Regardless, we brought in nearly every available option from companies like Bowflex, REP Fitness, Titan Fitness, Rogue Fitness, JaxJox, Kettlebell Kings, and many, many more.

I got 2 adjustable competition kettlebells never looking back. Nothing comes close. Set up before my session takes a minute or 2 no drama's. Love them.
What brand big guy? I’m lookin at Kensui, Bells of steel, and REP.
Hey Coop. I used the Kettle Grip on my Ironmaster adjustable, worked great for shoulder work and wide stance swings, the best $20 spent in my gym. I eventually got the Ironmaster Kettlebell Handle and its super solid! If you get the longer QLDB lock screw it can go up to 80lbs.
Thanks Coop, I love your videos! Could listen to them all day. Fantastic and funny moments too!😊😁
I purchased Titan’s comp adjustable bells over the ones from Rep Fitness for 2 reasons. 1) Most of the kbell training I do is high rep work and I tend to stick with one weight for the majority of the workout. The handle is also more conducive to high rep work and easier on the hands. 2) I purchased these in the middle of the pandemic and I was using kettlebell weight for lots of other lifts since I didn’t have many plates at the time. I couldn’t easily look away from all the extra weight there 24kg vs 32kg.
Being the frugal guy I am, I bought two Titan adjustable comp bells and two cheapo Yes4All adjustable bells that EVERY company seems to sell. Titan sent me a third adjustable comp bell too because like them or not, their customer service is actually quite good.
Titan Comp bells aren’t the quickest to change, but they are durable, mimicking the shape and feel of a regular kb, and they give the greatest weight range. I keep one at 35, one at 53lbs, and one at 70lbs (or 1 pood, 1.5 pood and 2 pood). If I ever need dual kbs for a workout, I just change one. They’re also nice for when the workout calls for the rare 44lb or 62 lb kb. And because I mostly only change out weight once if at all in a workout, the time to switch out doesn’t bother me. It’s actually kind of fun once you know what you’re doing.
The cheapo 10-40 lbs lbs are primarily used for weighted hanging leg raises. Perfect weight range, and quick and easy to change out. Plus, the handles on them are huge so shoes fitting will never be a worry. Just have a scale nearby to verify you’re at the weight you want until you know your desired setups by heart. Given that 90% of the time I’m literally standing on top of them, I didn’t want to break the bank.
Overall, saved over $300+ versus having gone the Rep route, and I can go heavier.
Also KBKs have better fit and finish, and come with the coveted tool. I don’t regret my choice at all though.
Thanks Coop and GGR for the great work as always!
I bought the rep adjustable KB on a whim when I bought weights from them. It has been absolutely perfect and has motivated a lot more KB work
Look for Unsafe plastic lever inside
@@jessicavotran more details please!
Bought the Titan adjustable KB (the budget option) at the beginning of Covid. Slightly disagree with Coop here.. I gotta say I’ve gotten a lot use out of it and didn’t find it to take more than a few seconds to change the weight. Pretty easy math to figure out the weight.. each plate weighs 5 pounds. I would highly recommend numbering the plates with a Sharpie so you know what order they should be in. For the price it’s a solid option
Are you able to do snatches, clean and press and Turkish get ups with the titan adjustable kettlebell?
Does it cut into the wrist when you lift it over head after removing a few weights?
@@Brindapr Yes, it keeps the shell the same size, the weights are internal. So with this one you always have the same shape and competition kettlebells are perfect for all of these foundational movements.
@@vaishnue no, as it keeps the same shape, the weights are internal, so the outside shell is always the same shape and size.
You missed the Hyperbell kettlebell handle from Jayflex fitness. It has a multi-positional handle that holds up to a 100 lbs dumbbell, which makes it superior to the Kettlegryp, which does not have a multi-positional handle and is supposed to hold up to a 55 lbs dumbbell. The Hyperbell kettlebell handle currently costs $49 compared to $34.95 for the Kettlegryp.
Came to say the same thing. I have the Hyperbell and it’s pretty legit! It’s a lot more bulky than traditional kettlebells but that’s to be expected as it’s just a multi position kettle grip for dumbbells. I do recommend it though. Same w the other Jayflex dumbbell accessories.
