Kettle Bells

freemember05 · 03-09-2006, 09:49 PM

Does anyone here use kettlebells and if so how do you like them. Are they a lot better then other weight lifting equipment and if so did you notice good gains? Also anyone have any info on a good website to get them from if not a good place. I'm from California and I checked local BIG 5's (knwe they wouldn't have them) and Copeland Sports.

Thanks for the help..

check www.ironmind.com and www.brutestrength.com From what I've heard, they are nice, but not that much better then other weight equipment, and it hardly justifies the expense.

Yea ,was gonna say that the Russians used to be big on kettlebells and working out with tyres and sledgehammers and stuff like that.

Not worth the money. Buy a gigantic army duffle bag (ebay) and 150-250 pounds of sand. Divide the sand up into 3 mil trash bags, duct tape 'em up and stuff 'em in your duffle. Now you have an adjustable sand bag that'll provide you w/ endless opportunities and will work your grip far better than kettle bells. Grabbing sand bag = grabbing gi.

If you don't want to do that, just use barbells and dumbells. I know a lot of people like kettle bells, but to me, they're a bit gimicy.

Visit www.ironwoodyfitness.com and get the kettle grips to make your own kettle bells. It uses existing weights you prolly have and our cheaper than the real kettlebells.
