Going for my second Kettlestack kettlebell

Fri, 10/19/2007 - 23:24 — tdev

I've got the old style Kettlestack, which I enjoy immensely. I arbitrarily chose the middle hole for all my Kettlestack builds (35 to 55 pounds). Do you have guidelines for which hole to use (e.g., for less than 25 pounds use the hole closest to the handle)?

I tried a couple of brands of cast kettlebells today. I found that they caused intense pain in my wrist--they hit a spot much closer to my wrist than my Kettlestack. I'm wondering if they have a crappy design, or am I spoiled from my Kettlestack!

I would like to purchase another kettlestack for double KB movements--can I set up a new-style Kettlestack such that it has the same height as my old one?

Thanks!

how heavy can i go?

with a 70 pound base, does that mean i can load it with 70 pounds of plates, or 70 pounds including the weight of the handle ( 67.5 pounds of plates plus the handle)?
thank you

getting kettlebell shapes with the Kettlestack

The first step to getting the best kettlebell shape from your Kettlestack is understand where your forearm is going to land -l be around 2 o'clock looking from the side.

Take alook at how the plates are tapered on this pair of 35 lbers.

which hole should I use in the support strap

I'm trying to figure out which hole I in the handle bands I should be using? There are 3 - a little one (same size as the Allen wrench) then 2 big ones. Do I use the top big one or the bottom one?? Seems to make a lot of difference as to where the weight lands on my forearm.

Thanks,

PS. Awesome product.

Pretty decent prices and shipping is reasonable as well, just thought I'd share with your guys here. I plan on getting the 7.5 plates from here if I can't find them local.

which kettlestacks should I get ?

Sat, 08/18/2007 - 04:00 — admin

A customer asks:
"I am trying to decide which type of handle(s) to purchase and if I should just get one or two. I will be a beginner to kettlebells (but I have been lifting for 20 years) so I assume I should start out at 1 pood per kettle and work my way up. If I get the "High" handle so that I can just buy one set and be good for life will I need a lot of foam spacers to use just 1 pood? Other than front squatsa, are there many exercises that require two kettlebells at once? Thanks in advance."
