No a short skinny male. Now please give advise

>>41868025
Well I'm weak as fuck. I can't bench press for shit.

>>41868034
I advise you to forget you ever heard about kettle bells.

what the fuck do think a kettle bell will accomplish

>>41868100
I heard you can work your whole body with them

>>41868170
after a few weeks of a gym you will notice gains and you wont have a heavy ass kettlebell sitting around collecting dust in your apt

16kg for men is usually advised. I do kettlebell swings of 25 for 24kg between squat sets, I really love it. Amazing for your posterior chain and conditioning

OP - what are your goals? No one can offer any advice till we know

>>41868170
turkish getups and kettleswings will get your corn burning. Dont listen to egolifting faggots whose entire identity revolves around "strength training" with a barbell.
There's also not a better exercise for fucking than kettlebell swings. If you want to get stamina and be able to forcefully thrust, kettlebell swings are your best bet. But then again, how would the fatties know?

>>41868004
>the 10 lb and 15lb feel too light

Yes but 20 is too big. Get 15. It's in the middle.

>>41868282
this guy is sort of right but if you have the goals that young men typically do (strength and big muscles) then you're better off with heavy weights. rugby players, NFL guys etc are big, strong, alpha and they get that way by lifting

kettlebells have their uses, notably in the realms of conditioning, mobility and balance, and some martial artists make use of them. personally, i, and many others, see them as a compliment to training rather than the entirety of one's training. also, take no advice on them from anyone who isn't pavel tsatouline as its almost always "functional" memery designed to waste your money. i'm not saying that other good coaches etc have good advice but pavel is the go-to guy.

good luck

proper swings give killer thighs and hip flexors

I do kettlebell swings between deadlift and squat sets. I aim for 150 each lifting day. I feel my back and hamstrings after each workout. It helps with your grip as well.
It shouldnt replace a workout by any means, but being dismissive before never having tried it is narrow-minded and ignorant.
Progressive overload can happen through other means than increasing the weights, and kettlebells will get you show you how shitty your endurance is. Do them, and start easy. Its more demanding than you might think

>>41868282
Sweet, thank you.

I just want to be lean but I'd like something to get me there or close before going to the gym. I don't want to look like a weak fuck infront of girls

>>41868578
16kg, 24kg and later 32kg for swings
8kg for turkish getups
Pull-up bar. Once you get to 10-15 reps, start using weights.
But know that losing weight is mostly diet, and building muscle easiest with a barbell. You can do a lot of stuff to get /fit/ at home, but ultimately you'd waste your time if you end up going to the gym anyways.
But definitely implement kettlebells into your routine

>>41868623
What else can I do at home?
Best exercises for lower body strength?
Whats the best exercises I can do to substitute barbell squatting from home?

>>41868689
The squat nothing can replace adequately. Get a barbell and rack, or go to a gym. Fat you can lose, kinda ripped as well, but for building muscle mass nothing approaches the barbell.
You should also learn to manage your expectations, especially if you've never been physically active before. You can build some strength and endurance if you feel you need it before attending a gym, but dont expect your goal physique to be attainable with only that

>>41868419
absolutely. progressive overload can happen many ways. no disagreement there whatsoever.

the problem i find with kettlebells, however, is that i'd rather have the option to progressively overload in as many ways as possible, and kettlebells, being non-adjustable, fail in that regard, at least when you have access to only 1 or 2 (most gyms i've been to with kettlebells have them increase in 2kg increments which negates this problem)

>>41868689
squats-wise, you can do one-legged squats and eventually weight them using your kettlebells. to be honest though i've never seen anyone who does this to have legs beyond 'toned'. if you want decent leg development, you NEED a barbell and a rack.

>>41868812
Oh ok. Thank you very much

OP there's no need to restrict yourself to only a kettlebell. your bodyweight will give you a killer upper body if you can devote years to it. if you want to get toned before the gym, it will also do that. keep an eye out here and on /asp/ for bodyweight generals to get you started, or go to reddit if you can stomach the place and look at bodyweightfitness.

Go there and buy a 35lber to start with.

I added them for cardio and do about 100 reps every day. Good shit. Better than running.

>>41868282
>doing something that can just be accomplished with oly barbell moves and it develops the muscles better
