Kettlebells changed my life part 1

In a nutshell, kettlebell training has changed the way I live. While kettlebells played a sopmewhat significant role in crossfit style training, I have never experienced such incredible gains in fitness and strength as I have since switching to training with kettlebells and body weight exercises almost exclusively.
It happened almost accidentally. I purchased a pair of kb's, ostensibly to use them at home, to augment my other training. However, when I went to collect them, I decided to stick around for the training session with Trent Murgatroyd (Kettlebells South Africa). It blew me away.
I thought I was fit, I thought I was strong.
Kettlebells schooled me... The intensity and duration of the training session shifted my pradigms, in terms of what I percieved as acceptable levels of exertion, endurance and strength.
I began training with Trent once per week. That quickly escalated into twice and now four times a week. Probably will hit 5 soon too...
Trent's training sessions have significant focus on being strong, and then being strong again and again and again!
I remember pressing a heavy kettlebell on my first day there, and feeling rather pleased with myself. Then Trent said: "So? Is that it? Now do it another 25 times..."
I've certainly come quite a long way in the last 6 months. The other day I trained in a commercial gym with a friend of mine. This is the first time I lifted a barbell in about 4 months.
I was ecstatic to see that not only had I preserved my 'strength' I had actually improved on my ability to execute every rep with perfect form, as a consequence of the improved "strength endurance" I have gained from Trent's kettlebell training methodology.
Bench press was executed with bar touching chect on the negative of every rep. Squats were the image of ideal ass-to-grass, deadlifts my lower back refused to arch, even on the heaviest sets!
