B asked:


I purchased one 35 lb kettlebell a few days ago and have been doing squats, sumo squats, 2 and 1 handed swings, and rows (back); about 3 sets of 15-20 reps. Is this enough or should i do more reps? What about rest time? I’m comfortable using free weights, but the kettlebell feels odd especially when i attempt a clean or any exercise where the bell sits on forearm; I have a bruise on forearm. I believe the problem is that the bone shape of my forearm curves a bit due to a broken arm when i was younger, so when i do a clean, the bell is not flat against my forearm (hits the slightly curved part of bone). Is there any solution or does it sound like i’m doing the exercise wrong? Also, is the book enter the kettlebell worth getting? And where can i find a good starting routine?
