People love to debate which is the best variation of the kettlebell swing, the Russian Kettlebell Swing or the American Kettlebell Swing. Funny enough the American Kettlebell Swing people don't tend to hate Russian kettlebell swings, but the Russian Kettlebell Swing camp HATES the American Kettlebell Swing.

In a constant battle for what is best, we need to keep in mind that everything is a tool and we need a variety of tools in our toolbox. Balanced programs and balanced training should use a variety of implements, exercises, ranges of motion, intensities, etc. It's almost like playing the desert island game. If you were stuck on a desert island and could only bring 1 book with you for the rest of your life, what would you bring. This brings up the arguments of not just what book is best, but what book would you want to read over and over again. It is a hypothetical game that doesn't mean much in our reality where most of us can read as many books as we want AND there may be some books that are incredible, but we'd only want to read them once.

So, which exercise is the best? Are kettlebells better than dumbbells and barbells? Who cares!!! They all have pros and cons, so let's use all of them, to take advantage of all of their pros and minimize their cons!!!
