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

nothing ya need. Unless you want to make your vag tighter.

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

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 sometimes do front or side raises with them when I get bored with dumbbells.

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.

They suck

Vince B · « **Reply #21 on:** June 21, 2015, 06:47:37 PM »

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.

syntaxmachine · « **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2015, 07:42:17 PM »

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