So I'm just getting back into this and I have a few questions about implements... I have some kettlebells to throw around right now. I know they aren't as good as getting the real weights, but they are what I can afford right now. I should be alright throwing those for a while right? Opinions welcomed!

Yes and no. I would use them as a separate training exercise called puds. There are a bunch of pud throws you can do to help build your explosiveness. I would recommend building real weights or buying real ones to throw because the timing on the pud with a stiff short fat handle will be drastically different. Here's a solid pud video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyKhyQN1HEY ------------- Jeff Kaste "I think there's a Squatch in these woods..." |

I'd be apprehensive about clicking anything Jeff calls "a solid pud video." Other than that, he's spot on. I could see a kettlebell being okay for wob, but the feel and timing is drastically different when you add in links. I could see using it if you just want to do footwork drills with something in your hand though. |

I took kettle bells, put on some chain and a track and field handle. Now I have a hwt, lwt and wob. Can't be any woest than what I've seen at games. Just get the total length right. ------------- Larry J Readman |
