Of all my kb workout programs. (Second is Providence, but I don't always have time to do that one!)
I finally broke down and got heavier kettlebells as I need them for deadlifts and a lot of the leg work.
In the beginning I used mostly 20 lb, 12 kg, 25 lb. and then I finally bit the bullet and bought heavier. Now I"m using (for leg work mostly) 16, 18, & 20 kg bells, with room to grow ... and I still have one more if I ever need it for deadlifts. (22 kg) but I'm not in any hurry to get there!
I did fine with my 12kg and 16 kg for a VERY long time. And for over head stuff? I still do NOT feel the need to go super heavy.... the max I use is about 20 lbs. MAYBE 25 lbs. if I'm feeling very strong.....
The joy of kbs, is there's not a lot of reps ... so I can go heavy. . . .Or not.
depending on how I feel.
