Kettlebell starting weight
Enter the measurements above to calculate kettlebell starting weight.
How the calculation works
V17 calculation: complexityFactor={simple:0.30,moderate:0.20,ballistic:0.10}; rawStartingLoad=targetExerciseLoad×complexityFactor[movementComplexity]; recommendedStartingLoad=floor(rawStartingLoad/availableIncrement)×availableIncrement. The result is reported as Kettlebell starting weight.
Worked example
Example: Estimated appropriate exercise load = 20 kg; Movement complexity = simple; Available kettlebell increment = 2 kg. Result: Recommended Starting Load = 6 kg; Raw Starting Load = 6 kg.
