Why KB's are better than DB's?
 

Yesterday in my mail I got the latest Hard Style from DD and there was a full page of DD comrades explaining why KB's trump DB's. (Coach Rut's blog had a little thing talking about this).

Some of these things were the most ridiculous reasons ever!

My wife and I own a few DD KB's at my place but I never bought into the "KB's are better for everything hype." I personally like KB's for swings better than DB's because of the feel. I also prefer doing high rep snatches with a kb rather than a DB too.

Greg Everett's piece on KBs in the PMenu is a good place to start.

You can't do GS with a dumbbell!

Wait, there was that goofy 4x4 guy who did dumbbell curls and presses for hundreds of reps and 20-45 minute duration sets with the 40# db.

How dare you call Dragan goofy!

But you're spot on. He's doing GS with dbs. Didn't I say previously he was the poorman's Pavel?

I liked Rutman's post as well, while I miss his workouts I enjoy reading his thoughts!

DD pushing KBs?? No way.......

Some of those reasons...soooo LAMEEEEE!!!!

Like:

KBs won't roll off your desk
KBs come with a Free carrying handle
KBs come in a variety of colors such as black, and blacker
KBs are too heavy for people to steal
KBs act as a home security system when placed over doorways
KBs will make you speak Russian

Dragon Door? What do they know about anything?

Kettlebells are so last year...

Believe in the Serb!

I've never even heard of this guy....sheesh I think my arms would fall off!

BTW James I will preemptively blame you for my arms falling off since now I just have to see how many of these I can do in a row.

My favorite part of the article is: "Bearded scientists may not agree with him, but Dragan is adamant that people should give it a go and see for themselves."

I want to know what the clean shaven scientists say about it!!