Thanks Coop! I actually started with the "Vers-A-Bell" which was a budget friendly option for me at the time. It uses a pin adjustment system versus a dial. The weight range is 16-36lbs in 4lb increments. The shell is hard plastic (which I was nervous of at first) but they have held up over 2 years of pretty frequent use and abuse. Once I realized I needed more than 36lbs I opted for the Titan Competition adjustable kettlebell and agree, changing the weight is a pain, but I primarily use it in the 24kg configuration so I'm not changing it all that often (but can if I want to ramp up to the full 32kg or down). I got the Titan on a super sale for under $200 so I couldn't pass it up, but I think I may look into the REP Fitness adjustables you reviewed so I can have a pair of those versus buying another Titan adjustable. Thanks for the great review and go check out the Vers-A-Bell for another budget adjustable kettlebell option.
Excellent review. Tried the Powerblocks and Bowflex but wanted to see how the Rep compares and this video showed how it works perfect. Thank you.
Excellent review. Thank you for doing it.
I love my ironmaster kettlebell. I was fortunate enough to find it and a couple hundred pounds of weight for $150 at a thrift store.
Wow
I spent weeks reading random reviews about adjustable kettlebells piecing them together trying to get a recommendation 1/10 as good as GGR. I bought them last week and today a video comes out…..I went with Rep because I’ve loved all their equipment and couldn’t be happier. They look and feel like a normal kettlebell. They’re a little bigger than the weight would indicate, but not significant. Easy to adjust. Simple setup. I love them.
Your channel by far is my go to for home gym equipment I am interested in. Thank you for doing these and many other awesome reviews!
Awesome review as always!!!
was looking to get those Rep adjustable KB back in 2020, but it was always out of stock, so i ended up picking up a 35lb and 53lb one from bestbuy of all places. its been good enough for my use so far.
I love your energy dude. Keep it up!
You guys should review different company's ecosystems!
Examples:
-Ironmaster's adjustable dumbbell/kettlebell/curlbar system
-Powerblock's Pro adjustable dumbbell/kettlebell/curlbar system.
Keep up the great work, bros!
Do you have one of them?
I'd add the Pepin FAST series adjustable dumbbell and kettlebell to this too as it should be out this year
Great review! Thanks for the tips 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Excellent review, as always.
I have adjustable dumbbells (Core Home Fitness...very similar to the Nuobells) and bought 2 Kettle Gryps which fit well on these. I have super limited space and its great to be able to do kettlebell exercises without needing a bunch more room or equipment.
I’m rocking the IronMaster’s adjustable KB. This is due in fact to the review Coop did on their DBs. I love the fact I can use the same weight plates for DBs and my KB. It isn’t the fastest but it takes a beating!
I've been wanting a system where the weights are interchangeable. This combo looks perfect.
@joshj867 you get them? I love mine
I have the Ironmaster and I love them 🤩🤩🤩
Gotta get me some
Thanks Coop! I think you’ve sold me on the Rep one! I have a kettlebell set, but we do road trips and the Rep one would be easier to take with me!
HELPFUL TIP: I have one of “budget style” ones he was saying suck at the end.
It doesn’t suck at all, you just have to be a little smart. Here’s how you solve the 2 problems he was whining about in 2 minutes.
1. Which Plate?
He said you have to remember which plate you took out. Here’s the simple 30 second fix.
Take a sharpie, number each plate 1 through 6. I put 1 on top, then 2, and so on. Problem INSTANTLY solved.
Should the manufacturer do that? Of course, but it is SUPER easy to fix.
2. How much weight?
He said you don’t know how much each plate weighs. Same thing, weigh each plate, mark each plate with a sharpie.
Note: To make them look better, instead of a sharpie, you can use a label maker. My first one I did with a sharpie, it worked.
Next one I bought I used a label maker and it looks much better than my handwriting.
