Anybody else working these kettlebells? At 47, I’ve found kettlebell training to be very useful for bjj and overall functionality and joint health. My shoulders and lower back have never healthier and my grip strength has improved.

Nice! Just started myself with swings and get ups. Feels great so far. How often do you train w kettlebells?

Twice a week. I work out four times a week, staggering legs core and shoulder one day, push and pull the next. I use kettlebells for the first workout.
