Hi Tee_w,

Thank you for your comment; great job with this killer workout!

For your question, I would recommend reviewing this article I wrote as a guide to folk buying their first KB. Although you have been using a sandball, I would still advise you to consider starting at perhaps 12kg and maybe even an 8kg. It won’t be long until you progress to 16kg, but I have to air on the site of caution with KBs, because they are different to other tools and technique is everything. For deadlifting, most females would be fine with 20kg, but form is so important.

I hope this information is of help and that you have a great time training with your new KBs, once you get them. If possible, try before you buy!

Cheers,
Marianne

I have been thinking of picking up a couple of kettlebells, haven’t figured out what size to get yet. My sandball is adjustable up to 30 lbs but you can’t adjust it during the workout. Do you have recommendations? This weight wasn’t too bad for the one arm cleans and pulls, but light for deadlifts and two handed swings, and rather challenging for the snatches.

Anyway, thank you so much for the workout!

Thanks Duncan, did you check out my New 500 rep workout too? My technique has improved a lot since this one.

Thanks for posting 🙂