As great as his reviews are, these were dumb reasons to say they suck. They don’t. Sometimes minor tweaks can solve simple problems, you just have to use that all important muscle… your brain 💪🧠
I bought that white and red kettlebell from a lady and she had the weights marked with a sharpie lol. Also, each plate weighs 5 pounds so just subtract whatever amount from 40lbs. Not that hard lol
I went Kettlebell Kings (about $28 more than Titan after tax and free shipping) because black color fits my environment better (middle of living area). Competition style is more durable, and without a powder coat you can refinish the handle to get whatever grip you desire. Adjustments can be annoying if frequent though, and a 12 kg minimum weight might be too high for some users. On the plus side, the Kettlebell Kings/Titan max of 32 kg is higher than options like Rep's 24 kg max.
Compared to dumbbells... Kettlebell Kings competition adjustable (or Titan) is like the Ironmaster concept, to me. True form factor, adjustable without gimmicky things like plastic or nylon parts spinning inside that may or may not last. Reps light adjustable option might be a good supplement to Kettlebell Kings adjustable competition to cover lighter weights.
i still think the best method for weight changing equipment is to have mercury inside them and u ajust the tank level
I have both the Titan and the KBK comp bells. They are great. The KBKs is definitely a better quality. They give you more options in weight (even odd numbers that don't exist anywhere) and they fit great since they are competition shape/size.
@@cucciafr68 good info to know - I hadn't looked into increments and assumed other than branding they were the same product. Always disliked how Kettlebell Kings doesn't even brand their offering - that especially makes it feel generic.
@@DampRaccoon The branding never crossed my mind. I guess to me they are the only ones with that style in that color. And all my other bells the branding doesn't really stand it all that much.
@@cucciafr68 It's not that I want branding, but not having it really whereas their other products do just make the product seem even more generic or something - like they don't want to be associated with it. But more likely, unlike Titan, their logo is round. Titan's is more horizontal so they can get it lower near the center of the kettlebell where Kings can't without going over the split (and going over would look bad, cause alignment issues, etc.) so I guess I'm good with it now that I've thought it through.
Hey Coop, just purchased the Rep Adjustable Kettlebells (20-40lb) this evening based on your review. On Amazon the Bowflex version is running on sale (as of 4 Nov 22) for $120! But based on it's handle shape and your thoughts I went with Rep. Excited for these to come in. Thanks for the advice!
Nice roundup Coop. Only three come to mind that weren't included but they're real oldies and I'm not sure most folks would even be interested. Those would be the Kettlestack, the old Ivanko "kettle bell" handle along with variants of it from other companies, and finally one that Ironmind used to offer. These were all standard plate loadable handle variants. As far as modern and fancy goes though I do believe you got it covered.
Edit: two more just came to mind. They would be Iron Woody's version of the Kettlestack called the Kettle Grip, and their KettleShell. Those two I'm positive are still available.
Would love to see an updated adjustable kettlebell video
I was waiting on this one! I definitely agree that an adjustable kettlebell has to function equally as a normal kettlebell. My question is how durable are these? I know with adjustable dumbbells it’s an absolute that you can’t drop them, but for kettlebells that seems like a hindrance considering a lot of the movements are more dynamic and potentially damaging. I personally throw my kettlebells around like a sack of potatoes lol
Another good review - thanks. As an Ironmaster fanboy I was interested to hear your thoughts about the IM kettlebell. As you say, it offers advantages if you already have the dumbbell system.
Stumbled upon the REP adjustable KB about two years ago and haven't looked back. I bought two and they've held up great. Perfect for my small garage gym. I'm gonna go use them right now...
Just got done using mine. Their most underrated product IMO.
@Garage Gym Reviews I'm surprised you all didn't review them in the past. I couldn't find any info on them when I was first interested in purchasing them. Just took a leap of faith and bought them. Really glad I did.
Nice review Coop! The only exercise I have ever added to my programming is heavy swings. I have the Mike Bartos Power Pin and love that I can progressively overload up to 200lb with my existing plates.
Via their site, the "MBPC Power Pin allows you to swing from 15-200lbs (using 25’s)" - so to achieve that weight you'd want to have 8x25s on hand which I'd imagine many don't. Also, can't use with the size of bumpers, and need iron (as most here probably use anyway). Just noting my observations because I was intrigued at first - seems like an otherwise great product for any psychos swinging 200 lbs.
