People in forums use the acronym OP to refer to the person who started the thread. What does it really stand for??
Do you believe that some of the articles on Dragon Door contradict each other?

The link is broken.
BTW great thread!
It now works.I just clicked on it in your post and it works...
If anyone else has this problem, please let me know. I'll see what I can do about it.
Some abbreviations:
RIS - Relax into Stretch
OAPU - (it also stands as "One arm PUSH up")
DD - Dragon Door
HTT - High Tension Techniques
HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training
HKC - ???
Some definitions you want to add:
Density
Intensity
Volume
Shouldn't you explain the abbreviations of USST and SSST (they can be confusing as in ETK its implied USST is 24kg snatches but it has come to be used for 32kg snatches).
NonStop said:Also, you say the best place to start is ETK. Shouldn't the question be rephrased to what is the best place to start for kettlebells?
Some definitions you want to add:
Density
Intensity
Volume
I'll add those in.
I didn't know that. Whenever someone says USST or SSST, I usually think of the 24KG first, and even then, people now usually specify with which weight they are using.
As this is a Kettlebell centered forum, with a few exceptions (NW & PTTP, etc.) I thought it would be automatically implied. If you look at all of the threads where newbies ask where they should start (they don't specify with what), the answer is almost always ETK, not NW nor PTTP.
The Recon Ron Pullup Program Wikipedia article has been removed. I found another link for it here: Recon Ron Pullup Program

Traveling with a Kettlebell on an Airplane:
There have been varied reports of people doing so. There have also been members on the forum in the past who were denied their request. Update (May 14, 2009): I asked a TSA supervisor today specifically, while I was at the airport. If you are flying in the United States, a Kettlebell is considered a bludgeon, and thus cannot be brought on the plane.
As for flying with a Kettlebell in other countries, I cannot answer that, maybe someone in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America can comment on that.
Quick question for some clarification on airplane travel with Kettlebells. Does this apply to carry-on baggage only, or checked luggage as well? I'm traveling from the US to Australia later this month, and would like to bring a Kettlebell with me. I can understand not allowing a Kettlebell in the cabin of the plane, but not allowing it at all seems a bit extreme.
It applies to carry on only. You can't really bludgeon someone with a Kettlebell if it's in the cargo bay of the plane.
