I've lurked around the Dragondoor Forum for the past few weeks and now have some questions I need answered before I spend some hard earned cash. more »
I find it funny how people react to the price of a kettlebell. Their eyes usually get wide and their mouth opens a bit, as if to say "Are you kidding?"
I think their reaction is due to the fact that they just don't realize what a simple kettlebell can do for one's physical fitness, strength building and fat loss. I mean hey, it's just a simple little sphere with a handle, right? Where are the gears, the cables, the springs and pulleys that are a hallmark of a real piece of fitness equipment? more »

I've received my Russian Kettlebell Challenge video and have already watched it twice, but I have no clue how to proceed as far as a program or routine is concerned. I have read a few posts about using ladders and that sounds like a good idea and I will probably use dumbbells at least for the time being. more »

Pavel Tsatsouline's Russian Kettlebell Challenge was the first DVD produced by Dragondoor.com.
For those not familiar with kettlebells, they are basically an iron sphere with a handle, ranging in weight anywhere from 9lbs all the way up to a monstrous 88lbs. They can be used for both strength training as well as for aerobic conditioning, with the capability to condition one in both areas at the same time. For more information, visit the kettlebell FAQ page located elsewhere on this site.
I have to say that I was not sure what to expect... on the one hand I was afraid it would not be of the best quality, considering that "The Russian Kettlebell Challenge" (RKC) was the first Pavel Tsatsouline video released by Dragon Door. I worried that the transfer of the original video to DVD would not come off looking any better than the quality of the original. On the other hand I have never known Dragon Door to put out a product of less than excellent quality. more »

How would the comrades suggest one sequence kettlebell purchases, assuming you start with a 16kg kettle bell? In other words, start with a 16, then buy a second 16, then a 24, then a second 24? Or do the comrades think it best to start with a 16, then get a 24, then a second 16. more »
My doctor told me a while ago that I could lift weights as long as I stuck to the 3x15 rep scheme with light weights and didn't powerlift. Will kettlebell training stunt my growth? more »
I am considering the kettlebell book and/or video. I believe I read that beginners do not need to start with a kettlebell, rather just a dumbbell. Is this true or should I order the kettlebell immediately? more »

I was considering a kettlebell or dumbbell snatch program to shed some holiday pounds. How effective is this for trimming a waistline? I've had some knee problems including a patella tendon relocation surgery to prevent knee dislocations (which I was prone to). more »
I am curious about the contents of the Russian Kettlebell Challenge book vs. the video or DVD. I understand that the scientific "proof" of the benefits of kettle bell lifting are not entirely known. Given that, I'm curious as to the contents of the book vs. the contents of the video. I have read Pavel Tsatsouline's MILO article on kettlebell lifting. more »