@@DampRaccoon Yup, I have a bunch of metal 25s I have acquired over the years and use them on my different stations, so pulling them together and setting it up for swings works for me, but definitely not for everyone!
Thanks for this so much! I have a very small area to move around and I'll go w/ adjustable kettlebell first vs adjustable dumbbells just because there's less space taken overall.
Old guy here--mid 70s. My whole adult life has been cardio focused (marathons, triathlons, and now just long distance swimming). HOWEVER. Old guys lose muscle mass, and I really noticed it. I started personal training recently to get some muscle mass back--or at least stabilize the loss. My trainer is a kettlebell fan, and so I decided to get an adjustable. Where to go?? I stumbled upon your excellent reviews, and even though my brand bias was bowflex (I have the dumbells) I was still unsure. Well, your review changed that--I decided to go with REP and ordered from their site. My kettlebell arrived today, and I couldn't be happier!! My neigbors must have wondered what I was swinging around my front door! I don't need the heavier one--but this 40 pounder will sit by my bed for spontaneous workouts! Thanks for saving me from Titan!
*By functional I mean you can comfortably swing or carry it **bestgym.equipment** around as one would expect of a kettlebell weight. By versatile I mean the protective coating does not prevent attaching magnetic micro-plates to increase the weight, so, for example, a 35 pound kettlebell can be increased by up to 5 pounds in weight or possibly a bit more by attaching magnetic micro-plates.*
Great review
I own the cheap Titan kettlebell design and I agree with what Coop says. I initially bought it for the price but the hassle of changing the weights and remembering which plate goes first is a pain. Additionally, the design can dig into your skin when doing snatches at a reduced weight. I think it's time to replace them for the REP ones
The price caught my eye as well, but it just isn’t quite there. Thanks for the feedback!
Easily fixed by using a sharpie to number the plates!
My 2 REP Adjustable Kettle bells (40lb) arrived today. Perfect for my tiny ass apartment. It's like having 10 kettle bells total. Thanks so much for this video because I was initially going to get the Bowflex ones from Target.
How are those kettle bells? Are they actually decent? 🧐
It would have been nice to touch upon the weight distribution on these. I think ideally you'd want the weight as close to handle as possible, which is where ones like the rogue one fall down. I suspect they're just about all bottom heavy, except maybe the specialist powerblock ones.
My brother bought me a kettle grip for my birthday last year after I asked him for a kettlebell, initially I thought he just cheaped out on me but since then I have been very impressed by its versatility and durability
I will vouch 100% for the Titan competition bells. The geometry of the globe and handles are the perfect competition shape, and there is no way to beat the value. You would spend upwards of $1,700+ to get a bell in each weight. Don’t let this review sway you away from one of these bells…they are worth every penny.
Is that the Kettlebell Kings one?
Excellent video🙌🏻, I will recommend it to each of my customers before making a purchase decision🤟🏻🏆💪🏽
The camera and production quality is insane!
Your rep fitness are also called klarfit in the United Kingdo. I've had one for 2 years no problems
Garage Coop….nicely done
I started my kettlebell journey waaaay back with a kettlestack. It served me well…
Thanks, Coop. I just picked up the Nüobell adjustable dumbbells and picked up the orange kettlebell grip you have in the video. It works, but I have to fight it to grip and lock onto the thicker handle of the Nüobell.
This is what I was wondering about, as I also have a pair of adjustable dumbbells.
Can't wait for Nuobell's take on an adjustable kettlebell
The da can do eyes yet e a da y
Stamina 36 lb Adjustable Kettle Versa-Bell. This kettlebell for it's weight and price I have found to be the best adjustable, it give you the exact feel of a regular kettlebell and the adjustable weight are pretty easy and seamless
Thank you.
I used to train with ‘real cast iron’ kettlebells years ago. I recently bought the Bowflex kettlebell. It’s a good compromise. The main drawback I find however is in the shape and the angular adjustment knob on the top I find when I use the bell in the rack position to press it digs into the side of my bicep so much so that it’s been bruising my arm, so tend not to do the rack to press.
If the bell was more rounded and had less edges it could be better. Also the handle is a bit thin and can get quite slippery especially when sweaty. Thanks for the reviews.
