Has anyone ever made any mods to a kettlebell ?
I'm at the stage where I can press my 40kg bell with either hand, so I've been looking into getting a bell the next size up which would be 44kg or possibly even just go straight to a 48kg.
Looking on ebay here in OZ it seems there are not as many options as there were a while ago and to buy one and get it shipped to a country area will now cost an arm and a leg. We have other things that we need to spend money on over the next few months, so to get one it will be a bit of a stretch at the moment.
I'm toying with the idea of getting the smallest size competition bell I can find and fitting something akin to a recessed sump plug to the bottom and turning it into a shot loaded bell. I found a dinky little pink one which is 4kg on ebay, some other pink ones were 8kg. I could purchase any of them and have them delivered for about $60.
Does anyone know what the competition bells are loaded with ?
My 32 kg competition bell has a bit of a rattle so it seems to be loaded with something. I also wondering just how much lead I could stuff into a mostly hollow 4kg bell. I might be able to get it up over 50kg.
