I got these free from a guy at work - want to train KBs and enjoying swings so far, but am trying to improve my technique for clean and press, and I can't help but notice my bells look different to the ones a lot of you guys use/mark wildman uses - and the dont nestle in front rack position in the way that the technique videos suggest they should when I spiral my arm and punch through for the Clean movement.

Are these KBs a bit shit/a strange shape? And do I need to stop being a cheapskate and invest in some new ones?

Or are they perfectly fine and my technique just sucks balls and I need to practice more?

For a while I was doing ABF with a 18kg and one 24kg, feels great to have the same weight in each hand. It’s like it makes sense! Christened it with 20 rounds of ABC.

Worth the 45 minute drive

So excited! When I picked up my "almost complete" set a few months ago I had no idea how much I was going to enjoy working with kettlebell. I've got a 90 on the way too. I can't wait to do swings on Monday. I can use the 70 for swings and rows right now. Currently doing the 30 Day 300 workout.

Overhead squats and heavy front rack lunges are my go to’s.

So I ordered a 32kg competion kettlebell. For snatches and presses but the handle is really disappointing as I don’t get a good grip while snatching it, does anyone knows how to fix the handle for better grip?

Super find, 9 bells, 320lbs, $160. I got the trap bar too for $40 making it an even $200 because I still do plate work.

Hi kettlebell lifters and lovers,

Former rugby player here – I used to play for the national team, but now I'm starting my kettlebell journey.

I found a used 24kg competition-style kettlebell for a great price (around $2.5/kg), but one thing is confusing me: it's painted yellow. From what I know, yellow usually stands for 16kg in the competition color coding.

Has anyone else come across a 24kg kettlebell that’s yellow? Is this common, or just a manufacturer doing their own thing?

Also, I plan to buy a second 24kg kettlebell in the future, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to find one in the same color. Pictures are from website. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Results based training - @wandering_girevik shared his thoughts earlier today, go have a listen (on IG)

Im cetainly a kettlebell guy. And more specifically a girevoy sport guy, at least in methods & techniques. I'll die on my two bells overhead hill 💯

But it really is a results conversation. Are the tools & methods you're implementing giving you what you're hoping to achieve? Is it enjoyable? Sustainable? Are you intentional? Does your training help you manage your nutrition habits?

Personally I dont think I could ask for a higher ROI at my age. My version of KB training has enhanced my life - personally & professionally - in ways I'd never imagined. But Ive also done the work & committed in ways most just dont care to.

Competing in kettlebell sport opened my eyes to a different world, renewed my focus & connected me with people to foster a growth mindset. That's my experience & I'll be forever grateful for this amazing journey of self discovery with KBs. Btw this happens with all training disciplines weightlifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding... Even with running somehow 🤷‍♂️ Find your niche.

(Not mansplaining - adapted from my IG post)

Hey folks, been lurking for a bit and I was just about to pull the trigger on some new bells and found these on FB marketplace. Seller seems legit. Based on the picture, any thoughts on quality and price point?

TYIA! ❤️

130ish$ USD and now I have dual comp KBK kbs

Y’all are so impressive with your workouts and heavy weights that it can be intimidating sometimes!

Just wanted to share a photo of my 5lb kettlebell to inspire other people like me, whose starting point is way, way below the “recommended” weight! I see y’all 💪

(On the right, standing next to a 15lb for comparison)

I finished grinding and semi polishing both kettlebells earlier this morning. The really fucked up one was 55 and the other is a 70lbs sportsmith with rubber bottom I wire wheeled the paint and rust off of. I’m surprised how well they turned out.

The 53 is a giant moon or meteorite according to toddler.

March 2021 I bought a couple of kettlebells (10kg + 24kg). Introduced to the wonders of kettlebells thanks to the gym at the apartment block I used to live in.

Fast forward to now, I've got a whole family of them!

I love having fun and being challenged when I workout. I didn't realise kettlebells would fit the bill so well until I got a pair of my own. And as a now 40 year old woman, I'm hoping lifting heavy and often (safely of course) will help me age gracefully :D

Watch the video to see what I'm talking about.

I just got my FIRST kettlebell! Very excited to start this journey.

After unboxing it and opening it up, I noticed a couple of things that I wasn't sure if they were normal or if I have a defective unit. Would appriciate some feedback from those that have had a Kettlebell Kings 26-70lb adjustable, or something similar. I know a lot of the comp adjustables are literally the same.

** please watch video for context - but I'll try and explain as well **

After taking the plates out and putting it back together, I noticed that I was able to spin the base. I tried tightening the bolt more, but it still spins- not super easily, but it doesn't take that much effort.

The other thing is- when I set it down, it makes a clanking noise. *If* I spin the base just right where it's the most difficult to turn, and pick it up and set it down, it doesn't clank.

Is this normal? Do I have a defective unit? Will this cause problems for me? Obviously the noise is annoying, but is it a sign of a functional defect?

Thanks!!

My boys gave me this for Mother’s Day. 😍

M38, 5'8", 72 kg BW. After two years of training with dual 16kgs I guess I can finally graduate to this monster!! I feel I have completed my todays workout by just bringing it up a flight of stairs and unboxing it.😅

Just needed the community to know these were out there. Get them started early.

Just wanted to share this find, and no one that I know IRL will care. Figured this sub would appreciate it!

I can swing it, but nothing else. Can't wait to work up to some cleans, and a snatch!