Well done
Please please review the Bells of steel adjustable kettle bell 2.0
I have the bowflex and the only knock is the 40lb max. But I use them 6days a week and absolutely love them.
I got kettle gryp (from the non-recommended examples) since I only do dumbell weight excercises at home and I use kettlebell for deadlifts and swings, I think it works well for my situation.
Still running Ironmaster and Ironmaster Kettlebells. Still in as good as shape the day I bought them 12 years ago and the ironmaster dumbellls that I bought over 15+ years ago are also as good as new. I haven't seen any adjustable kettlebell or Adjustable dumbbells that have this type of durability.
I thought to myself, “wonder if anyone created a adjustable kettlebell video; No way.” Here I am. Great video! ❤
Coop I have the adjustable handle from Jayflex and it’s fantastic. It can rotate unlike the kettlegrip. I’ve done swings with dumbbells as heavy as 60 lbs with no issues. I think it should definitely be in this review. Maybe next time?
My biggest gripe is that it’s all plastic. The handle feels very cheap without weight on it, however, it hasn’t broken yet.
I would love to see a premium version with metal parts and a heavier handle.
Update?
Great now it will be even harder to get an IM kettlebell. But really thanks for the review!
I use one of the cheap ones you mentioned at the end. The biggest downside comes when doing overhead work. If you don't keep the top plate on the plastic lips digs in to your arm. It also puts your wrist in an awkward position that is uncomfortable. If you leave the top plate on the issue is mitigated quite a bit.
The one I have has the weight in lbs and kg on the plate. The plate also has a number for the shelf position. So, a quick look at the plate and a bit of math make adjustments easy.
Also I weighed it fully loaded and found it was only .3 pounds off from the stated weight. So, it is accurate to 1%.
They aren't perfect, but more than usable for someone looking to see if they want to add kettlebells to their training. After a month mine is still working as intended.
I picked up my Titan Fitness adjustable kb over a year ago for $199 plus tax. Yeah the adjustment is kind of annoying. The fit isnt great and the finish isn't perfect...buy the handle is smooth!
Kettlebells also get dropped, used outside, clanged together (they all will chip around the middle if you do any dual kb stuff)
Sure the KB Kings one is nicer at $299, and Titan raised theirs to $235 so the price gap isn't as dramatic, but being able to go from 12kg to 32kg in one product is such a great deal.
Titan doesn't mark the plates which weight or order to load. If this bothers you, just put masking tape on and write the weight on that. Or use white out and mark the plates.
In theory you could load smaller fractional plates inside if you wanted less than 1kg jumps.
I'd rather get the most out of my fitness equipment not have it be the prettiest
I have the Titan as well, it's great
I got the fitness gear one. It is supposed to be 20-50lbs. but the 2.5 lb plates are the less restrictive because of protruding from the sides and it limits the range to 20-35lb.
Adjustable kettlebells great space saver,right behind adjustable dumbbells
6:06 wow !!! I'm impressed dumbell to kettlebell, here take my money.💵
No Mark Wildman model by Bells of Steel. Shameful!. It's the best on the market due to level of adjustable options. Can't believe you knocked the Titan it's robust and solid. Why need to change weight so quick?
I like the rep fitness db, I may get these.
Wish you had a bit more info on that new loadable Titan Kettle bell handle. It looks pretty interesting.
Very good job👍👍👍🇨🇵
only thing i would have liked to hear about is the engineering behind the recommended kettlebells. biggest fear with adjustable dumbbells and kettlebells, is swinging overhead and having weights coming loose and cracking me in the head. looked at reviews of individual items, but really hard to get a good picture of the design comparisons to know which ones seem the safest.
Any chance you want to get rid of the extra ones you have? In the STL area! Love the content!
Powerblock should have decided the focus would be swings, squat/deadlift variations, walks/etc. and placed the handle the other way as Sir Coop suggested. Their standalone adjustable block could then fill in for overhead stuff for those that want it. I'd rather have something be really good at a couple of things vs. medicore at everything.
Thanks for the review! Can you also take a look at the Jayflex Hyperbell Kettlebell handle and the StrengthTools Kettlebell handle? I think both have a ton of potential.
