Just got mine, I love it. This is my first competition bell, I normally use hard-style bells. I like my hard style bells, but space is my issue. I have a crazy small studio apartment. 99% of the time I’m working out at my gym, or in the park. This adjustable bell is way easier to keep in my trunk, in lieu of 3 or 4 other bells like I used to do. If I did it all again, I’d buy just this and be set for probably years.
This might seem like a nitpick, but any plans on releasing this with the Kettlebell Kings branding on it to match the rest of your competition kettlebells?
I have 2 of the kettlebell king adjustable. They work great, the weight distribution doesn’t feel any different from a “normal” competition bell. Not really met for adjustments between sets. They allow for nice incremental increases in weight, huge savings compared to buying multiple bells to achieve the same incremental increases. Completely happy with my purchase.
Keith, thank you for making that post as you have answered what I really wanted to know about these kettlebells - did the weight distribution feel different? I have been debating about buying one of these for some time; I now feel more confident in doing so. Many thanks.
Micro loading kettlebells is a game changer. Means you can implement classic barbell programs if nothing else. Would be great for Muscle building with KB only I would imagine.
I use pipe couplers, I get the parts at Home Depot in the plumbing area, I got several and my neighbor cut those in haft, they are perfect to place between the weights inside the adjustable bell. Too both distribute the weights so they are balanced, but also serve to silent any rattling noise from the weights inside. The Kettlebellking adjustable competition bells were my best purchase at any price. I now have 18 kb in each bell and will toss a another weight in both bells in few months. This has been life changing for me. Truly!
Thanks for reviewing! I think this is going to be my next bell. Have cast-iron doubles of 16, 24, and 32, and this seems perfect for the in-between weights.
I have a couple of them (not kk brand) and I love them. The only "problem" is that if you want a specific weight you have to pay attention to the order of plate placement, otherwise they will rattle a bit due to the different sizes. And as others as said before the time spent on changing weight is good for focusing on the next exercise
I bought one, then Dremeled (light grinder) the extra material off the handle base. It simply there due to the casting method and removing the material doesn’t affect the integrity or weight at all. Took me 5 minutes. I also plasti dip my KBs after purchase. Simple thing to do . Get the product from Home depot, pour into a bucket, then simply dip your KBs ( or DBs ) into it and let dry. Provides a thin rubber coating that peels off if you want to remove it. Comes in different colors as well. I even did my olympic plates. BTW, bad place to set your Mantra beads! 🤣😎🤙
These are great and are excellent for transportability. I have doubles in quite a bit of different sizes and they come in handy when I want to do doubles for muscle mass. I'll probably get these to fill in the gaps in the single kettlebell weights.
All my KBs are 33 mm competition, except one 35mm from kettlebell kings...I prefer / am used to the 33 mm handle....any companies offering adjustable competition with 33 mm handle? The one from kettlebell kings comes with 35 mm
@@kettlebellmusclegain I mean the part where the shaft enteres the upper half of the Kb with the handle. Can you move yours to the sides a bit or is it totally solid?
I have the same kettlebell from kettlebell kings and I usually use it 12 kg when doing snatches and bump it up 16 kg when I'm doing upper body. Been thinking get another in the future
Hi! Just discovered your channel and it’ great!!! I just started kettlebell training, and was thinking of buying a couple of these… my only worry is that I heard comp kettlebells aren’ t good for double hand swings! Is it real or you can do it the same?thnx a lot, keep up the great job!
@@cthulhu4278 ...it depends on the size of your hands....but having said that, I've seen top kettlebell gurus doing swings with two hands no problem like Steve Cotter, Mark Wildman, Gregory from LebeStark. I can too, but I have small size hands so I wouldn't be a great judge. th-cam.com/video/EIyOdqTf3r8/w-d-xo.html
@@kettlebellmusclegain I'd love to use your code, but the site just keeps saying NOTIFY ME instead of ADD TO CART. Guess I'll just keep waiting for eternity :P
It should take that long.... But I understand your point. I feel it's best to use for a workout as a specific weight. Then change as needed for other workouts
@@kettlebellmusclegain bowflex, klarfit and powerblock worth to mention. But on second thought those KK of yours are much better, because shape is still like not-adjustable one (which can cause pain in other ones) and the main thing is that they have slow but strudy mechanism to lock the weight. In example klarfit have plastic bolt.. which suppose to hold depends on model up to 24kg in dynamic moves. When someone is training few times a week i think that will break sooner or leater.
I have the kk adjustable and titan fitness both good but both could be improved. My annoyance with each of them is that there's some weight settings where it rattles and there's no real fix. The kk version for example can't make a 17kg bell without the plates rattling. Titan fitness can't make 18kg without rattling. Kinda sucks when they say that you can adjust in 1kg increments.
I found a fix for that. The bells come with two nuts inside for the threaded bar. Move the first but closer to the bottom of the bell, but only as far down as needed to make the weights not touch the sides of the bell. Then add the plates you need. Here's the final part that keeps everything in place. Buy a 1 inch lock washer place it between the plates and the second nut. Tighten down, and the tension from the lock washer holds everything in place. The simple addition of a lock washer is a game changer for these bells...
Not at all. Being able to change the weight mid workout is a great way to focus for the next set. I have 2 of the Titan Fitness ones and ill empty them then mirco load them back up as i get more tired. Less reps, more weight while fatigued is a great focus builder. I highly suggest bellers to try one out given the chance.
Depends on your workout / goals. It takes around 90 seconds to change weights for one of these KK adjustable bells. If you are having a weight progression workout for each type of exercise I can that this can be a hassle.
@@rollinghazards8520 you have a valid point, I still feel that it could considerably increase the duration of an average kettlebell workout by 10-15 mins.. but hey I definitely agree that keeping yourself motivated thru the weight loading process has to have it's benefits too.

