You can use it for presses,
squats, deadlifts,
snatches and cleans instead of barbells or
dumbbells.
However, maximum definition in the abs and midsection comes from losing bodyfat, and the most effective exercises featured in my program for that goal are various forms of swings and
snatches (unique
dumbbell or kettlebell exercises that almost nobody ever does in normal gyms),
squats, deadlifts, lunges, step - ups, clean & presses, mountain climbers, sprinting, and other full body exercises and calisthenics.
My point here is that this type of excessive abs training is really a waste of time training a relatively small muscle group such as the abs, when that time could have been better spent on full body exercises such as
squats, deadlifts, clean & presses, lunges, upper body presses and pulls,
dumbbell swings,
snatches, etc, etc..
As a result, practically any exercise you do with it — from conventional strength movements like presses and
squats to more unique kettlebell exercises like swings and
snatches — is going to require stricter form and more muscle activation than you could get away with using a
dumbbell.