Yep, will pick up both!
Also wondering if Rep Adjustable KB would work with Jayflex Hyperbell BAR. Would be great to see youth review. Thanks for all you do!
I've been using an Apex adjustable kettlebell for ten years. When I bought my first one, it was under the "SPRI" label. They're very inexpensive at Walmart (online), they're simple and robust. It uses 1" hole "Standard " plates (not included). Its specified load range is 20 pounds to 50 pounds, but I've regularly had it up to 24kg ("53" pounds) with no problem. I got a second one about 4 years ago. I like its window and handle better than the window and handle on my high quality competition style bell.
Would have liked to see Coop's opinion of Apex adjustable kettlebell with the spacer plates.
I got both of the powerblock adjustable kettlebells as soon as they released and I like them. The smaller's handle is a bit too narrow so I cant comfortably fit my pinkies in when I have 2 hands in the handle. Aside from that I love them. I don't find the limited adjustment that big a deal, I wouldn't use any of the in between weights anyways. Also I don't have any hangup about the sticker, it seems like high quality vinyl.
It’s been a year since this post. How do you like them now? Would you recommend the Heavy? Don’t own a kettlebell but I do have the powerblock dumbbells and do most of my workouts with 45lb. Would it be reasonable to buy the Heavy over the smaller one if you can only afford one?
@@vgman94 I like the heavy more than the smaller one. I use the smaller one more, but that is probably more to do with what I'm using them for. I think there's probably some better value ones on the market that would suit you better (competition adjustables from various brands) but I still love mine.
This could not have come at a better time!
I have a Kettle Grip. Already have dumbell rack from 3 lbs to 100 lbs and did not want to get a set of kettlebells, For the price and space saving the Kettle Grip was good. Pretty durable for being plastic.
I think you hit all the important points when it comes to kettlebells. I don't like going adjustable because often times they either look weird/sit poorly in rack position or are really cumbersome to adjust. On top of that, durability is a concern. I know that when I buy a competition kettlebell that it's probably going to outlast me and many generations after me whereas with most adjustable kettlebells I'm kinda wary.
From what I've seen, the Rep bells are the best, but at that price point you can get yourself some nice hollow 16kg and 24kg bells. If you really need the 18 and 20kg (I'd say most people don't), then it's a good pick, but plastic always breaks at some point no matter how well you treat it.
I'd just recommend a 16kg, 24kg and 28/32kg set if you want to have kettlebells you'll use all your life, go up/down 4~6kg depending on how fit you are when starting out. With those 3 you'll probably spend around $300 to have something that will last you a lifetime.
Coop! Is there any chance you are planning to review the newer style CAP adjustable dumbells? At first glance they seem pretty good for the price apart from the 50 lb limit. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
I have both sizes of the Rocketlok Adjustable Kettlebells. They are decently nice, but definitely not amazing. The cap to hold the weight is plastic and sometimes hard to take off. The coating has chipped off in a few places over the 4 or so years I have had them. But they are a normal kettlebell shape on one side and are very sturdy and durable so far. Not sure how easy they are to buy but I got mine off FB Marketplace.
Hey coop ! You just forgot to buy Jaxjox kettlebell ;)
Love what you share ! 💪🏼
Love u coop
Second btw
Would be great to hear your thoughts on the FAST Pepin kettlebell handle to go with their adjustable dumbbells, as it seems this is getting closer to hitting the market
My problem with people that always want to save on space. { thats why you always see the treadmill in the corner of the room facing the wall with boxes on them}. I say have it front and center.....if its there in your face you will in fact use it alot. How many times have you used what is in the corner of that cold dark closet? lol another well done video Coop!
I’ve had the KBK for about 5 years. First thing I pack every road trip.
Any chance you guys will be doing a review/comparison of the various multi grip specialty bars on the market? I know you reviewed the Kabuki, but need some options!
I workout with Kettlebellking adjustable competition bells as they exactly the size of all other their competition bells and they are best for me to swing and lift.
I’ve been waiting for this forever! I was really close to buying the rep, but couldn’t pull the trigger with so little info on a newish product.
