This program is for beginners who need a solid foundation in fundamentals of kettlebell movement before moving on to ?ow as well as experienced lifters who want to learn to teach kettlebell ?ow or move in new planes of motion in order to build new kettlebell strength. Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell Our Powder Coat kettlebells vary by size and dimensions based on the weight. Therefore, the more weight you need, the larger the kettlebell is. Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell

  3. Choosing The Right Kettlebell Our Competition style kettlebells are all the same size regardless of weight within their respective series. So, an 8 KG kettlebell is the same size and dimension of a 48 KG kettlebell. This includes our Competition Kettlebells 35mm and 33mm handles as well as our Fitness Edition Competition Kettlebells. What Size Kettlebell? What Size Kettlebell? The starting weight you choose can vary based on your kettlebell experience as well as ?tness and strength level. While it is hard to make speci?c recommendations without knowing you personally, there are some guidelines that have come to be over the years that we believe are helpful. Men - Men who are new to kettlebell training and lifting in general should start with a 35 pound or 16 kilogram kettlebell. This is a great starting weight even for a strong man as he learns proper form. A man with good gym strength can continue to get great workouts with this weight because of the unlimited possibilities of kettlebell training. Women - Women who are new to kettlebell training and lifting in general should start with an 18 pound or 8 kilogram kettlebell. This weight is ideal for a woman who is just beginning weight training whether it be in the gym or at home. MEN MEN - As mentioned, men who are new to kettlebell training should start with 35lb or 16kg. This is the ideal weight for the average man, new to weights or with a bench press strength of under 200 pounds. Men who are new to kettlebells, but not weight training or who have a higher bench press could start with a 44 pound or 20 kilogram kettlebell. Most men will quickly be able to use a 53 pound or 24 kilogram kettlebell after a few months of kettlebell training. If you are of advanced strength, but new to kettlebells we recommend starting with a 53 pound or 24 kilogram kettlebell, knowing you will progress past this in up to 6 months. For this reason, consider a the Set Builder. Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell

  4. WOMEN WOMEN - Women who are new to kettlebell training and lifting in general should start with an 18 pound or 8 kilogram kettlebell. This weight is ideal for a woman who is just beginning weight training whether it be in the gym or at home. Remember, you want a kettlebell you can grow with, even if this seems like a lot of weight at ?rst, you will fairly quickly be able to increase your reps through regular use and the workouts you do. Women who use some form of weights but are new to kettlebells should start with a 26 pound or 12 kilogram kettlebell. For anyone who is going to be using kettlebells, a kettlebell set is great purchase. First because it will allow you to grow with your kettlebells and give you some variety as your strength increases for certain movements, but also because of the heavy discounts which are applied to sets versus individual purchases.

  5. High Level - Types of Kettlebells to Choose From at Kettlebell Kings & The Di?erences Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell

  6. Within each type of kettlebell, both cast iron and steel, we have a number of di?erent options. Below are the key di?erences between iron and steel. Further down the page we go through each individual model we create. The term 'competition' or 'competition style' kettlebell is sometimes synonomous with steel kettlebells, but theoretically there could be a steel kettlebell that di?ers from the information below. If there is, we have not seen one. Cast Iron Kettlebells Cast Iron Kettlebells Our Cast Iron Kettlebells are Powder Coated. Think of the iron as the skeleton and the powder coat paint as the ?esh, really durable ?esh Made out of iron and range widely in size, depending on weight. They have a curved handle, that can also vary widely in width as well as diameter. The cast-iron kettlebell is solid, with no hollow space. Within Cast Iron Kettlebells we have models based in KG & American style LB increments. Traditionally thought of as best for kettlebell swings and turkish get ups. Steel Kettlebells Steel Kettlebells Our competition ketlebells are made of steel and are the same size and dimension  across the  weight range. The handle is ?at across on top, and joins the body of the kettlebell vertically. Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell

  7. We carry steel kettlebells in competition kettlebells in both 35 and 33mm as well as American style LB increments and KG increments. These are designed for high repetition snatches, jerks, cleans but are also great for bootcamp and high intensity workouts because of the wide ?at base and uniform size ideal for push ups, dips, farmer's carry and more. Steel is more durable than cast iron Di?erent Kettlebells For Di?erent Lifts Di?erent Kettlebells For Di?erent Lifts There is a bene?t to using kilograms rather than pounds as well. Mentally, since “8” is less than “18,” the 8kg kettlebell will feel easier to lift than an 18lb kettlebell. Swings, Swings, When teaching two hand swings, it can be a toss-up as to which style kettlebell to use. On one hand, the curved handle of a cast-iron kettlebell is easier to hold than the ?at-handled competition kettlebell, however, since the handle’s vary in size depending on the weight of the cast-iron kettlebell, the lighter weight kettlebell’s have very narrow handles which are di?cult to hold with two hands. Once beyond the learning phase, the curved handle of the cast-iron kettlebell is the clear winner for swings. Goblet Squats, Goblet Squats, The curved handle of a cast-iron kettlebell is also preferred when performing Goblet Squats Goblet Squats. Since the handle remains the same diameter all the way to the body of the kettlebell, the hand can get a ?rm grip on the handle, while the curve of the handle allows the wrist to stay more in line with the forearm. These are the two main movements that one would consider a cast iron kettlebell for. There are some clear advantages for competition kettlebells in almost all other kettlebell movements. Since competition kettlebells are designed for high repetition snatches, jerks, cleans but are also great for bootcamp and high intensity workouts because of the wide ?at base and uniform size ideal for push ups, dips, farmer's carry and more.

