Why don't I see more about kettlebells on /fit/?
Are they a good solution for people who lack the space for gym equipment or who can't get access to a gym or are too autastic/poor to go in the first place?
They seem pretty versatile but there must be some drawbacks considering everybody seems to prefer all the big equipment.
Major problem: They're not scalable. You'd need a whole set if you are going to have an effective workout.
You can't really bench press them. The size required for an effective squat/deadlift replacement for anyone with testosterone would be absurd.
There is really nothing that cannot be achieved more successfully using barbells. The only thing they are essential for is swings, they should be a part of any endurance routine.

I'm not sure. I totally love them myself.
>Are they a good solution for people who lack the space for gym equipment or who can't get access to a gym or are too autastic/poor to go in the first place?
Given that I fall into one of those categories I and have a home routine that I'm very happy with, I would say that there are indeed a great solution.
Here's a link to that routine if you're curious:

As the other guy said, they aren't readily scalable which makes them a problem for people who are basically just trying to get big.

I don't even do swings myself, but I'll agree that most of what they're used for can be just as easily done with standard dumbbells.

This is very useful, thanks kettlebro
Hi /fit/.
Could you please comment on my frame ? Are my hips wide ? Shoulders ? I'm 184cm for 163 pounds and 15% BF according to my scale.
I've lifted for 6 weeks now, and started a 500kcal cut last week. My question is, do you change our routine / intensity / volume on a cut, since muscle building speed changes i thought I'd ask. Do you recommend I cut at this %bf or keep lean bulking like i have for the past month ?
I'm running a modified PPL routine. I understand PPL is way too much volume for a beginner to handle, but I like to start with an aesthetics routine so here is what I do : PPxLPxPLx. I'm between jobs at the moment so perfect diet and sleep are easy. I also keep volume rather low:
Push
4 * 6 + 2 * 10 BB OHP
4 * 6 BB Bench Press
4 * 6 DB Incline Press
2 * 10 DB Reverse Grip BP
4 * 10 Lateral Raises
4 * F Tricep Dibs
Pull
4 * F Pull-ups + 2 * 10 Lat Pulldown
5 * 10 DB Row
5 * 5 RDL
5 * 10 Bicep Curls / Hammer Curls
Legs
Ab work
6 * 4 + 2 * 10 Squats
5 * 10 Seated Calf Raises
My bench is at 65kg, squat at 80kg, RDL at 80kg (limited by grip strength), and i'm seeing great progress strength wise.
Pics are me today

Any constructive comment is welcome
I meant to say dips* ofc
What are /fit/'s aspirations outside getting swole?
is that faggot letting his girl peg him with the cat in the room?
>>37810050
>Finish my apprenticeship.
>Start my own business.
>Make good money
Really, that's about it. Having too many goals and aspirations just makes them even more unrealistic.
So is Dan bilzerian the ultimate alpha male? He has achieved everything /fit/ wants
>He lifts
He's 5'7", pays women to hang out with him, failed Navy SEAL training and once paid $1M for a bit part in a shitty second rate Hollywood movie. Not to mention his lifestyle is only possible because of his criminal father's exploits.
He's the consummate beta male.
He bought everything he has with his rich daddy's money
Not very alpha, much as he tries to show off otherwise
>>37828561
to be honest I know a bunch of /fit/ faggots are going to hate, but I wish my life was like Dan Bilzerian's. He's got the perfect like
>Rich
>Does whatever the fuck he wants
>Bangs hot girls all the time and doesn't give a fuck
I know some of you are already typing
>But those girls are only with him for his money! He pays them to be with him! He's insecure!
Get real guys. Honestly, are you fucking 15 or something? Do you think you'll ever even TALK to the calibre of girls this guy is fucking every single day? even your AVERAGE AS FUCK girlfriend is only with you because you're the hottest guy that hit on her, not because she "cares" about you or likes your fucking retarded meme spouting personality.
Would honestly trade my entire life just so I could spend a week in this guy's shoes. The only criticism that I can think is that he inherited most of his fortune and didn't earn it. But who cares desu.
Is it possible to get a chest like this from only push ups?
What's the best exercise to achieve this?
>>37824493
bench press, flys
That shoulder forward rolling .
And people are supposed to find this attractive?
>>37824502
I have no clue what flys are. And I was asking because someone had told me push ups are easier on the shoulders than bench presses. But I guess not the equivalent huh?
>>37824514
I don't care what people find attractive, I'm just tired of being thin as paper and I would love to have pecks
I don't do this, but is it actually harmful? If so, how? It's just a stretch. Who other harmful "advice" have people tried to pass on this forum or in general? You'd have to be a real scumbag to try to harm a total stranger like that.

>Finkelstein's test is one way to determine if there is tenosynovitis in the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons of the wrist. These two tendons belong to the first dorsal compartment.
You have to be a special kind of retarded to damage yourself like that
>>37821850
I did this exercise I got mad wrist gains from this, my wrist grew 3".
You have to do it really hard and fast.
