(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vSQ7xp-Qgk) The best value kettlebell is one that delivers top quality for a price most can afford. These KBs from REP are exceptional and will beat up your muscles without putting a hurting on your wallet. In other words, you might want a heavy bell for all your lower body training needs. That said, if you want to also be able to get some solid upper body lifting in with your kettlebell, make sure you’re taking that into account. It’s a balancing act that will require some deep contemplation and programming creativity , but it’ll be worth it in the end. What makes a quality kettlebell? Additionally, we looked at a kettlebell’s coating, as this, like the casting process, can be a signal for long-term durability. A great coating can provide a better grip and will be chip-resistant. Accounting for factors like this helped us assess the potential life of a kettlebell, so you can be assured your money will go the distance. Performance

These kettlebells are sold as singles, which isn’t ideal for kettlebell sport athletes or CrossFitters who want to practice bilateral movements.

We like that the bottom of the weights has a protective rubber coating for your floors, which also prevents it from moving around or sliding. While this bell is bulletproof on the outside, you still shouldn’t drop or slam this around, because the weights rest on a plastic fastener (just like many adjustable dumbbells) which can break pretty easily if not treated with care. REP does offer a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects, but that doesn’t cover accidental damage. Lastly, a quality kettlebell has a flat bottom finish and is void of seams and other signs of construction imperfections. You might not immediately associate kettlebells with muscle growth , but don’t underestimate these bad boys as tools for hypertrophy. To maximize hypertrophy with kettlebells , you’ll mainly want to emphasize the traditional types of lifts in the classic hypertrophy rep ranges (eight to 12 per set). Think strict presses, offset kettlebell push-ups, rows, and even curls and skull crushers if you have a light enough bell. Are kettlebells better for cardio or weight training? Kettlebell Kings uses a refined powder coating process to achieve a high-quality finish that lasts for years.

Equipment: k ettlebell (If you’re new to kettlebell workouts, go for 4 kg to 12 kg. If that feels too easy and your form is perfect, try going up in weight by 2 to 4 kg.) Lastly, we assessed a kettlebell’s value. Let’s not beat around the bush here: investing in your own home gym equipment is a pretty big deal, and you obviously want the most for your money. By taking the above two characteristics into account and comparing them with price, we tried to identify the benefits of each kettlebell for the money you’d be putting into them. How Much Do Kettlebells Cost? The non-competition weight kettlebells in this lineup (the four, six, eight, and 34 to 46kg bells) don’t meet international standards, though they are very close.

The Kettlebell: Improved

Squats: Start off with a simple one – squat as you usually would while holding one bell close to your chest with both hands. Instructions: Choose five moves below. Then, do 15 reps each, for as many rounds as possible ( AMRAP) in 10 minutes. These kettlebells were designed to hold chalk well with their textured powder coating, and that’s exactly what you need as a CrossFitter. And because Again Faster Team Kettlebells have color-coded handles, you’ll always know exactly what weight you’re scooping up so you don’t lose precious seconds looking all over for the RX weight. The weight depends on your current ability, accessibility, and strength. “​​In general, I recommend women begin with an 8 kg kettlebell, which is both light enough to challenge the shoulders and arms, yet heavy enough to improve core and lower body strength,” says Koziol. If this feels easy and/or you master the form and are comfortable in the movement, try going up in weight by 2 to 4 kg. If you’re experienced, start with a 14 to 15 kg kettlebell, and go up from there.
