Killer deal!! Thanks!
Wow. I didnāt know I needed this, but it will help solve my floor space issues in the office that also serves as my weight room and āpain caveā. This is great - thanks!!
Just FYI - some folks who own this find it hard to use because itās slippery and itās uncomfortable on your arm. YMMV, but something to consider.
I donāt find the handle any more slippery than a standard kettlebell but I would think you could add some type of grip tape thatās not TOO grippy.
Iāll agree itās a slightly odd shape compared to regular kettlebells but I feel the adjustability more than makes up for it.
If I was super serious about kettlebell workouts sure I would choose regular kettlebells. But I can do all the basic movements that I need. I have powerblock adjustable dumbbells as well so I love the adjustability features.
But obviously others may be more particular with their needs.
Dumb ? from a KB noob:
- Would you need 1 or 2 of those adjustable ones for beginner use?
Sure seems like a good deal on a clean solution.
Yeah, I hear you. Itās like everything else, it depends on the individual. I spent the money on Powerblocks too and I really donāt like them because how how they hit my hands. Unfortunately, you have to buy a lot of this stuff before you can try it. The kettlebells ARE available in some shops though, so if you can find them to try them before you buy, thatās best.
For ALMOST everything, 1 adjustable kettlebell is enough. The Dialed Health kettlebell routine doesnāt have a single exercise I can think of that requires more than one at a time (you DO need different weights for different things though, so thatās where the adjustable are awesome). The only things I donāt like are the slippery handles and when you do a clean and they hit your forearm (intentionally, like at :07 here: Single Kettlebell Clean - YouTube)
That one only goes up to 40lb. Iām not that strong and my most used kettlebells are Vulcan Strength 35lbs / 16kg and 44lbs / 20kg. Really good for swings. Iāll go to the gym for heavier ones.
That Bowflex adjustable only goes up to 40lb and I donāt see $50 anymore. Somewhat awkward shape as mentioned.
However I have 10/15/20lb dumbbells. And a couple cheap Amazon basics 15lb and 25lb bells for Turkish getups:
you can definitely do plenty with a single kettlebell. Iām only buying a second one since the sale is too good. But Iāve had just the single kettlebell for a year and itās been great for me.
Yeah. The powerblock handles are a bit odd. I think for the type of workouts I do and the benefit of the adjustability I just deal with the limitations.
Yeah. Must have been a very limited time sale that I just happened to stumble upon
Iām a fan of adjustable dumbbells, but narrow grip space and ballistic kettlebell swings? Not a great combination. For doing swings, my Amazon Basics cast iron bells (pic above) are a little too narrow for my average sized hands. And the Amazon basics are smooth and not textured. So happy I bought two good training kettlebells. A few Bowflex adjustable reviews mention the narrow grip space as an issue.
The other thing about Amazon bells is you can get ones that have burrs. If you buy local, you can pick them up and feel the handles and seams for burrs.
Iāll agree itās narrow but itās never felt dangerous to me.
Yeah, this is the way Iāve gone with all my KB purchases. Sometimes you get lucky at second hand stores or on OfferUp, Amazon marketplace, etc. I have 2x8lb dumbbells, then 12, 16, and 24kg kettlebells. I find I need heavier KB weights for some things, but the lighter stuff is better for higher volume swings, single leg work, etc., so I have a little of everything.
As an aside, Turkish getups are the bane of my existence.
same. Thats why I bought a 15lb Amazon basics kb.

Just purchased new Ultegra Di2 12sp STI + calibers, front and rear mech, for 1000 euros at Bike24 
Pretty damn good since Iāll be able to find battery, and the rest of the small stuff second hand.
Keeping my Quarq DFour91 so perfect to find the core components at such good price!
That is a screaming dealā¦.I paid ~2x that this summer.
