Despite its ancient origins, the kettlebell has managed to stand the test of time as a strength and conditioning tool par excellence - even inspiring the creation of a sport organized around the tool.

For the past few decades, many kettlebell sport practitioners have taken it upon themselves to not just dismiss, but actively and consistently badmouth Hardstyle - the kettlebell training style pioneered by the Father of the Modern Kettlebell Revolution, Pavel Tsatsouline, a former SPETZNAZ physical training instructor and founder of the Russian Kettlebell Challenge and later StrongFirst.

But do their arguments have any merit? And which style is REALLY the best?

I dive into this and a number of other topics on this very episode. In it I cover:

History of Kettlebells: Ancient origins from Iran, China, and Greece
Kettlebell Sport vs. Hard Style: A comprehensive comparison
Origins of Kettlebell Training in Russia
Legendary Strength Athletes and Their Kettlebell Training
The Development of Kettlebell Sport Competitions
Pavel's Hard Style Kettlebell Methodology
Athletes Trained Using Hard Style Techniques
Critique of Kettlebell Sport Enthusiasts' Attitudes
The Versatility of Kettlebell Training for Different Fitness Goals
Historical Use of Kettlebells for Strength and Conditioning

On that note, if you like training that:

· Gives you more strength than it takes from you · Improves your stamina and resilience simultaneously · Powers-up every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your Soft Machine

Then you just might like my 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge.

As the name indicates, it's just 9 minutes long, and it's designed to be done WITH your current workouts – NOT instead of them.

Even cooler:

Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pullups, and more.

And best of all, it's free.

How free?

I'm talkin' freer than the 4th of July, my friend.
