Kettlebells, Comments, Influencers, Me and Lebe Stark under Fire

I'm a shill for a kettlebell company? I don't think so.
I report on what works best. I purchase tools to use and talk about.
That's how this channel has been since 2009.
the now deleted comments say that first I was paid recommending KBells and now Lebe Stark.
video in question is here. and 2 years ago I first started using ProKettlebell with 26,28 and 32kg. two months ago I purchased 2x16kg. They sent me the Level Up weight magnets to try. ,( awesome bTW)
Almost every kettlebell company there is offeres an affiliate program to pay coaches for their time and expertise
personally I would go with a company that works with KNOWLEDGABLE and EXPERIENCED users and coaches vs allowing Anyone To be an affiliate but thats me.

    Some people just talk far too much instead of demonstrating. Have just been watching some twat who carried on like a broken record. Opinions only, show us and observe the body doing it. Anyway it’s supposed to be inspiring, and Joe makes me feel part of the gang doing my workouts correctly, good form and achieving my goals. I dont have great big muscles but can still swing, snatch, clean and press. I’m now 81, the photo was taken 10 years ago, but the training continues. Someone asked me “what are you training for”? My response was “to stay upright, strong and capable of physical activity for as long as possible.

    Commenting without knowledge of the dilemma you’re discussing. I won’t chastise anyone, but I will praise you. You have found success with kettlebells. The pandemic a few years ago lead me to kettlebells. They have unlocked cardiovascular strength and for lack of a better term, “dad strength” as I grow up. I’m 25 and kettlebells give me confidence I’ll age in a healthy manner while maintaining a strong physique. The heavier you lift, the more expensive a KB will cost you. Simple. Keep doing your thing. I support a local kettlebell company in my Canadian area: white lion kettlebells Never even considered another brand simply because of the local aspect. Support local businesses if you can, before buying heavy objects online. Keep up the great content Joe And by the way, I have at least 4 of your videos downloaded to my phone in case I’m ever stuck without service. Those videos are perfect for maintaining knowledge of effective KB exercises. Thanks again!

I have a bunch of different bells and have a few tacfit bells with a similar design but they are like the Pontiac compared to the Cadillac and still makes a hugeeeee difference!

There are pages that rep shorts, bags , anything possible. I'm not mad at em. But if anything I get the least amount from pro KB. If I wanted to make lots of money on referrals I'd recommend the most popular and well known brand vs what I Think works the best and is most versatile.
