Highly Recommend Because...
This is one of 3 kettlebells that I own and I highly recommend it because... #1 HANDLE WIDTH: everyone wants to know the width of the handle, many of the Kettlebells I have used require me to keep my pinkies out of the handle because they simply will not fit, with this handle I do not have that problem, thus I am able to use all of my fingers which is extremely helpful when doing two handed movements like the KB Swing. #2 HANDLE TEXTURE: many people have said their KB was cutting them up or something... well either the company is getting better at making them or I was a fluke because my KB is perfect, it in no way hurts my hands. I read the reviews thus I expected some kind of imperfection that I'd have to fill in with silly putty, but to my surprise the handle is quite comfortable and I can leave the silly putty for the children. #3 THE WEIGHT: speaking of the weight, my scale says 50.1 but hey... I am no sissy, so I say "bring it on you extra tenth of a pound!" but seriously the 50 Pound weight works well for my cleans, all my swings and ground to overhead movements, it's also perfect for turkish get-ups, one legged dead-lifts and a few others. #4 THE PRICE: this is a great KB for the very best price I have found anywhere. I cannot speak more highly of this KB, regardless of the great deal I got, but when you factor that in... it gets a hell of a lot better! It's a great value and a great KB #5 THE SMELL: yes what others have said is true, it does smell... it smells brand new!! I don't mind that, nor do I think that it is a problem at all for new stuff to smell new. #6 FINALLY, THE RENEGADE ROW QUESTION: is the bottom level? My answer, "It's Level Enough!" (if you are having trouble doing renegade rows on kettlebells, here's an idea... use hexagonal dumbbells you dumbbell!) NOW I HAVE A RENEGADE ROW QUESTION FOR YOU: Isn't the whole purpose, for those of you using 2 kettlebells (OF THE SAME WEIGHT) for renegade rows, to make it more challenging both in the depth of the push up and the constant use of your stabilizer muscles? But seriously the bottom of my bell actually sits perfectly level on the mats and the carpet at the gym; THUS if (for some reason) I bought a second 50 pound KB, then the surfaces I would do renegade rows on would be perfectly stable, BUT BUT BUT to appease those weirdos who keep bashing this bell I will, in the interest of full disclosure, say that when I put the bell on something that is unforgiving like a CEMENT driveway, it would actually wobble slightly, but nothing my manly muscles couldn't handle. (but then again... who does renegade rows on the cement?!) I hope this honest Review of the product was helpful for you potential KB buyers! GOOD LUCK!