Kettlebell Kings Are Di?erent. RECESSED LOGO, Our Cast Iron Powder Coated Kettlebells have recessed logos into the kettlebell. The Kettlebell Kings logo pictured above is recessed in the bell for increased comfort during lifting. Kettlebells with logos that are stamped or extruding (like most other brands) may cause discomfort during lifting when the logo makes contact with your hands, wrist and forearm. Additionally, if the logo is not in the bell itself it is inserted or glued in which will come out over time and create discomfort during lifts.

LIFETIME WARRANTY LIFETIME WARRANTY Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell SMOOTH FINISH SMOOTH FINISH, Pay close attention to the ?nish when comparing to images of others, speci?cally how rough the ?nish looks and if there is the appearance of a seam. Casting a kettlebell leaves a seam or sharp rise across the middle of the underside of the handle. This seam needs to be ?led down before the kettlebell is ?nished. Some companies do not remove this sharp seam and this can carve up your hand. Kettlebell Kings Powder Coat Kettlebells have a smoother ?nish because

  12. our casting process creates a smoother surface and imperfections are moved before applying the powder coat. Having a smooth ?nish protects your hands, wrists and forearms.

This kettlebell is the o?cial kettlebell of Orange Kettlebell Club, American Kettlebell Alliance, Girevoy Sport Association of Australia, IKFF and is used at the majority competitive lifting events in the United States, Canada and Australia. The main di?erence between this model and the other two competition kettlebell models we create is the 35mm diameter handle (this is the international standard) and contains no ?llers. Imagine a mold that steel is poured into, the shape of the kettlebell is upside down and the steel ?lls the mold to the precise weight of the kettlebell as it is poured. Most competition style kettlebellls are made di?erently. The biggest di?erence between this bell and the Fitness Edition bells are these contain no ?llers, while the Fitness Edition bells do. Additionally, these are color coded to international standards in which each weight has a speci?c color. The Fitness Edition kettlebells are all black with colored bands on the handles. Lastly, these are based in kilogram weights. What is a Competition Kettlebell? What is a Competition Kettlebell? Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell Competition kettlebells are made of steel and are all the same size regardless of weight for a uniform training experience at all times. The bells are designed for high repetition exercises. If you have used barbells, think about when you train with plates that are all the same size regardless of weight so your form is always the same during Olympic lifts. Competition Kettlebells are the same premise in kettlebell form.

  14. Competition Kettlebell - Fitness Edition Competition Kettlebell - Fitness Edition The Fitness Edition kettlebells are made from steel and are all the same size regardless of weight. The key di?erence between these and our other two competition kettlebells are that these are made in American style LB weights like 25,30,35,40 as opposed to being based in kilograms like the other two. In order to keep cost down, these bells are steel shells, but contain ?llers to acheive the desire weight while keeping the same dimensions across weights. The Fitness Edition kettlebells are all black with colored bands on the handles as opposed to the entire kettlebell being all one color. These kettlebells have 35mm handles.

  15. ORIGINAL ORIGINAL, One of a kind style of kettlebell, no one else has steel competition style kettlebells based in ?ve pound increments Competition Kettlebell - 33mm Handle Competition Kettlebell - 33mm Handle Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell Choosing The Right Kettlebell This kettlebell is un?lled and is made just like the 35mm handle model above. So, it is similiar in that it contains no ?llers to the 35mm handle bell and di?erent from the Fitness Edition which contains ?llers. Additionally, this kettlebell is made in kilogram based increments and each kettlebell is a di?erent color over the entire kettlebell, colored to international standards. The biggest di?erence of this model compared to the 35mm model is the 33mm handle compared to a 35mm handle. Additionally, the sides of the handle called the cones are larger on this model. This is designed to make it

  16. more comfortable for insertion during kettlebell sport lifts.   HANDLE, TEARDROP SHAPE HANDLE, TEARDROP SHAPE, the handle is modeled after Ural style bells with a 'teardrop' shaped handle which is 35mm from top to bottom and 33mm side to side   CONES CONES, enlarged cones on side angle of bell for greater comfort on hands, wrist and forearm in wrack and overhead position   HOLLOW CORE HOLLOW CORE, because our kettlebell is constructed from a single steel cast without ?llers, just the precise amount of steel for the desired weight, the aperture in the bottom allows you to be sure of this. This creates better balance during lifts as normal competition bells with welded bottoms and ?llers can shift and rattle around with movement making it harder to complete your workout. If you see a competition style kettlebell without an opening in the bottom it is ?lled with sawdust and ball bearings or other ?llers to achieve the desired weight. These will unsettle overtime and make the lift feel unbalanced as the contents shift around inside.   NO WELDING NO WELDING, this un?lled competition kettlebell is made by precision single casting technology, which means it is cast as one solid piece instead of welding parts.   traditional kettlebells are made with welding the handles, bodies or bottom -- this makes kettlebells break easy -- NO WELDING on our Kettlebell Sport Competition Series   NO FILLERS NO FILLERS, each weight has an individual mold to cast precisely to the correct weight.
