@TRHLofficial There seems to be a struggle between the man and the spirit. The spirit knows what is right, while the man wants what feels good. Though they exist within the same person on earth, they rarely work in harmony. The struggle is where we learn and ripen the soul. maybe
@newstart_2024 Won't money be basically useless in that scenario ? Information, the ability to farm / make things and hard assets will be the new currency?
Maryland Gold’s Gym locations are upgrading their kettlebells.
Better ergonomics.
More consistency.
Stronger coaching flow.
Small changes on the floor → big impact on training.

Powerlifters: Add These 2 Kettlebell Exercises
I started in powerlifting under record holder Bull Stewart and later coached competitive lifters myself.
Like most powerlifters, I ignored kettlebells at first.
They looked like conditioning tools, not strength tools.
That changed when I started using them for rehab and durability.
Kettlebells train things barbell work sometimes misses:
• Grip endurance
• Shoulder stability
• Posterior chain durability
• Joint integrity
And surprisingly, they carry over well to the platform.
If you only add two kettlebell exercises to your training, make them these:
1. Single-Arm Kettlebell Swings
Deadlifts and swings use the same engine:
• Hamstrings
• Glutes
• Erectors
• Lats
• Grip
But you can’t deadlift heavy every day.
The compression and fatigue add up.
Swings let you train the hinge pattern without max-load spinal stress.
They build:
• Posterior chain power
• Grip strength
• Better hinge mechanics
• Anti-rotation strength
And single-arm swings expose asymmetries many lifters never notice.
They also teach counterbalance, which helps lifters stay behind the bar during a pull.
That’s free kilos on the deadlift.
2. Kettlebell Overhead Squats
Squats require more than brute strength.
They demand coordination between:
• Ankles
• Hips
• Thoracic spine
• Shoulders
• Core
Overhead kettlebell squats expose mobility limitations instantly.
Unlike a barbell, kettlebells move independently.
Your shoulders, traps, and core must stabilize everything.
It’s basically a full-body mobility audit.
If you hate them…
You probably need them.
How to Program Them
Single-arm swings • After deadlift training
• Heavy, low swings
• Higher reps early in a cycle
• Lower volume as competition approaches
Overhead squats • After squat day
• Or occasionally after bench
• Moderate load
• Focus on control and position
No circus circuits.
No conditioning mashups.
Just smart assistance work.
The takeaway
Barbells build max strength.
Kettlebells build the durability that lets you keep using it.
If you want to powerlift stronger and longer, add:
• Single-arm heavy swings
• Kettlebell overhead squats
Max strength is impressive.
Longevity is elite.
Precision starts where you can’t see it.
At Neu Iron Industries, every Pro Kettlebell is internally machined to achieve: • Tight weight tolerances
• Ultra-smooth interior surfaces
Why it matters: this precision allows our magnetic chip weights to adhere securely, without rattle, drift, or compromise.
Built from the inside out.

Dec 31, 2021.
I was grinding kettlebells by hand.
We were finishing everything ourselves. As demand grew, we tried outsourcing in the U.S. to scale faster.
Missed deadlines. Poor quality. High costs.
We nearly failed.
So we took out a loan and made two moves:
• Launched an international line to increase supply + lower costs — now funding our USA manufacturing
• Started building our own factory in Austin, TX
Offshoring went smoothly.
Building domestic manufacturing has been harder — but it’s finally coming together.
Foundry. Grindshop. CNC. Finishing.
Live by February.
New Year’s resolution:
A Pro Kettlebell / Neu Iron industrial revolution.
