I think squats strengthen the core too. I am not surprised, even with the flaw in the methodology of the study - olympic lifters increased the weights and KB people used the SAME 35lb kettle bell - olympic lifts are always going to add more muscle/strength.
Tim Ferriss yaks about KB's all the time like they're the only shit on the planet. My opinion is they are good for ancillary training from time to time. When I saw a vid of him swinging 100lbs KB I laughed. It's kind of like curling and throwing your back into the curl. Anyone can swing a bunch of weight around.
I am a big fan of diversity. However when I want to add muscle mass/size quickly, I do olympic lifts.
Never hurts to diversify
Like I mentioned about I don't think that's the flaw in the methodology. I also don't see how one requires more "skill" than the other. The larger issue is the KB weight did not increase over the period of time like the olympic weight did, which biases the study.

How can you know what wins and what doesn't if you always do the same thing?

Kind of like eating 6 meals a day vs. 3. If you like planning your life around your diet instead of diet around life more power to you.
The nastiest shit in my opinion still involves core and balance, a la pistol squat, one leg deadlift, etc.
I have an idea. I would like to see a modified version of Crossfit, called the "get really fvcking jacked and have great form 100% of the time" variant

I only do curls. Typically 7,000-10,000 per day ........ sometimes I do my left arm too. You should see my 6-pack.

That's all that matters. The KB's are good for a variety of things.

You guys don't mind if I put food in here, do ya?
For Bo, here's what I had yesterday. I also snacked on carrots and cauliflower, and had a protein shake.
Breakfast was 3 scrambled egg whites and roasted broccoli.
Dinner was a turkey burger with feta an avocado, salad with hearts of palm and basil dressing. The book calls for a squeeze of lemon on the lettuce but that's not gonna fly with me.

but I think you should not be all that "hardcore" immediately...throw in some "feel good" foods every now and then in the beginning because by going from 100 to zero in no time might give you massive food cravings up to the point where you dream of it at night
and then you might give up rather frustrated...just a thought...some are of course totally ok with such a sudden change and last through it,but many don`t
props for your efforts anyway!!
keep it up
