That's the only one I've seen that I'd even come close to trusting for ballistics. Most of them seem like they'd be ok for grinds, maybe even clean and presses, but swings or snatches? No way I'd trust most of them, these look really solid, even though I'm not a fan of the comp style bells (something in my write geometry hurts like hell when I use any comp bell lying against the forearm (rack, TGUs, etc)).
What weight bells do you currently own?
One 12 of your liking should do.
Anyone used the Bowflex Adjustable Kettlebell? I've looked for reviews, but annoyingly, most of them turn out to be adverts by Bowflex themselves. Youtube need to get their act together.
This style is rock solid. There is no way it's coming apart. There is about a 1.5" nut holding the weights in place and a separate 5/8" machine screw holding the shell together. Even with a light amount of torque this thing is not coming apart! I've used them on both ballistic and overhead movements with no concerns at all!
I'd gladly give my right one if you think that might sweeten the pot for them?
I got this from Punch kettlebell when I bought my first bell years ago. It's a 4kg bolt on weight. I had my other brands drilled/tapped by a machinist to use it on all my bells. They also had a 2kg one that I didn't get. That way a 32kg can be a 36kg and a 40kg a 44kg etc. Had I gotten the 2kg weight I would of had even more combinations. I sure hope another KB manufacturer will end up making something similar. They might sell less bells but clients would be happy about having more versatility. Most people don't have all their bells with 2kg or 4kg increments at home anyway.
