KBOMG Questions - FAQ
Who created KBOMG programs?
After reaching the national level in competitive bodybuilding in 2009, Joe Daniels became hooked on kettlebell training. As a result, Swing This Kettlebell and Strength was born in 2010, and KBOMG was made using his decade-plus of training experience since then, focusing on the primary use of kettlebells for strength, mobility, and longevity.
www.youtube.com/swingthis1 shows the past 14 years of STKB / KBOMG development.
Since 2005, Joe has been certified by various agencies such as NASM, NSCA, IKFF, and IYCA and has worked with some of the top kettlebell instructors and athletes worldwide.
Joe recently won a gold medal at the 2022 WKSF World Kettlebell Sport Championships in Portugal for the kettlebell snatch.
What makes KBOMG programs different than others?
Most online kettlebell programs are based around conditioning, and now, many Instagram-powered "flow-based" workouts exist.
Those are not conducive to building muscle and strength. Instead, they will get you better at coordination and endurance.
The original KB, ONLY MUSCLE GAIN program, was made by an ex-competitive national level NPC bodybuilding competitor who has trained with kettlebells since 2009 not only for kettlebell sport but for muscle building and longevity-based exercise.
Since then, many programs for various goals have been loaded to this site.
These programs are full of experience and guaranteed to be fun.

How many kettlebells do I need?
There are many ways to modify KBOMG programs.
Go by how your body feels, and don't push yourself to get injured.
We love hard work, but consistency over time is always the best answer.
Ask for help by contacting Joe on the message tab on the bottom right of your screen or by his various social media pages. Instagram is great for this.
For example, with the Original KBOMG Vol.1, popular sizes we've seen used include 2x 8-14kg and singles of 16-28 kg for females; 2x 16-28 kg and singles of 24-40kg for males.
Of course, the beauty of KB is that you can modify the exercises easily to make them more challenging or more accessible.
If you don't have many kettlebells to choose from, a single adjustable kettlebell (or a pair of them) can save you money and space in the long run.
If you are ready to choose a program, Joe would be happy to help you pick one based on your goals and access to kettlebell weights. Just message with the green message button at the bottom right of your screen or email info@kbmuscle.com
What KBOMG Programs are mostly SINGLE KETTLEBELL WORKOUTS ?
If you have a single kettlebell, the best plans would be...
STKB FUNDAMENTALS of KETTLEBELL TRAINING
Hopefully, it's common sense, but you should be proficient and comfortable with performing single kettlebell exercises before you move to double kettlebell training.
The FIRST 8 WEEKS of Original KBOMG Vol1.
Once you finish, I recommend getting a matching bell to create a pair that can be used for the second 8 weeks of KBOMG1 and every other program I have. Double Kettlebell training will create more overall strength and open up many options in your kettlebell training.
STKB KETTLEBELL COMPLEXES ( 75-80% of the weekly movements are single kettlebell training. Double kettlebell exercises can be modified to be single kettlebell or even omitted from the 6-week plan.)
LADDER CONDITIONING KETTLEBELL WORKOUTS (10out of 13 of the complete workouts are single kettlebell training. 3 are ADVANCED due to the double kettlebell paired with volume)
KETTLEBELL PENTATHLON PROGRESSIONS (completely single kettlebell training. Recommended to pair with any other single kettlebell program on this site. )
TURKISH GTFU! Program (90% single kettlebell training . There are a couple exercises such as double rack carries that can be modified to do half left and half right for example)
"QUICK and DIRTY" 30 KETTLEBELL EMOM WORKOUTS
For the busy individual. 10-30 minute EMOM based workouts with 95% of all exercises being single kettlebell exercises. Great to pair with all other programs offered as this can be done as an addition or as a training session if you don't have much time for a long workout.
If you are ready to choose a program, Joe would be happy to help you pick one based on your goals and access to kettlebell weights.

MOBILITY Instructional areas
RAD Roller App
I can't say enough about the quality of the tools this company makes. I have one of everything.
Their free MOBILITY APP is beneficial Grab RAD Roller products here.
"JOERAD" saves you 15%
The Ready State
Mobility app, coaching, injury protocols, and everything. I've been recommending The Ready State ( formerly Mobility WOD) since I took one of KStarr's first seminars after the Supple Leopard book was introduced.
ARMAID
If you do anything with kettlebells, you'll want to have one of these self-care tools. Gripping the kettlebell for everything from swings to snatches builds the forearms, including the wrist and finger flexors and their opposites.
Taking care of these muscles will allow you to train with a kettlebell for longevity as it goes a long way to prevent tendonitis and super-tight tissues in the lower and arm-hand.
Self Care videos are located on their site below.
