This is a question that is often asked on the Dragon Door forums. Lots of people will weigh in with their suggestions, mainly revolving around already being able to hit certain goals with the KBs already in one’s possession.
The impetus for moving to a bigger kettlebell is to give the muscles more work to do. It is common knowledge that moving heavier weights builds bigger muscles, faster.
With all that in mind, both Clif and I have considered moving up to a 32kg kettlebell. In Old Russian Measurement, that’s Two Poods of serious iron, my friends. We think that will help us prepare for the test in December where we will need to press 2.5 poods, which is approximately 89lbs. There is an 88lb kb (The Bulldog) that we would need to press once with each arms to call ourselves “men among men.” (Hmm. That turns out to be awkward construction when used in the plural.)
What it looks like might happen is that Clif will go with an Ader kb, which he can get with free shipping for a limited time only. I am thinking of staying with The Party and getting a Dragon Door kettlebell. I’m just too scared to try new things, that’s all. I know what I’m going to get with DD.
We’ll let you know what happens.
