Anybody know where I can get some Kettlebells...cheap? It seems that Dragondoor.com rules the market, but they are a bit pricey. Gill Athletics sells them from their Power Max division, which are more reasonible. Any body use them? What do you think? Where did you get them? |

"Kettlebells" and "cheap" don't really go in the same sentence, unless
the word "not" is included. Back in the day, when casting was
still a common art, a kettlebell wouldn't cost more than a DB.
We're a much more advanced society now, so we can't get half of the
things we used to take for granted. -Wayne ------------- "We may be small, but we're slow." - MIT Rugby |

| Last I checked, all kettlebells from Gill Athletics were out of stock and had been that way for several weeks. I wonder when they will get a shipment in. |

Find a welder, have him cut a 6 inch pipe to your desired size, weld ends and handles on it cut a hole in one end to load it. weld 2 nuts on the inside and a cover with two screws to hold it in place.

Our kettlebells are THE best you can buy in the US. We are much less expensive than most companies out there. [http://www.k2fitness.net] I've also heard some complaints about the way the Gill Athletic KBs are constructed. Something about the handle length and the feel verses ours, Dragondoor's, and Max KB I use them (but I'm a 2nd year mid A class Am) and my BIG arse buddy Mike Nease uses our KBs. I mostly do hang snatches with them, and add a ring handle for "over-weight" HG event training (e.g. WOB, WFD). Doing higher rep swings, swing snatches, and double KB snatches are great for conditioning and off day GPP. ------------- The Road To Success Runs Uphill http://www.K2Fitness.net - K2Fitness |

| I just bought a loadable version for 1" plates from New York Barbell. They seem really well made and only $29 each. I haven't thrown it yet, but we'll see how they last. |
