Guys, based on the excellent info on this thread I purchased a kettlestack. It arrived yesterday, and I set up a 55 lb. stack. I have been training with a RKC trainer for a couple of weeks. While I love the training effect, bells were out of my price range. The stacks are a perfect solution.
They are easy to set up (mine took 2 mins., and they are perfectly round due to their bowl trick). They are comfortable, and they are a HELL of a lot cheaper than standard KBs. They certainly will allow me to continue my routines at home. Another product that I think is GREAT re: KB routines is Anthony Dilugio's "The Art of Strength". It is a 45 min. workout, follow along, on DVD. It also comes with an MP3 player download that calls out the exercises/reps/calls out the time. It is a tough workout! The combination of the above two products has made me a happy man (albeit a tired one). Thank you to the guys above for all the info. This is what makes this forum so valuable. BC, Maine
