I have the PowerBlock dumbells which I love. I liked them so much I purchased the KettleBlocks and that was a mistake. I also have the PowerBlockettleBlocks which I don’t. I really would not recommend these at all.
There are two reasons I would not purchase these KettleBlocks:
-
The balance is off for swings because of the way the weight is distributed so it just feels very awkward especially at lower weights,
-
Because the KettleBlock is not round like a regular kettlebell it makes movements like Turkish Get Ups and snatches uncomfortable.
Sadly in this case I would get a set of regular kettlebells and use them instead. If you are just starting out get a couple of bells and start from there. There are many exercises you can do with just one bell.
Sorry PowerBlock, I really wanted to love these but I just can’t.
