Left unity in action

It's exactly how the left will defeat fascism, we might not have brute strength but we have unity.

Pfft; speak for yourself, I'm strong as fuck.

Strength comes from solidarity, community, comradeship, NOT decadent individualism like body builders / anti civs.

Bodybuilding is a bourgeoisie activity. There's nothing wrong with keeping in shape (I play squash, personally), but there's no way you can claim bodybuilding isn't hyper-capitalist and wasteful.

On a more important note; body builders rarely, if ever, use kettle-bells; body builders lift for form/aesthetic and kettlebells don't break the triple digits in terms of weight (using pounds here), making them inefficient for long term gains.
They also starve and dehydrate themselves to emphasize muscularity and/or have a very restrictive diet; so, in a way, they aren't really as strong they could be; but strength isn't their primary goal.
Powerlifters lift for strength, but don't use kettlebells either; they primarily deadlift, benchpress, and do (weighted) squats, but these exercises have bodyweight counterparts that one needs no weight equipment for, leading to the next thing.
And then there's just plain strength training; where someone uses physical exercise to build muscle; you can use equipment or go weightless and focus on calisthenics, isometrics, and/or plyometrics. Kettlebells are included here; and they're inexpensive, though I'd personally recommend dumbells as they're more versatile.
NOT decadent individualism like body builders / anti civs.
Body builders aren't even the individualist strawmen you're painting them as; disregarding proper gym etiquette is frown upon and they freely share information for improving gains with each other. Look up the concept of "spotter".

Yeah.
From the various bodily functions required to exercise.
How are you to use a kettlebell as an improvised weapon if you aren't strong enough to lift it?

Maybe we don't need the kettlebell?
Well...yeah?
You think I'd be using something I needed as a blunt instrument?

Why would you use it as a weapon? What are you talking about?

I don't know any martial arts and you can't find big rocks anywhere where I'm at.
What are you talking about?
Property damage and harming police. The latter is always at the forefront of my mind.
