Hopefully these stay in full production. I don't have the need for it now, but will be adding another one to my arsenal in the future (to replace the Titan Fitness bell).
This is very cool to see the advancement of this equipment as time goes on! One thing I do wish now is the ability to buy the half kg and one kg plates separately from bells of steel. Seems to be an exclusive to only the Wildman edition model.
Mark, First off, your content is amazing, and I always learn so much from your videos! Have an idea I wanted to throw out there, and that is about replacing the plates that come in these adjustable kettlebells with a heavier weight (i.e., lead, tungsten, platinum, etc.) which would allow you to take the bells up to 48 kg. In such a scenario, you probably wouldn't be able to micro load down to .5 or 1 kg increments, but if you had a 20 kg base weight added to the 12 kg shell and four 4 kg add on plates, you'd be there at 48 kg. Cost might be crazy, but it would save a ton of space.
I would love to get it. But shipping to Germany costs almost as much as the bell itself. (300$ for shipping alone) So if you factor in taxes you are looking at around 750$ for this one. I'm waiting for a company in Europe to provide this update and cheaper shipping. I'm happy for the US folks though.
@@cioran1754 I didn't see a need for the adex stuff since Heroic Sports provides fillable systems. Mark has a video on their thick grip club on this channel. It's great. With lead shot their normal club can reach above 20kg (I'm at 18kg right now) and it's much cheaper than adex. They are based in Denmark I think.
@@ryusuikarate good option :) , 18kg no joking ! , single or two-hand ? How did you find this HS handle for two-hand ; the shape ; the sand moving around?
@@cioran1754 18kg two-handed. I don't have a grip strong enough to do this single handed. I own a shorter version of the Pahlavandle XL (same length as the thick grip model but with a different grip) and I like it very much. The wood doesn't get slippery at all (at least not in the first 30min of training but I've not tried swinging it for longer). The "sand" I'm using is lead shot. And it swishing around changes how much you have to stabilize and brings in some small semblance of chaos. I would say it's a bit more difficult than with a stable club but really only a tiny bit. My daughter (13 months old) loves the big rattle :)
Saving up for one. I feel like I've received so much value from the content that if I'm going to get a new bell... this is the one I should get for sure. Congrats on going to market with these. Blessings.
Damn just bought two KBK adjustables after watching an older video from Mark a few weeks ago. Wish I knew this was in the pipeline, definitely would have held out. Looks sweet really dig the logo casting, but I can't justify having 4 KBs. Hopefully they sell the smaller plates on their own in the future. Looks like right now they are not after reading some comments.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. The small plates are nice if you really want to microload, but you can still hit small increments with what you've got. People have been successfully training without those increments for a long time!
You can also substitute adjustable dumbbell weights, with the 1 inch hole. I have a 1.25 lbs weight for micro loading. Got two off Amazon for not too much.
I’ve got a 12k and a 16k now. I was just telling my wife that I need a bigger kettlebell. And the jump from 12k to 16k for a clean and press…for this 67 year old body is tough. After doing sets of 12 reps with the 12K, I decided to see if I could make the jump to 16k. I got 5 tough reps. I felt good, but I’m really looking forward to more sane increments. So…I just placed by order.
even though the shipping to europe costs nearly the same as the kettlebell(up to 32kg) itself -.- god damnit, was hoping that shipping solution helps...
No. They won't. I emailed them and asked yesterday and was told no. Just bought a second adjustable bell from BoS about a month ago, and then they release this one.....annoying to say the least.
You can get 1 1/4 and 2 1/2 pound plates with 1-inch centers and drill them out to 1/2 and 1 kg, which is what I did because I couldn't find 1/2 and 1kg plates with 1-inch centers. It was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it. I had to drill over a dozen 1/2 and 3/8 inch holes.
@@CarbageMan yeah, I got 1.25 and 2.5lb plates with my first adjustable bell....within 1/4lb is close enough for me, but it would be nice if they'd sell them separately to established customers.
@@BaseOfThePillar23 yeah, I definitely would have waited. I ended up waiting at least 6 months for the wildman adex gear to come back in stock before buying. In the end its not a big deal. It's still a great piece of equipment that'll do everything I need. Just annoying to find out could have had something just a little bit better if id held off a few weeks.
Wow! Good job. I couldn't find 1k and 1/2k plates with 1-inch centers and drilled out my own 1 1/4 and 2 1/2 pound plates. PS: The handle is really nice on mine! I like the option of not buying as much steel. Oh yeah, customer service was great! The shipping company almost destroyed mine, and we worked it out so they didn't need to ship another one. The only thing I didn't like about my BoS competition kettlebell was the screw thread is pretty rough, so the nut doesn't move freely all the way. I'm hoping it loosens up a bit. I might try a wire brush.
That is a bummer. The old style adjustable dumbbell weights generally come with a 1 inch hole. I bought a couple 1.25 lb weights off Amazon. But producing your own works too.
