Just get an adjustable one. I do the odd kettlebell workout here and there. Shocks the body good.

They're a nice change of pace from always having a barbell or dumbbell in hand. I personally feel they better suit conditioning purposes than hypertrophy.

I connect them with crossfit, so I'm negative on them

I don't use them as I'm worried I'd whack myself in the head swinging it around!  Yeah...I am that uncoordinated.  ;D

Using one is a bit on the homoerotic side.

That's one of the only topics in the whole wild world I don't have an opinion about.

I once went on a romantic dinner date/walk on the beach with Tbombz and it still wasn't nearly as gay as the one time I did a "kettlebell" "workout".

i used to have a coach that had us train with them, doing Turkish get ups and all other sorts of gimmicky exercises. I'm not a fan. I found no unique benefit to them and found conventional olympic lifts and dumbbell work to be more useful.

Gayer than a Turkish getup my friend.

You do realize just how wronger that sounds, right?

Kettlebells are a gimmick. Period. The one good use for them is for extra weight on a chin or dip since they can be secured through the handle.

I have noted a 23% increase in my ability to pound out the vag subsequent a dedicated kettlebell thrusting program.

That is not a flattering stance for most women to stand in. Like when bending over naked, we all have fat that appears in places normally not really seen.

That's true, but most crossfit women have overtrained hips due to excessive core work like swings, deads & overhead movements

Just lift barbells and dumbbells.

Body by Jake, P90X, crossfit, 7 minute abs, Cybergenics, online pro hold em players, house flipping, mma, real estate licenses, Billy Blanks Tae Bo....it's all kettlebells.

They are slightly homosexual, true, but I like to use them occasionally. Here's mine

The big one is 40kg and it's a bear to do KB swings with it. I am even man enough to admit that I've done a Turkish Getup here and there.

No homo.
