Ebay...where else would you look for something cheap. The Kettleworx shopping channel delight suggested a 10lb kettlebell for men...a full 10lb. And I nearly swallowed it. A little search and I found a guy called Pavel Tsatouline suggest men start with 16kg. KG? that's like 35lbs...not 10? But I'm a man, eh! 16Kg of cast iron it is.
Several days later I cat a phonecall:
-Your dumbell thing came
-Great stuff
-Feckin' weight of it...the postman left it at the door
-Uh-oh!
So a plan was to try to get the lifts right...I'd seen videos so it was easy. Huh! There ain't nuthin' easy about lifting 16Kg for the first time. I'd seen Steve Maxwells 300 Kettlebell challenge so I said I'd try it but only half. I'll bet Mr Maxwell never thought of the 150 Kettlebell Challenge. Just as well...I got nowhere near it.
"Why don't you go up to that gym with the Kettlebells?" spoke the wise one who left the little black off-the-shoulder number at the door. Yeah, maybe.
