Cool. I said i would update, and haven't even picked one up yet. My knee is fucked, my hips are fucked, my shoulders are fucked, my wrists are fucked, my neck is fucked. What's to lose...couldnt be worse. Deadlifts, for me.
Pavel is the man (but also a businessman). He is really cool though, actually speaks to the customers and will take the time to take care of any problems. Rather than just buying his kettlebells, buy his books & videos. All kettlebells are expensive, but it is more about knowing what to do with them. You can find them cheaper elsewhere, but not by much. For strength building, Kettlebells are superior to free weights and dumbells.
An additional question, given this is a more or less health /fitness sort of thread, anyone have any of scott sonnan's stuff, dvd's etc? Any good?
