Kettlestack Kettlebells in Iraq and Back

Fri, 10/13/2006 - 21:53 — admin

I ordered your kettlestack handles while deployed to Iraq last year and was very pleased with the ability to change the weight so quickly. Though they thought I was crazy at first, my fellow Marines were impressed as well and made me leave them behind when I returned to the states. The other guys and I were really impressed with the short time it took to buildup strength using the kettle bells. Especially when I, being the smallest guy on our team, could do a bottoms up press with 50lb bells. Now that I am back and tried using the regular gyms on base, I just don't get the same workout as with the kettlebells. A few friends and I are looking to buy a few more and start working out in the barracks and at home. Thanks for a great product.

Feels just like regular kettlebells and Low Shipping !

Just got my first Kettlestack (adjustable kettlebell). I love it. Feels just like regular kettlebells. The cost is equal to the shipping cost of some kettlebells! SL, Brooklyn, New York

Shape Tweak Works , Thanks!

Sat, 10/14/2006 - 02:13 — admin

I thought my Kettlestack was good for swings & presses, but I still used a solid kettlebell for snatches.

Then I saw that new front page and the whole tweak thing clicked. You guys wasted a lot of time not getting the word out! It's just as comfortable as my cast kettlebell. Fix all those pictures! JL, Texas

adjustable kettlebells in Sweden

Thu, 10/12/2006 - 19:19 — admin

Letting you know that the Kettlestacks (adjustable kettlebells) have arrived. My husband and i spent the weekend playing with them and we are very impressed to say the least. Excellent quality! We own a *** (adjustable kettlebell) handle (which my husband has never liked) and it dosen't even compare to the Kettlestack. The feel of the Kettlestack is supberb and we can honestly say that there was no noticible difference with our original kettlebell and the Kettlestack (except of course that the Kettlestack is adjustable and can easily be taken with us on our frequent travels), congratulations on a fine product!

Kettlestack kettlebells in Minnesota

Mon, 10/16/2006 - 23:00 — admin

The Kettlestack (adjustable kettlebell) used some nice hardware and didn't try to save 5 cents. As for the handle ... it's sweet and it's strong. I have dropped mine on the handle and it didn't brake. In use, I have no preference between kettlestacks and kettlebells. MF, Minneapolis,Minnesota

Judo,Powerlifting training with Kettlestack kettlebells

Sat, 10/14/2006 - 14:30 — dk23

I have always enjoyed doing snatches and cleans and the kettlebell versions are quite explosive, closer to competitive movements than I have felt with pulling and pushing barbells and dumbbells. It (kettlestacks) is an amazing supplement to the practical old school barbell and dumbbell exercises that wrestlers, field athletes have always incorporated into their training. The thick handles are a bonus for gripping strength, no straps needed here.

Varying the weight is very fast and simple as you advertised and there is no worrying about anything breaking on a missed pull or push. I controlled dropped a 105 pound one arm repetitive kettlebell clean on a missed 4th set. No damage, no problem, Next set, all set to go. My friend spent a couple of hundred dollars for a set of quick change dumbbells and they are not made to be dropped at all. Let's just say he is lucky that his father is a welder.

No adjustable dumbbells on the market today with cheap plastic parts can match these tough kettlebell handles using solid steel plates.. Simple, tough and practical. Who could ask for more? Undersold is an UNDERSTATEMENT on your marketing. I have the Mike Mahler kettlebell DVD . The Kettlestack kettlebell handles and his DVD are a killer combination. DW British Columbia, Canada

Great product backed by excellent customer service

I have been training with a kettlestack for couple weeks now and I must admit I was a bit skeptical at first. But now I have no doubts that I can use this for my training goals. Not only is it adjustable in weight, but you can also customize the distance of the stack to the handle. Excellent product, excellent customer service. will be purchasing a second handle soon. LD,CA

Kettlebells are a great addition to my kit

Thu, 01/24/2008 - 05:00 — jporterk

I just wanted to say thanks to Kettlestack for a couple of things.

First, I don't remember how long ago I purchased my first KS, but I got my second one for Christmas and I am loving every minute of it. KS training has given me a whole new avenue for establishing and achieving new training goals. In just a few short weeks I've gone from hating TGUs to wanting to add them to every workout.

Second, they have great customer service. With my first KB they gave me more than I asked for in terms of equipment and when I contacted them to ask about the configuration of the second package, they immediately made sure that I had what I wanted.

If you are remotely considering a kettlebell of any kind, I think the only solution for the modern athlete is Kettlestacks.

Old School Trainer using Kettlebells

Fri, 10/13/2006 - 04:00 — kk_oh

I love them...I was just on my way out for some clean & jerks actually. The adjustments are easy and quick which is great while training other people. In fact it's the best equipment purchase I've made in along time...I'm so glad I did not go with an imposter kettlestack. Anyway it's exceeded my expectations and I'm very happy. KK, Ohio

how heavy can i go?

Thu, 05/24/2007 - 14:34 — nick

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

kettlestack kettebells in canada

Sun, 02/25/2007 - 07:37 — Canadian Kettle

Hi folks,

Just wondering what the best option is to get a pair of kettlestacks in Canada. Shipping them from the states? Or is there an official supplier in Canada that would be better?

Real close to a Kettlebell and an assembly question

Tue, 07/03/2007 - 04:00 — rs31

Hello,

I recieved the kettlestack this afternoon...I love this thing...I'm having trouble thinking of functional differences between an actual kettlebell and it...real well made product...

I had a quick question regarding storage though...should I loosen the bolts or even undo the whole setup every night for longevity (of the kettlestack) purposes?

Thank You
RJ

getting kettlebell shapes with the Kettlestack

Mon, 06/09/2008 - 15:01 — admin

The first step to getting the best kettlebell shape from your Kettlestack is understand where your forearm is going to land.
For most people that will be around 2 o'clock according to the clock we've superimposed over the image of the kettlestack.

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

New Hardware Options

Wed, 02/14/2007 - 00:43 — admin

Hi Everyone !

Our updated product line still has a base, mid, and high option but things have changed!!! More kettlebell stuff . . .

The grips have been modified to the new design and are the same for all options.
we have a new strap that is same for all models. It's black finish RC52 tempered band that's a good bit stronger than the old blue steel. These bands would be much happier as leaf springs in truck suspensions but we have consigned them to live inside of your Kettlestack !
