About this product
Kettlebell Dumbbell Black Vinyl – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
A kettlebell is a cast weight with a handle above it, coated here in black vinyl.
The offset handle is the entire point. On a dumbbell, the mass is in line with your hand, so it is stable and predictable – good for controlled lifting. On a kettlebell, the centre of mass hangs below and behind the grip, which makes it want to swing and rotate. That is why kettlebells are used for ballistic movements – swings, cleans, snatches – that simply cannot be done with a dumbbell, and why holding one overhead demands so much more from the shoulder.
The swing is the exercise worth learning properly. Done right it is a hip movement – the hips snap forward and the bell floats up as a consequence – and it trains the posterior chain and the cardiovascular system harder than almost anything else per minute. Done wrong, as a squat with a front raise, it does very little and irritates the lower back. It is worth an hour with someone who knows, or careful study of a good demonstration, before doing hundreds of them.
Vinyl coating keeps the iron off your floor, damps the noise, and slows the surface rust that bare iron develops quickly in coastal humidity. It is not armour – a bell dropped on a hard corner will split the coating – so set it down rather than dropping it.
One kettlebell in a corner is a complete conditioning session: swings, goblet squats, carries, presses and rows. It is arguably the best value per square metre of any piece of equipment.
