Thanks for the comments guys. Adam is a great resource of information. He knows how to make a new facility work for kettlebell application, as well as ramping up on your feat of strength training to avoid injuries.

Adam,

For someone looking to add kettlebells to a facility (already have plenty of barbells, including thick bars, and dumbbells up to 150 lbs), what would be a good bet?

I notice some companies offer bells starting as low as 4kg and progressing upward in 2 kg increments (up to about 20kg) and then from 24 kg on they increase in 4 kg increments……the company Muscle Driver USA comes to mind.

Would bells up to 24 kg be sufficient from most people with exercises like swings (more so for conditioning purposes) and TGU’s?

Basically I am looking to add whatever size and number of kettlebells that allow for optimal progression and will receive heavy usage (as opposed to larger sizes that may not receive much use, save for some very strong athletes). Price is not an issue, but I figure that the heavy dumbbells will have me covered for those that need extremely significant loading.

Sorry for the long-winded question, but any thoughts on how to make the best investment would be appreciated.

Adam is a big motivator for me these days. I am not engaged in bending or card tearing yet I find his psychology. motivation, drive and method very awesome.

Thanks Jedd.
