Enamel Coated Cast Iron Kettlebell

I am not sure what the other use cases for 2 60 lb. kettlebells are; I am in a position where repetitive lifting is just not a thing, but I was completely unwilling to give up on strength training. So I use these for loaded carries of various kinds, and they are great. I am sure they would be great for whatever kinds of things you might want to do with a couple kettlebells, the castings are pretty smooth, the paint is even and they grip well, and they were the most reasonable price I could find for anything above 40 lbs.I did kinda feel bad for the delivery guy though.

Good job Amazon! for shipping a (my first) 35# kettlebell internal box, wrapping, nylon strap, external box was a little lose, tape ripped a little, but my KB arrived in perfect condition.I was a bit nervous, given the previous quality issues reported by other CAP buyers. This one is in great condition, no damage, good finish, nice flat bottom. I love swinging KBs, I have made great progress with strength & conditioning. I DO NOT recommend the vinyl/concrete KBs by CAP, (15-20# KBs)they are toys and are way too big and have handle problems. I sent those back. Buy the cast iron ones only!Before purchasing I sent a message to CAP asking about the handle/horn size, handle dia. is 1.5" (approx) and horn width is 7-3/4"any bigger might be too big for my hands. The size is very well proportioned and well balanced.Recommended!UPDATE 8/1/12 2nd orderToday, just received my 2 20# KBs, also iron by CAP. I put them through the paces! These are perfect weight for double-KB routines. Note, these also have big handles, about 1-1/2" in diameter. I like them for the challenging grip, smaller hands may not. These get slick when I start sweating, so I put some chalk on my hands between rounds. Product quality was good, finish good, packaging double-boxed, product box was strapped, lots of paper stuffing, my KBs arrived in perfect condition, thanks!UPDATE 8/29/12 MOAR Kettlebells Pleeezzz!Yesterday, I got my 4th KB, this one 25 lbs. See! I'm getting stronger, these really work! I swing 6 days/wk, never sore, always a great workout. 1-hand, 2-hand swing, snatch, clean, press, jerk, long cycle, windmill, Turkish get-up, bent press, various rows, floor presses, squats, deadlifts, lunges. Full body workout. Still very pleased with CAP quality and happy with my decision to collect this brand.I recommend this as the best book on kettlebell exercises:  Kettlebell Rx: The Complete Guide for Athletes and Coaches Update: 9/30/12 I think I have enough... for now!I just purchased a 45 lb and a 30 lb, the UPS dude thought he was a tough guy, stacked 30 on top of the 45 but then the 30 tumbled to the ground, busted through the box and got damaged. Got replacement a week later. I thread a small towel through the handles of the bigger KBs and dead lift them that way. more resistance. Love KBs! FYI, the bigger the KB, the greater the variation in quality. As they get bigger, the finishing on the bottom and paint quality diminish. the 45 lb has a rough & rather uneven bottom, but I use them on a towel on a rug in the basement, so no worries. I'm starting to practice KB juggling, have to do that in the park, where they can fall on the grass and not hurt anything. that's fun!Side Note: I have met online a lot of great KB swingers on Fitocracy dot com, of course it is a good site for all athletes and anyone into exercising.

I was a bit concerned that some reviewers reported receiving damaged kettlebells, but I went ahead and ordered a 25lb bell. It was beautiful...well packaged and undamaged. It was so beautiful, I immediately ordered a 35lb bell. Again, this one arrived undamaged. Amazon clearly has the best price along with free and rapid shipping. If you want a kettlebell, these are a really terrific deal. Five stars for quality to CAP and five stars to Amazon for price and delivery.Now I'm like the little dog who chased cars and one day caught one. What do I do with a kettlebell? I have watched several videos and read several books. All the strange, contorted kettlebell exercises I see are much better performed with the extensive set of dumbells I already have. To gain real strength you need the heavy weights you can put on a barbell. For variety and isolation, dumbbells are great. All the dumbbell exercises I see that have been adapted to kettlebells look really dumb. So what do I do with the kettlebells I bought? I do find the two-handed kettlebell swing useful. This would be more difficult with a dumbbell, and I don't have a T-handle to use weight plates. Besides, I don't like adjustable things. I like to just pick up a weight and go without fear that it might fall apart because I forgot to tighten something. I do find the kettlebell swing convenient. It is surprising how quickly this movement brings up the heart rate...nothing like my treadmill, but a good warmup before conventional weight training.Bottom line: These are excellent kettlebells. I think you cannot do better on quality and price. Before you leap though, think about your goals. If you want to get stronger, kettlebells are more hype and fad than a strength tool. I find that there are a few movements for which I find them useful, and I do not regret having them around. I very much recommend these kettlebells if you want a kettlebell, but I would not recommend kettlebells as a means to get stronger or build muscle. Good luck.

The UPS delivery man had a great workout unloading this 80 pounds beast on my doorstep. Keep in mind that 80 pounds is a lot of weight, so review the workouts where you can use it. It is... a minimalist list. Mainly Sumo Deadlifts and Suitcase Carry, which are great exercises for grip and strength. However, if you are looking for a kettlebell that you can do loads of routines with it, buy lighter. 20-30 pounds are more versatile.This being said: I have many CAP kettlebells and they are all fine products for the price you pay. This big fella earns 5 stars on the price/quality ratio. Great bell and delivered to my doorstep free via Prime was an easy buy.

Me encanta. No sé qué más puedo decir al respecto. Se siente de buen material, fue barata, es cómoda, y llegó al siguiente día. :)

Love my kettlebell. These CAP kettlebells are simple but well designed. The handle provides good grip and is perfect for accomodating different hand sizes. You can get different grips for different techniques. The weight is perfectly balanced, so they are effective and this also helps minimize the chance of injury.I like the black enamel coating, aesthetically and practically.I ordered the 45 lb for myself and the 15 lb for my wife. It's a good idea to start with a lower weight, and practice the techniques first. I would recommend trying one out at a gym or store, if you're not sure which weight to get for yourself.There are many techniques, which makes this little piece of equipment a lot of versatility in the different workouts you can perform, depending on which muscle groups you wish to focus on. There are quite a few workouts that work the whole body, such as the basic kettlebell throw (the first one I tried and still my favourite). There are DVDs, YouTube videos, apps (many of them free), which can help you learn different techniques in using the kettlebell.Weight training with a kettlebell can increase your strength, even when you use it for as little as 5-10 minutes a day. It's hard to find something that gives you better value for your money, in terms of building strength. There's a reason the old school Russian wrestlers to throw kettlebells around all day. I don't enjoy doing sets with weights, but kettlebells feel like you're exerting yourself in a more realistic way, so it seems to create a more practical strength (not just to look good).A good cardio workout can be achieved in a short time, using kettlebells, especially when performing the techniques which work the whole body.I can't say enough about working out with kettlebells, and I would recommend the CAP kettlebells to anyone.

Kettlebells are becoming like gold now. They are difficult to get and are going up in value. I was really happy to be able to get a decent bell at a good price. It took about 7 weeks to arrive but not worried. If they are available it's worth the wait. This one arrived well package with no scratches or damage and has a great finish. I really wish I ordered 2. This has been a great addition to our home gym and well worth the wait. I would order again no question.

Excelente producto para comenzar con hábitos sanos.El material es sólido y el agarre es perfecto para manos grandes y chicas, sin duda comprare un set de estas pesas.
