Kettlebell Quote

I saw this in an article by TC Luoma over at testosterone.net.

19. Kettlebells are not the answer to every physique problem ever confronted
by man. They are not the cornerstone of a religion or philosophy. They're
simply a semi-useful tool, that's all.



I think he was being nice.

It goes against the Party line.

Was the nice part the "semi" or the "useful?"



Care to provide a link to the entire article?

This being mfw, Lee, on a completely different subject but one I know
interests you, I "discovered" I could make ice cubes from leftover
coffee, and they make a fine, fine addition to my iced coffee on these
hot days.

The above quote is the only thing to do with kettlebells. The rest is TC
ranting about Joe Weider.

Yep, that ice cube thing is a brand new technology! LOL

That is an old trick. It works best with small or round ice cubes. Which are
difficult to find these days.

Ironically you could substitute "Biotest Supplements" in place of
"Kettlebells" and the quote would still be perfectly applicable. Also
like kettlebells the real problem with Biotest supplements is that
there are less expensive ways to get almost precisely the same
benefits.

You'd think that someone who made a living marketing upscale whey
protein would appreciate the genius in marketing oddly shaped bits of
cast iron.

Perfection.

Plus you don't have to mail order those alternatives like you do the
Biotest products.

Not kettlebell-related, but perhaps of interest to MFW, especially one
Robert Schuh:

49. Don't use the power rack to do curls...unless you're using at
least 135 pounds to do said curls. To do otherwise tells the world
that you're nothing but a neophyte loser with poopie-stained shorts.

Funny schtufff.

But, unlike Luoma, I enjoyed spending hour upon hour in my back yard
lifting weights, at the rec center lifting weights, and at the gyms
lifting weights (Lancaster Health Spa, Club Phoenix, Atlus Gym,
Fitness America, Tim's Gym, Gold's, and, yes, even Planet Fitness,
plus ones I've forgotten) through the years and don't want to ax Joe
Weider in the chest for promoting six-day-a-week, three-hour marathon
training. Kept me off the street, off the weed, and off the booze. God
bless Joe.
