Hi Si,

Did you look at the sumptuous.com website ?? Christa has a regference to a guy's site who does excercises with a sledgehammer or something like that. There might be something in it for yoo as well.

Kettleballs are HARD! 16k is a pretty heavy one for starters. Do a search for Pavel Tsatsouline's site. He's the Russian "inventor" of the kettle ball workouts. He has some books, tapes and DVD's as well as a site out there. Good luck, move your feet quickly, and be careful of your back

16kg is ok i find besides it was the lightest i could get hold of! its suprising how good a workout it is the old ticker certainly thumps away lol my back will be fine i was coached in olympic lifting in my late teens and i got good posture eventually if i step up the weight of it i'll use a belt but at the moment i'm fine

Here ya go: www.russian-kettleballs.com

They aren't giving any info away on that site! DVD, tapes and workout books for sale, though.

There was an extensive article I saw in one of the bodybuilding magazines yesterday. The focus was on Pavel Tsatsouline's techniques and there were lots of exercises to perform. I believe it was the June 2005 issue of Iron Man. There is also a good site kettlebell-training.com than should give you lots of details.
