yeah they sold out quick, on a side note, I also just noticed bowlfex released a new set of dumbells the Selecttech 560's and they're bluetooth enabled, when did those come out I swear it wasn't on the site when I was there 2 weeks ago.

They've definitely had those for awhile. I saw them when I looked at the site back in early March.

I returned the sportchek one we got for $150 (was free shipping too). Maybe should have kept it lol

The size was just awkward.

Here's another interesting product if you have standard plates: northern lights adjustable kettlebell for $150. Pre-covid price was probably half that or less.

Bought this from Sportchek, size is a little awkward at first, but got used to it. Great build quality and functions smoothly.

Yeah typo. I was supposed to have typed "if you have standard plates". I have the plates, just not sure I want to shell out $150 for the one I posted.

Did the dumbell prices go up in price?
I though that they were somewhere between $320-$360.

Just a heads up, for an average male, 40 lbs is not much. I have a 35 lbs (16 kg / 1 pood) Kettlebell that I use at home, and I'm not what you would consider "fit", more of a nearing-midage-used-to-be-more-active-when-i-was-younger-without-kids-and-busy-work armchair athlete.

I consider myself an average male and am working up from 20lbs for kettlebell swings. It'll be a while before I use the maximum weight on my Bowflex kettlebell.

To anyone who owns one of these, is the design too bulky/awkward to use for curls like a dumbbell? Or maybe that would put too much strain on the wrist?

I don't think I've ever tried to curl a kettlebell... Just trying to gauge the versatility of this thing.. and the versatility of my wallet, of course!

I would advise against using a kettlebell for a dumbbell workout and vice versa. There are a number of great kettlebell exercises that will get you in better shape than a dumbbell ever could IMO.

Rogue Canada restocks kettlebells couple times a month. They are seen as one of the fitness manufacturers. Highly recommend their products if you are unable to buy this or want to buy fixed kettlebells.

Any links to the workouts for the kettleball you'd recommend?
