I bought both of my 35 pounders at muscledriverusa.com each was about 80 bucks shipped.

I purchased the Mahler's Aggressive Strength DVD and its pretty good, and comes with his book via e mail.

lots of information on bodybuilding.com about it was well.

its a pretty good way to go if you want the best bang for your buck.

Good to know Chris, I spent $20 and got his onlinie book "The Kettlebell Training Manual e-Book." So far, I'm digging it. It shows a lot of exercises but I'm sure there's a lot it's not showing. But I'm pleased. I think a DVD would be good though as well.

if you got the video the book would have been free.

if you check out his 5 pillars to bodybuilding it will explain a lot of the beginning kettlebell exercises.

Cool, I'll check that out. Thanks!

My legs and my shoulders and my traps and my entire arm feels like jello. These things are amazing!

This tread has got me to hitting them again. I like to do the two hand swings. For some reason. High rep swings helps you press heavier. Over time. Swing the heavier bells. You will be able to press them. Turkish get ups work well for your core. I have read that 10 min. with the bells is like a hour in the gym. At 52 years old, it seems longer than that.
