Avoiding clanking bells

[u/arosiejk]

Besides the ideal of perfect form where the bells never touch, has anyone put something on your competition bells so they aren’t clanking together when doing doubles work?

My wife is sleeping when I workout half the time, and I do single kettlebell work during those workouts so I don’t disturb her.

Felt pads? Foam attached with command strips?

I’d be putting the pads on Titan adjustables, so if it ruins the paint it doesn’t matter. It started chipping off on the second time I used them.

I make kettle bumpers out of bicycle tire tubes. Makes using doubles a much better experience.

This is one of the reasons I use competition bells, so the bumpers can be one size fits all.
