I checked on www.dragondoor.com and they stated that the average man should start at 35 lbs. and will progess to 53 lbs. I started with 20 lbs. and have progressed (for swings) to 30 lbs and can do 1 or 2 swings at 35 lbs. Of course the weight varies depending on the exercise.

Hi Brad,
If you decide to get the 35-pound KB, you can also modify *some* of the moves using a lighter dumbbell. For instance, I have a really hard time doing Turkish Get-Ups and Windmills with my 15-pound KB, so I use an 8-pound dumbbell for these two moves; if the workout I'm doing then moves into something like swings next, I quickly swap out the DB for my KB.
Do you need any suggestions for videos to buy?

>I just got providence and love it. any other intense ones
>you would recommend?
Do you have Keith Weber's Extreme Cardio one? It's fantastic! I've only done it once so far, and was really sore for a few days afterwards. }( There is more info and a clip on his website:

I just got Providence a few days ago, and am eager to try it out!

I think it just probably depends on how the weights feel to you since each individual is so different. Is there a store near you where you could try swinging around various sizes to see what might work best?
Oh, and I made a goof -- I already have The Kettlebell Way (which is a new version of Art of Strength Providence), and just got AOS Newport, which is supposed to be harder. I'm hoping to try it out this week!
