That was the direction I was heading in, it's just... I love single bell work, I love the simplicity and the carry-over to everyday stuff. I never thought I'd want to have a single heavy bell at all, but most days I try something with my 32 and think, "I wish you were heavier". I figured if I did want to double I could just use offset weights with the set I have.
It all depends on your goals.
I use double KB work as a substitute for barbell work in the winter off season.
And barbells are loaded symmetrically.
When I want to focus on unilateral training, I'll use a single bell.
But I also don't do swings anymore except as a warm up, as they don't really drive any adaptations I need.
