Believe it or not, some people say we shouldn’t criticize other fitness practices. They even criticize us for criticizing others. Isn’t that weird? If we shouldn’t criticize others then why do they criticize us for doing so? Aren’t they actually agreeing with us by doing that? It’s bizarre.
Fact: there is such a thing as right and wrong in fitness.
This picture is proof.
NEVER, EVER hold the kettlebell this way! This is NOT how it’s done. Why? Your thumb is not strong enough to hold up the kettlebell. If you try to hold it like this, you will drop it. This picture comes from a women’s fitness magazine, BTW, where a lot of the general public gets it’s so-called “fitness knowledge.”
So if you’re one of those people who thinks we shouldn’t criticize others, then please hold the kettlebell like this, have it drop on your toes and break them, and then in your ambulance ride to the hospital, maybe you will realize that there is such thing as right and wrong in fitness and you were simply wrong.
As for the rest of us, we’ll keep learning from people that have proven through real results that they’re doing it the right way.
