CAP Barbell Cast Iron Kettlebell – Coated Options, Singles and Sets, Multiple Weight Choices

Met all expectations, I own 2x20s, 25, 30, 35, 45 lbs. Pleased with purchases.
Good job Amazon! for shipping a (my first) 35# kettlebell internal box, wrapping, nylon strap, external box was a little lose, tape ripped a little, but my KB arrived in perfect condition.I was a bit nervous, given the previous quality issues reported by other CAP buyers. This one is in great condition, no damage, good finish, nice flat bottom. I love swinging KBs, I have made great progress with strength & conditioning. I DO NOT recommend the vinyl/concrete KBs by CAP, (15-20# KBs)they are toys and are way too big and have handle problems. I sent those back. Buy the cast iron ones only!Before purchasing I sent a message to CAP asking about the handle/horn size, handle dia. is 1.5″ (approx) and horn width is 7-3/4″any bigger might be too big for my hands. The size is very well proportioned and well balanced.Recommended!UPDATE 8/1/12 2nd orderToday, just received my 2 20# KBs, also iron by CAP. I put them through the paces! These are perfect weight for double-KB routines. Note, these also have big handles, about 1-1/2″ in diameter. I like them for the challenging grip, smaller hands may not. These get slick when I start sweating, so I put some chalk on my hands between rounds. Product quality was good, finish good, packaging double-boxed, product box was strapped, lots of paper stuffing, my KBs arrived in perfect condition, thanks!UPDATE 8/29/12 MOAR Kettlebells Pleeezzz!Yesterday, I got my 4th KB, this one 25 lbs. See! I’m getting stronger, these really work! I swing 6 days/wk, never sore, always a great workout. 1-hand, 2-hand swing, snatch, clean, press, jerk, long cycle, windmill, Turkish get-up, bent press, various rows, floor presses, squats, deadlifts, lunges. Full body workout. Still very pleased with CAP quality and happy with my decision to collect this brand.I recommend this as the best book on kettlebell exercises: Kettlebell Rx: The Complete Guide for Athletes and CoachesUpdate: 9/30/12 I think I have enough… for now!I just purchased a 45 lb and a 30 lb, the UPS dude thought he was a tough guy, stacked 30 on top of the 45 but then the 30 tumbled to the ground, busted through the box and got damaged. Got replacement a week later. I thread a small towel through the handles of the bigger KBs and dead lift them that way. more resistance. Love KBs! FYI, the bigger the KB, the greater the variation in quality. As they get bigger, the finishing on the bottom and paint quality diminish. the 45 lb has a rough & rather uneven bottom, but I use them on a towel on a rug in the basement, so no worries. I’m starting to practice KB juggling, have to do that in the park, where they can fall on the grass and not hurt anything. that’s fun!Side Note: I have met online a lot of great KB swingers on Fitocracy dot com, of course it is a good site for all athletes and anyone into exercising.

Nice one for a great workout
When I’ve got this 10lb one, I thought it would be good for my son, but I’ve had no idea how great this little Kettle-bell is for just when you are sitting around and doing nothing. It’s even great for lounges as an extra weight it’s a killer for your biceps if you do it for 100 reps with each arm, you will be soar tomorrow I bet, I was, great warm-up for your shoulders, I wouldn’t use anything heavier for my shoulders anyway, you can even do shoulder rotation exercises( make sure there are no kids running next to you) triceps, biceps, shoulders, legs, I think I’ll get my kid something a bit lighter and keep this one all to myself. And probably get a few a bit heavier. I like the extra wide handle and it doesn’t need any plastic coating on it because the weight isn’t that heavy and even if it was, with the coating it would have been a bit more slippery, which isn’t good for when you throw it and flip it( outside only) I think everyone should get this one at those prices. With all the gym gadgets that I’ve got collected in my house, this is the one that I actually use and loving it. Why didn’t I get this item sooner? Beats me:{I’ll have to tell you that I’ve got a set of 20lb and I use them now for my shoulders, biceps and triceps, also I love to warm up my body with a full body swing with a 50lb for 50+ reps before I would do anything else, it really brings my heart rate up, I’ve also gotten a 30lb and I use it for one arm shoulder presses and one arm isolating bicep curl. I love the pump and the burn which lasts much longer then with any arm exercises. after months of using them regularly i still don’t have any calluses, I love this brand. Extra smooth and non slippery wide handles make those exercises very comfortable to do, without getting my fingers numb. I would love to get all of them as my strength improves with time. For the beginners I would recommend to start with 10 lb and then slowly get into a heavier weight, don’t be a macho or you will get injured without a proper warm up. But I love the fact, that I can do most of the exercises without a spotter and still get pretty good form, I’ll get another 50lb for my dead-lifts, because the 20 aren’t as heavy and I feel funny doing 100 reps just to get a little pump…I know that I should get a pair of 70lb but the price is a bit high for them I think. That’s like over $200 for a pair of 70s. I’ll wait a bit longer and I will get them anyway one day.

Very nice
High quality – and exactly what I wanted.

Solid
I have them for a couple of months now and they’re great and feel great in to the grip. Great price! Love it’

Me encanta. No sé qué más puedo decir al respecto. Se siente de buen material, fue barata, es cómoda, y llegó al siguiente día. 🙂

Finish is nice and smooth, handle is thick wgich is great for double handed swings or single handed press ups.