Mostly I just want a single adjustable to do double kb stuff with my Rogue 35 and 53 lbs without buying 2 more kbs just for that. Having a 44 lb option for presses will be extra bonus. 53 is still a little heavy for high rep pressing
Thanks for the video Coop , the ‘rep kettlebell’ and the ‘kettlebell kings kettlebell’, are just mass produced in China an re branded , same as the others. The only innovation I saw is the jaxjox, iron master and the powerblock kettleblock.
Personally I’m planning to buy the powerblock Ecosystem, the Ez bar + powerblock exp pro + the kettleblock. Just seems to be more easy to change.
I purchased the rogue loadable kettle
bell (as I love their loadable dumbbell design) and I agree that it is very poorly designed. Not only does it feel uncomfortable when doing TGU or presses, but you cannot put a collar on it as they made the sleeve too slim. This is a bizarre choice as they frequently market it with collars on it on their website. I ended up just biting the bullet and purchasing a set of 16, 24, and 32kg kettlebells off of kettlebell kings. It sucks that I can’t use the weights I already have, but the difference is night and day. the Rogue handle has since been demoted to things like rows, Carrie’
S, and side bends.
For most kettlebell routines, you don't increase the weight across sets unlike dumbbells or barbells so you don't need a ton of quick adjustability. On the other hand, you need a good handle that fits a 45-degree handle comfortably without any adjustments/protrusions getting in the way. Those are the 2 aspects you need to consider.
What do you recommend
@@oscarmart1 Mark Wildman's adjustable KBs. Very high quality, durable and you can add weights in 0.5kg increments (which is surprisingly rare in the KB world).
Would love to see the Pepin dumbbells and kettlebell attachment (when it's released) vs IM dumbbells and kettlebell attachment? Would be so so helpful for those wanting one ecosystem and adjustable durable versions of both
Coop, can you please test if the Kettle gryp works with the Nuobell? Thanks man
In Canada right now the MSRP on the rep adjustable is closet to $550; at that price the bowflex is just a no brainer
I have two IronMaster kettlebells since I already have the dumbbells.
I really wish I knew about those REP ones before I bought by kettlebells. That would have been a huge space and money saver. Then I could have purchased some individual heavy ones to round out my set. That said, everything outside of the REP ones don't seem like a good option. I wouldn't buy anything else.
Thanks
before I finished watching, I just wanna say why I picked the Powerblock on black friday: the smoothed out outer geometry seemed the best for turkish getups, and a pin system seems a lot less likely to break than a knob.
How are they for kettlebell halos and wrist exercises? Looking for something (I’m considering either a kettlebell, steel mace or steel club) for those purposes. My wrist/forearms need strengthening for certain movements and the halo (shield cast for mace swings) is crucial for my back/shoulder mobility. Any experience on that?
@@vgman94 pretty decent so far, it's good for turkish getups, halos, and swings (going to want to do one armed since it'd be bad for shoulders if two). It is light for it's price, but feels high quality.
I can't speak for what exercises are best as my peak was weighing 142lb and 1repMax dead lift 335lb. Currently weigh 120(?)lb and just maintaining, works for me
@@vgman94 and for lower arm strength, might want to start with calisthenics first, plank and pushup in various ways including on your finger tips, maybe rolling dumb/barbell palm up and palm down, grip and ungrip in rice, etc.
@@borregoayudando1481 what weight did you get? The smaller 35lb kettlebell? And just so I’m sure, you mean the classic kettlebell swing movement where you swing the bell between your legs and thrust it forward & upward with a good hip thrust to aid the motion, correct?
Thanks for clarifying on the halos. That’s a good point in moving me toward getting it.
@@vgman94 yeah, the 18-35lb. And yep, look up: Mark Wildman, Lebe Stark, Joe Daniel's and Kat's Kettlebell Dojo, Dan John's armor building
just pulled those names out of my notes
I like about the better Powerblock KB that it looks very simple with a solid steel rod holding the plates. I don't trust dumbbells with plastic wheels and I surely don't trust KBs with that system. Dynamic overhead movements with KBs require more safety than that.
Have you reviewed the Nordic track Iselect adjustable dumbbell that connects to alexa. that may be a fun one to review Coop!
