Can Kettlebells alone let me reach my goals.

[Holroyd]

So I have been training for over a year and last week introduced a 16kg to my routine.

I originally started in with 3 x full bodies a weeks with football 3 times a week.

then onto an olympic routine.

then on to strength and then a typical split.

So now i need a new routine

last week I did the kettlebell 300 (monday 20mins 23secs) (thursday 19 mins 11 seconds)

on tuesday and friday I did an upper and lower routine (lower tuesday)

I struggled with the upper body routine s fitting in all of them was bad .. without me adding any of my ideas can you give me some ideas what you think i should be looking to do . Do you think I can just work with kettlebells to achieve my aims ?

When I can train : Every day apart from Sat (football )

Aims : to gain as much lean muscle as I can

currently at 13 % BF at 12st 10 and im 5ft 11inch .

What do you reckon chaps all thoughts welcome

if you invest in some heavier bells i see no problem with KBs getting you to your goal, you'll be a bit limited however with a single 16kg. Maybe try to throw some sandbags in there.

I agree with losingit.

KBs are like any other weight training equipment, they're just heavy lumps of metal at the end of the day, so as long as you have enough of it push yourself sufficiently on each exercise, then why not; but a single 16kg is not going to do it on it's own.

I've got myself a 20kg before christmas, and have it in the house to throw about, which is great, but on its own it'll never replace a good Barbell and Dumbell session when it comes to getting some serious lifting done.
