Does anyone else on here own strengthshop powder coated bells. I have 6 2x24kg 2x28kg and 2x32kg I loved them in the beginning but now I'm not so sure. The 24kg and 32kg seem to have a poor clearance compared to 28kg. Not by much but enough to cause discomfort. The 28kgs feel amazing after using the others. I only have started questioning this feature after noticing discomfort in my inner elbows when locking out. Wrist is slightly cocked back not by much but not 100% straight. There must be others on here with these bells. Last thing I wanna do is shell out a fortune on a whole set of new bells when I was just about to purchase a pair of 36kgs.

I have 40 and 48 from strength shop, the window is definitely smaller than other bells and I find I have to work harder to keep a straight wrist
 
I have a 32 from them, and yes I agree, the handle is somewhat closer to the bell than all the others (all from Bad Company via Amazon)
 
I don't think their terrible, however if given a choice would probably opt for a wolverson or primal strength bell (the later being very like rogue).

You buying from strength shop or strength shop USA?
 
UK I usually collect from there warehouse in Scotland direct. Primal strength is in Scotland too but pricey
 
The height of the 36kg is 28cm same as the 32kg but the bell mass is a lot bigger therefore the handle window is even smaller than the 32kg. I might just jump straight to 40kg as its 29cm in height and keep the set of strength shop so there all matching OCD. I've never attempted a 40kg kettlebell but can press double 32s for 5. 35kg dumbbells for sets of 3 but I find dumbbells harder to press for some reason. My 25kg dumbbells aremore like my 28kg kettlebells. Would 5 reps of double 32kgs result in double 40kgs going up for a single?
 
Yes, I would buy it again (since I’m not doing competitions I don’t mind if bells are different dimensions)
