Apex Adjustable Heavy-Duty Kettlebell Weight for Strength Training and Weightlifting, Ideal Home Gym Equipment, Cast Iron, Grey APKB-5009

This is a great value if you have the right plates already available AND if you can start off at 20 lbs. It will save you lots of money (and storage space) over buying individual kettlebells. While the handle is only 15 lbs (just under 7 kg), it's a big jump (+32%) to put on the base to make it 20 lbs. This kettlebell plus 4 - 7.5 lb "pancake" plates gets you to the maximum of 50 lbs (23 kg). However, I prefer about 10 percent jumps in weight, so I added in a combination of 1.25 (close to half kilo), 2.5 (just over a kilo), and 5 lb plates I had from my dumbbells with the 7.5s and that provides a 20-50 lb range (9-23 kg) in 1.25 or 2.5 lb increments (about same as half kilo to 1 kg jumps). This gives you the versatility to have very small to very large jumps in weight load. Finally, it is about as tall as a traditional 35 lb regular kettlebell, but the handle is a little more squared (although not as much as a competition kettlebell). Also, how you stack the plates and plastic spacers will greatly affect the balance and feel. Overall, I found this to be a great option when I just started to learn kettlebell exercises and needed lighter weights. I was then was able to inexpensively add weight to the same piece of equipment as my strength increased.

good kettlebell for price paid

Best to use this with slim flat weights like performance power pro.Works as good as a normal kettle bell.Quick to change the weights by spinning the top off.I think realistic max weight for snatches is 26 KG and for swings 29KG(Handle is 8.5kg and max is 4 x performance power pro 5kg to get 29kg.)

You need to fill the plates but one of them came without the cap and is therefore not usable.

I bought two of these adjustable kettlebells for my home gym and have been extremely pleased. They are very easy to use and adjusting the weight is very simple. I’ve had these up to 60lbs and they are very solid. If I had to be critical on one thing I’d ask them to add a checkering to the grip. If your hands are sweaty they can slip around in your hand a bit. But overall I highly recommend this product for any home gym.

Let me start by saying this is a great product. It is sturdy, has a great studded metal type feel and easy to grip for different exercises. It's a larger size in my opinion but I like that it can be modified for more weight plates which is a huge plus for my family's needs.ProsHeavy, easy to grip, works as intended. More plates can be added for additional weight (only one 5 lb place included with the my order)ConsMore bulky than some other kettle bell brands.The bottom nut will come loose with use sometimes and must be tightened.Overall it's a great addition to a small workout space that I've carved in my home.

Load with 1-inch weight plates for a versatile workout. I go as low as 25lbs for snatches and up to the max of 50lb (add 4 x 7.5lb plates) for glute bridges. I really like how the handle/horns are a normal width, other similar adjustable kettlebells have horns that are way too far apart. It works and feels just like a normal kettlebell.

I was expecting decent quality and got great quality. The iron castings look solid and smooth. The threads look great. Look at them in the pictures. They're very long too with enough space to tighten while using plates of varying thickness. It feels very solid in use and the threaded shaft stays tight. The beaten metal finish looks really good. Overall, it's better than expected. I intend to use this kettlebell for many years.Notes: The spacers are listed as being zero pounds, which is silly, so I weighed them on a gram scale and they're 66 grams each, just over two ounces. Being weird, I also tried filling them with sand and all four together filled with sand brings the weight of the kettlebell up to about 25 pounds. It's like getting an extra five pound plate essentially for free.

I was searching for an adjustable kettlebell with metallic mechanism contrary to plastic one in others presented in the market and here I've found it! Bought it on September and so far so good!I prefer gradual increase in weights for overcoming plateaus, so I was pleased to find out, that those empty plastic spacer discs have kind of a button, which can be opened. In that way I was able to fill them with sand and got 4 discs 400+ grams each

I bought these in replacement of the other adjustable ones that broke after a few days use. But these are surprisingly well designed and well built. Fit perfectly with 1 inch disks. Highly recommend. The handle is perfect design and has a very comfortable grip.

Good value in that you can create your own variety of pound increments with your own playes

Recomendable. La calidad del acero es buena. El grosor del asa es perfecto y muy cómodo, no muy ancho pero tampoco delgado.Le cabe cualquier pesa cuyo agujero sea de 1" pero no muchas. Lo máximo que pude ponerle, ya con su asa y la base, fue 26 kilos así que si quieres más peso no es tu opción. Me hubiera gustado que se le pudiera meter mas peso. Pero en general es buen producto por el precio. Recomendable

Solido e comodo