Yes its good for that !
I’m curious, Did you get to use your kettlebell and change weights constantly?
I usually use it for a workout that doesn't have much weight change. . I'll change it depending on the workout
Glad you like it, thanks for sharing 💪💪
This might seem like a nitpick, but any plans on releasing this with the Kettlebell Kings branding on it to match the rest of your competition kettlebells?
Just about to move up from double 24's so this presents a real solution. Your review has put my mind at ease. Cheers Joe.
Happy to help..
I recommend a 1 inch lock washer for these bells. Holds everything in place, even during longer sessions
Boom nice!
Just use another nut....jam nut, It will work perfectly.
Yep
Can we see a tutorial of you doing that?
The ones I bought came with double nuts and I use it like a jam nut just like you said !@@kingdavid2684

Been looking at adjustable kettlebells a while now. You've convinced me that these are the way to go.
Space and money saving compared to a room of KB
@@kettlebellmusclegain Most definitely. The KB Kings look like they're difficult to find in the UK. May go for the Omnibell KB's.
Haven't seen but should be near identical

ABSOLUTELY. A good choice
Great video! Great instructions
Thank you
Very versatile piece of equipment
True. Great for homes and small Studios or even people that exercise while traveling
Can you feel the difference in weight distribution?
It's Very miniscule.
All my KBs are 33 mm competition, except one 35mm from kettlebell kings...I prefer / am used to the 33 mm handle....any companies offering adjustable competition with 33 mm handle? The one from kettlebell kings comes with 35 mm
Possibly Titan ? Or Bells Of Steel?
Ha, I just asked you about this on another video.
Hi Joe, did you notice any difference having the weight at the top of the ‘bell? Did it change the feel of the swing at all? Thanks
feels more like a cast bell but you could try using a spacer to adjust
A cotter pin would work out great as well. Especially if you don’t want to damage the plates.
Do you know how the threded shaft is secured in the upper half? Mine is a bit loose and I am afreid of getting it on the head...
No I don't. Isnt there a bolt? If its not tight id call them they definitely dont want that too happen.
@@kettlebellmusclegain I mean the part where the shaft enteres the upper half of the Kb with the handle. Can you move yours to the sides a bit or is it totally solid?
I haven't noticed that I have to check when I get to my business
Wow

Use a second nut and you won't have to tighten it.
Good review but if you want an adjustable kettlebell DON'T put loctite. Just tighten it good and check it before using it.
I like the nuts with the plastic ends that help keep them tight

@@BigHat83 thanks for the tip!
@@BigHat83 Solid tips! I think Mark Wildman was saying to add cardboard between the plates to silence the rattle. Maybe it was someone else. 🤔🤷♂️
Put felt strips or a cotton rag in-between them.
Seems interesting but don't u feel it's too much of a time consuming hassle? Kills the whole fun of an intense fast paced KB workout

@@RaoVenu hi Venu, thanx for your feedback. Can you let me know which Kettlebell brand do you use?
@@RaoVenu agree. That's why I been debating between this one and the ironmaster kettlebell handle. However the ironmaster is always out of stock
Too expensive!
Alot cheaper than 3 competition kettlebells.
As the years go by and these start to rust, I guarantee you they will not be adjustable anymore. Solid bells will stand the test of time.
Solid rocks too. These are great for small spaces and travel.
