Best Practices for Kettlebell Training?

[febane]

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently started incorporating kettlebells into my workout routine, and I’m trying to understand the most effective ways to use them safely.

I’m curious about proper form, ideal weight selection for beginners versus intermediate users, and how often kettlebell workouts should be done each week for strength versus endurance.

Additionally, I’ve heard conflicting advice about combining kettlebell exercises with traditional weightlifting or cardio.

Does anyone have tips, routines, or personal experiences they can share?

I want to maximize results while avoiding injury.

If you’re just getting into kettlebells, the safest starting point is focusing on swings, deadlifts, and goblet squats with a weight that lets you keep your back neutral the whole time. Two to three sessions a week is usually enough to build strength without overtraining, especially if you’re mixing it with Muay Thai or regular lifting.

When you start adding more conditioning work or pairing kettlebells with striking drills, having reliable boxing gear really helps keep everything comfortable and injury-free, especially for wrist and knuckle support during bag rounds.
