Not at all.

We will find a few things...

in one paragraph of less, what are Kettlebells and why should
anyone
use them?

You shouldnt.
Use dumbells instead.

A kettlebell is basically a cannon-ball with a handle. The size
and
shape makes it especially useful for swinging and one arm
snatching.

Yerah, and thowing from the top of a roof as well...

Thanks!

If you do even the tiniest bit of online research about
kettlebells
you'll run into Pavel Tsatsouline.

No ***!

He's the Russian ex-patriot that
is responsible for the rebirth of interest in the gizmos.

Traitors cannot be trusted.

I like mine. The kettlebell is an excellent way to train for
endurance strength, and kettlebell drills are a great way to
incorporate a bit of "active recovery" into your standard
strength
training workout.

A light dumbell will do the same. Can be adjusted, and is a lot
cheaper.

I now give you adjustable cattlebells

Yeah, I should have mentioned that gizmo. I don't know how
comfortable it would be for snatches, but it would certainly work for
swings. The fact that it is adjustable (with a bit of work) is a
pretty big deal.

I have two of them (one for my gf) and they work just fine.
