As I've mentioned elsewhere, there's a real difference in how your body will change depending on whether you do traditional bodybuilding workouts or kettlebell routines.

Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the whole "bulging muscles" look, but bodybuilding seems to give more of a "rounded features" physique than a chiseled-from-rock look. I can't describe it much better than that. It's not a fat look, it's more of a inflated muscle look… more like your muscles were pumped full of air than that of having taken a chisel and chipping away the fat to expose the ripped muscle underneath.

So remember, pick your workout method, pick your physique.

My resting heart rate went from 60 to 52. It had been stuck at 60 for years regardless of whatever sort of cardio training I did.

My protocol was pretty simple: one day emphasizing snatches and/or clean & jerks, followed by a day emphasizing presses, 5-6 days a week. My best performance of the snatch was 25 with the 16KG kettlebell or 13 with the 24KG, so there's a lot of room for improvement.

Lots of top boxers (De la Hoya and Foreman to name a couple) use wood chopping as a major part of their conditioning routine. I even read in Men's Health that chopping wood burns 23 calories per minute and is the best overall conditioner and endurance builder!

Does anyone have any ideas on how to replicate this exercise without chopping down the tree in my backyard? How do high rep kettlebell snatches compare to chopping wood? Would they give the same type of benefits?

Someone posted a similar question a few months ago, but I can’t seem to locate it. What would all of you (in your experience) describe a Russian Kettlebell physique as? From training with kettlebells, what is your physique/build like?

Also, are there any success stories related to using kettleblls? Since I started I’ve dropped about 20 pounds and have gotten much leaner. It seems to me that my stamina has also increased. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
