    I agree with CHristopher Crayon. Steve Maxwell is a somewhat crazy human being, but his kettlebell workouts stand alone. You can do a whole workout (try Heaven and Hell, it's REALLY hard if you push yourself), or you can just mix basic swings and clean/press into your circuits.

    Check out Crossfit, RKC, AKC, or some others for KB shit. 1 pood(35lbs) are great for long duration, 1.5 pood(53lbs) is awesome for shorter duration, and for pure strentgh 2 pood(70lbs) is the shit. A couple of my Crossfit buddy's do shit with 100lb kb which is crazy. Definitely start light and work your way up.

    I do this http://www.maxwellsc.com/articles.cf...010&startrow=1 with 35lb. bells. I can only do 3 circuits though. My wife does it too, she uses 10lb. bells.

    I have 2 35 ilb kettlebells and I honestly unless you are an extremely large person I would not recommend anything more than that. I am 5 ft 8 and 170 ilb when I am not cutting down and I usually just use one of my kbs most of the time. I know not everyone is torrent friendly but you can download almost all of the steve maxwell workouts on kickasstorrents.com. There also some pretty good kettlebell workout books in the martial arts section at barnes and noble though really all you need is a simple and intense workout like the video post earlier in the thread which btw, thanks for that I will be adding jump rope between my reps now!

    Might want to step it up a notch

    We are doing 4 x 15 min rounds for the kettlebells workout then an hour of wrestling right after it

    That's our baseline kb workout:

    12 kb swings
    12 kb squats
    12 kb press

    10 sec rest

    12 alternate swings
    12 clean and press (each hands)

    10 sec rest

    10 Turkish get ups (each hands)
    10 halo (each way)
    10 full circle (each way)

    1 min rest and back for round #2 up to round 4

    I'm doing everything @ 44lbs except the get ups I'm still struggling with them I do them @ 35lbs

    I do a routine along these lines. Now its not intense enough so instead of jumping rope every other minute, I'll throw in some burpees or some core reps. A minute of burpees then going right into something like gun slingers is almost too much. But i figure if I can make it an intense 20 mins, a couple 15 min matches wont do anything to me at Gracie Worlds

    One problem is that you need different bells for different exercises, and they are expensive. I am 145-150 lbs, bu when I do swings, I use AT LEAST a 54 lb kettlebell, and I use 35s for clean/press. But if I am doing twisting lunges or something, I use a 26. Good thing my coach owns a whole set, and then some!

    The Turkish press with kettle bells is good for a sweat. ((((Rolling)))) is my favorite exercise though.
