Question by Chris M: What size kettlebell to buy?
I’ve been lifting for a little over a year and I’ve done a little kettlebell training in the past. My question is should I buy a 35 or 45 pound kettlebell?
Thanks for the advice, it helped me make up my mind. I’m going to get the 35, thanks again.

If you are only going to buy one, I would get the lighter one – it will let you do more exercises. In fact, I use kettlebells quite a bit, and if I were going to just buy one, that is the size I would buy (16kg/35lbs) – I think its the most versatile. I would buy that one, then save up and buy the more as I went.
Of course this all depends on what you are doing with it, and your personal strength. If you can do most of the exercises easily with the 45, get that one.

Im doing muay thai 2 – 3 times a week and want to start doing weights 3 times a week. ive been told to do my weights as a circuit but how will that benefit me. also should i use a kettlebell for some exercises. i want to build lean muscle but also want good cardio ability like a boxer. i have a bodyfat % of 8ish but have loose skin after a weight loss last year.
Thanks
I am not a big fan of circuit training, and here’s why:
Curcuit training is a good way to build lean muscle without adding bulk, as machines are never as good as free weights. Since you are relying in cable tension, sitting down or on some support, you do not get the added resistance of gravity, and the shakiness of cables requires you to add the effort of other muscle groups, taking away the effectiveness of your target group. There are many times where I excelled at a machine, but failed at the free weight version.You can get better results faster and more effectively using free weights with hi reps but low weight.
Cardio is lost on circuit training. Any workout will give you a cardio workout If you do them without rest. Its best to do a dedicated workout for cardio, such as rounds of sprinting until exhaustion, or H.I.I.T, to build endurance.
All this being said, I’ve found that circuit training is good on an off day, when you want both at once without maximal effort. Other than that, I see no logic in starting a circuit routine