Have two of the original. Don’t need the logo, but I would like the additional plates. Might get them. On my most recent addition, the paint does chip a bit too easily. Otherwise, fantastic product…so far.
“In a world where sitting down has become the enemy, two guys…” It’s a launch lads, exciting stuff. Surely you should have smashed a bottle of champagne on the side of it or something?? 🥂🍾🍾 I will end up investing because Nike tells me I should “Just Do It”, L’Oréal says “Because I’m Worth It”, and if I’ve learned anything from Parks and Recreation it’s that you should “ Treat Yourself” ( Just demonstrating the power of a good ad slogan here. “Go Wild. Go Wildmanathletica” “To Succeed , You Need Bells of Steel” (I’m demonstrably not in advertising, but you get the drift). Anyway, congratulations. I hope you both make a fortune 🍀🍀
I absolutely want to buy these. Can I buy them directly from a BoS store (and save on shipping) or do I have to go through your website, Mark? I want to be sure you get credit for it.
Awwww. Got 2 of the Kettlebell Kings adjustable already. It’s cool, but considering kbs started with just a cpl weights and volume cycles made those weight jumps possible, I think my adj kettlebells will work fine. If I ever see a need for more bells ( like not switching weights for heavy light days ) I’m definitely gettin these
Why doesn't this show how easy/difficult and quick/slow it is to change the weights? It's a nice premise IF you can do all movements with the same weight and only need to change it up or down occasionally. But I swing more than I can press, I press more than I cen TGU. What's the reality of changing weights on the fly during a workout as I can do with multiple KB?
Always happy to see more adjustable kettlebells on the market, still waiting for them to be afordable in europe though, since the shipping costs (understandibly) more than double the price of a bell. Also correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that the Wildman Bell only differs from the normal version in terms of having the Wildman logo on it and being a bit more pricy? Not sure how to feel about that
Hi Mark ! Congratulations for this excellent piece of equipment ! I checked the site but they dont ship to Greece unfortunately , any way to solve this problem? Thank you for all your work
So what sets MW edition apart from their base model (which also includes 1 and 0.5 kg plates), a logo? The difference was a bit more pronounced with Adex… 🤪
Particularly the v2.0 BoS. They look pretty similar from the description here and the one on the website. If the pricing is different, I'd just go with the cheaper one. If the pricing is the same, I'd go with the MW version because he's the reason I bought my first adjustable from BoS and I assume that he'd get some kind of a profit share from the MW version.
Looks like the difference in the bell itself is that it has the MW logo. The price is comparable ($30 more for the MW variants), but seems like it comes with a discount for MW's KB training programs (says "20% for all KB Programs and Bundles"). So probably a good deal if you're looking to get the KB and the programs. It looks like it also comes with a couple of extras (a flag and what look like wrist bands with some kind of protector in them for when you're trying to learn C&P or snatch so you don't hurt your arm too much). It didn't seem like the "extras" were highlighted in the video, so who knows if that's a limited time thing?
To add: Note that "the difference in the bell" part is about the v2.0 bell. The differences between the v1.0 and this one are discussed in the video I think (more weight selections, better paint, etc).
Yup... Grabbed my credit card, and sat down ready for an impulse buy... I'm sobered up now, and will likely take a year for me to get these in accordance with my life plans... I don't actually need them because I've got a set of three Kettlebells I already use and love, plus a myriad of other equipment... I've got the website bookmarked and look forward to getting these in the future. Hopefully there's an adjustment clubbell, and Mace at that time too.
Noticed on the website that Portugal is not on the list of countries for delivery, while it's direct neighbor Spain is. Any particular reason for that? the sipping rules should be the same, as they are both part of the Schengen area in the EU.
Fixed that for you, there was no reason, I think we just picked the highest population to start as we're new to international shipping. Heads up there may be duty/taxes on arrival/
Mark would you see any problem with using one of these adjustable kbs and a fixed weight competition bell for long cycle if the adjustable kB is about half and inch taller than the comp bell? I have the kettlebell Kong’s adjustable and several kettlebell Kings fixed weight and the adjustable is 1/2 inch taller. I can switch hands but any inherent problem with one of the bells being half an inch farther away from me
Hopefully these stay in full production. I don't have the need for it now, but will be adding another one to my arsenal in the future (to replace the Titan Fitness bell).

Nah there new updated one came with both plates as well. It also comes with 2 nuts to center the weight if you like.
So happy you and Kaevon were able to build a partnership. Keep up the great content, very greatful for all you do.
Congratulations on the new bell! It looks amazing!

I’ve been working on it for over 2 years. Making it economical is a challenge

Next. 48kg adjustable? That would really be a game changer.
