I disagree with this statement.. but I'm a nobody lol. Not trying to dog on kettlebells because they're great and versatile but I don't like the new fad of kettlebells.. I know they're old school but sometime in the past decade they came back like crazy.. they should just supplement your training.. I don't think you can solely use kettlebells and succeed strength/conditioning wise. But if that's all you have then you can make it a long way for sure. I think that's what makes them appealing for the most part.
"He is an expert on many old school training systems ( he believes them to be vastly superior to modern day Gym type stuff)"
I can agree with that.. some of the things my dad showed me from back in the Persian days etc... are pretty interesting and effective at least from what it seems :P. I can't use the things he has lol... not strong enough.. so its not from personal experience :P. Old school training is usually more fun as well.. if you're looking to be entertained. Another reason I think kettlebells are popular.. anyone can do it.. and for people that don't like to train its more entertaining.
