Kettlebells are a moronic hipster fad, OP is right. It's inferior old tech compared to dumbbells. You can probably use them for some spastic strength-endurance routines on light/rest days, but any persona/program that shills them in favour of dumbbells, barbells or cables is a marketing grift
I am a boxer. My club is very competitive and has numerous pros and decorated amateur champions. I am one of the lower skill guys on the team but I enjoy being the small fish in the big pond, since I know I am getting exposed to the best around. I have actually sparred with former world title contenders. Kettlebells are occasionally used, especially swings and clean and press.
I have literally never met a single one who deadlifts heavy. A couple of them very occasionally work in high rep sets with light weight as part of a circuit, talking about 175-200 pound guys DLing 95 lbs for 20 as part of a super set circuit type thing. My MMA buddies do it a little more but I have never met a combat sport athlete who goes anywhere remotely heavy enough to have any clue with his 1RM is. The athletic benefit of deadlift is almost nothing.
Interestingly Bulgarian split squats and front and rear dumbbell lunges are the most popular leg exercises I've seen among fighters. Just my two cents.

demoralization thread made by a demoralization troony
op is a Black person troony who doesn't even lift
Swings, cleans that aren't dead cleans, snatches that aren't dead snatches. Anything that goes between your legs basically. >hurr but that's niche
So is random armwrestler shit. You'll do your side lateral bent over reverse side flys and hammer curls, and I'll do snatches and double clean&jerk.
Holy frick, I just looked up some videos on KB cleans/snatches.
lmao, that shit's just sad. I see now why you're a permadyel.
>Desperately distinguishes between "snatches/cleans" and "dead snatches/cleans" >KB snatches/cleans are not even actual snatches/cleans.

Next.
Okay that one is legit, DB are better for some of the isolation lifts then. I just don't like how they prod at my shoulders when doing front squats or how you have to balance shit when doing any sort of weighted carry. And since I mostly do those instead of weird isolation lifts, it matters.

I'm saying that a KB clean/snatch isn't even a clean/snatch.
I was over here thinking that at least when you guys were talking about doing cleans/snatches with KBs, you were actually doing a comparable movement to a clean/snatch.

Double handed cleans are close to powercleans, but yeah KB snatches and BB snatches are completely different.
That doesn't make KB snatches worthless though, I find them fun. Better than the fricking KB swings, I hate that shit.

You know you can do front squats with a barbell, right? That way you can actually add a reasonable amount of weight. It won't prod your shoulders either.

Fair enough, if you don't have access to a gym for some reason
look how op immediately started having an autistic fit when everyone started disagreeing with him
you'd think he would post his body to "btfo the kettlebell hipsters"
but no, get ready for him to come up with more mental gymnastics
because he obviously doesn't have a body to show, he's a total tiny dyel or some ugly lardass lol
Same argument applies to literally anything overhead, the shape doesn't change shit because it's not an issue unless you're a complete moron.
So I guess it's an issue for you, huh.
Sad chest syndrome is really hard to overcome
Not him, but so far he's the only person that posted body in this thread.
Kettlechuds really are even more dyel than a guy with a flat chest.

You went from slightly impressive to absolute shit looking, look at that sad chest
/fit/ness culture is really scam on top of scam
Deadlifts are important BTW. You need them to achieve a 2/3/4, which, for me, is a basic strength standard that has to be met before you can move on with life.
Black person that’s literally the easiest one out of the four to achieve if you put the effort in. It’s a shame so many people have to start light their first session and totally give up out of embarrassment.

Why do kettlebells cause such butthurt in some anons? Yea they're overhyped at times, but they are just differently shaped weights. If you can handle a bell of over 30kgs you are stronger than all the whinging ISTcels lurking and posting depressing and demotivational garbage like this thread.

Loser. Kettleanon won, everyone kneeled out of respect
I like kettlebells and I benefit from them. I've got pictures of current body from yesterday but can't care enough about this dumb debate to take the 11 seconds. All I do are 1km walks without putting them down: 2x40lbs. kettlebells. The body rewards the heavy, sustained carry.

I literally only see dyels use kettlebells. Particularly roiding powersharts making their clients do them instead of benching and other normal shit that actually provides results. I really don't get why powerlifters make everyone do these. Like, they should know they didn't get big and strong from this shit.

Kettlebells have shit grip and aren't as versatile and dumbbells, especially if you train something like armwrestling.
>Kettlebells have shit grip
Those are called handles not grips. Your grip, however, is very shit if they give you trouble.
>aren't as versatile and dumbbells
Name a single DB lift you can't do with a KB besides hammer curls, I'll be waiting.
>Your grip, however, is very shit
I pull up with more weight than you though

Arnold press, most armwrestling movements, shit to use for wrist curls as well due to the weight placement, and so on.
