 Kettlebell Curls | I recall reading somewhere that performing curls with a kettlebell is not a 'good' exercise... Having tried them myself and done them for a while now, I think they are actually pretty good. Sig Klein thought so too, in fact, he listed curls among his favorite kettlebell exercises. |

 Sig Klein at 57 years of Age | "I have always found the kettlebell to be one of the most useful and fascinating pieces of weight training apparatus. It can be handled in so many diverse manners that its application in the field of body-building exercises is almost without limit. You will have to hunt for a long time to find a more versatile piece of training equipment." - Sig Klein |
