Another clip from the Atomic Athletic Strongman Picnic. This one features Bob Nickerson “The Jock-ular Juggler”. Bob is a former Guinness book world record holder for multiple basketball dribbling. His juggling and other feats of dexterity have been seen nationally on network TV.
In recent years on top of pool cues, basketballs, and axes he has started juggling kettlebells. Though he has done 10 lb kettlebells the ones in this video are 7 lbs each.
This is the first person I’ve seen to actually ‘juggle’ kettlebells and the first to have three going at once. Now that I’ve seen it, maybe I’ll work on the skill. What about you? And just how heavy do you think it could go?

I was there at the Atomic Athletic Strongman Picnic to pull a fire truck with my hair. Once that was complete it was all fun and games.
I had interviewed Andrew Durniat before (it’s one of the bonus calls you get with The Definitive Guide to Kettlebell Juggling) but this was the first time we got to meet in person. Andrew is excellent in his kettlebell juggling skills (not to mention barbell, stone lock or plate juggling) so we decided to have a faceoff.
If you’re familiar with the basketball game HORSE then you know how this went. One person does a trick then the other tries to replicate it. Back and forth. In the end we didn’t keep score cause we were just having too much fun. Here’s a short clip below.

Mike Mahler has put out another great product. I own all of his workshop DVD’s and think that they cover some of the best information out there. Watch my video to see if this one is right for you.
You can read the full details and order this DVD set here.

For those who think kettlebell juggling is all skill and builds no strength I’d like them to try this one. While lighter kettlebells can be used effectively and advanced tricks can be done, have you ever just tried the basic flip and gone as heavy as possible.
In this video Rob Russell flips a bell a single time. But this bell happens to weigh 80kg or 176 lbs. You can read more on his blog here.
I’ve been doing more heavy kettlebell juggling recently. How about you?

In this video from the European Weightlifting Championships in 2004 held in Kiev, Ukraine you’ll see a troupe of professional kettlebell jugglers. With groups of people the juggling is almost always synchronized which looks great when done right.
You’ll see a lot of partner juggling, that is tossing the kettlebell from one person to another. They do it in the normal easy forward way but also over the head and under the body.
There’s also catching of the bell in the back of the neck/shoulder area. Not a move I plan on trying to replicate any time soon.
And one of the most unique moves is juggling the kettlebells while standing on top of other people. They bring out the female who then juggles the kettlebell while in the side splits!
I’m unsure of the weight of these kettlebells though I believe they are light, probably 12 kg to 16kg at most.
