The barbell squat was the first major step in my training. The idea of lifting heavy weights on my shoulders and feeling the tension of every repetition immediately fascinated me. Working on technique, improving the depth of the movement, and seeing the progression of the weights were key elements that made me love this exercise.

I’ve lost count of how many times people have asked me if a 12 kg kettlebell really can help burn calories and sculpt the abs.
