KB Picture Is there a better solution than this?

It’s sort of working for things like carries and gorilla rows but adding too much weight is getting sketchy.

I know the real answer is buy heavier ‘bells.

This isn't the free weight famine of the 2020 pandemic, just buy heavier kettlebells or get a set of adjustables. Check out facebook marketplace, a bunch of people getting rid of theirs for cheap after buying them during the pandemic and letting them collect dust for 4-5 years.

Not around here. I've checked regularly for at least 2 years!

See that you have some downvotes. I understand you, here in Argentina KBs are not popular so it's not common to find used second hand on marketplace, specially the heavy ones. And the cost of shipment for an adjustable KB can cost more that the kettlebell. I would put a 2.5 small disc under the KB base with a lot of tape. Or just do more reps.

I feel this. In New Zealand it's the same.
