      Wasn’t trying to. I genuinely like using kettlebells for swings (and clean and presses), and one annoying thing I’ve noticed is how a lot of gyms don’t have any above a low enough weight that the swings don’t wear me out unless I’ve been going at it for a while. And I’m of the opinion that, much like deadlifting, more reps aren’t the same as more weight.

        Oh no I’m aware kettle bell swings are a pretty normal thing, I’m just imagining someone doing swings with a full barbell and claiming it’s part of their new disruptive exercise regime!
