As the title says, does anybody know where to buy kettlebells around the PJ area? I wouldn't mind travelling to KL to get one if it isn't available in PJ.

Holy shit.

I think in KLCC they r selling this..Beside Starbucks..

Whoa.... RM779 for a pair of 12kg & 16kg ? I'm sticking with dumbbells....

Actually, I've used both and yes I find kettlebells quite challenging and versatile as well. I however, wouldn't pay so much to use it because it just ain't worth the money. The dumbbell's equally versatile lah...

Well, 'it's just a ball with a handle'. Nothing special.

Or you could try making one yourself. The only difference is the weight's position, but I don't really see the difference in using a dumbbell for the same kettlebell exercises?

Good lawrd!
The Russians probably started using kettlebell because it's cheaper to manufacture compared to dumbbell.

i saw that in FHM latest mag,
izzit the same thing with dumbell -.- jus add a handle in ur dumble izzit the same things-.-?

Trust me buddy, you ain't tried swinging an 80LBS dumbbell yet. When you use heavier dumbbells, the center of gravity is much harder to stabilize. The difference with the kettlebell is that the "bell" at the bottom, makes for a more forward pulling swing, thus you've got to develop stronger posterior chain muscles and have different technique when swinging, snatching or push jerking a kettlebell. However, dumbbells are a monster of their own as well, so is the sandbag, barbell, medicine ball and whatever other equipment that promotes free movement.

I wouldn't say that the 10KG kb is harder to use cuz once the technique is in, it's difficulty level is quite similar. The thing about dumbbells is that you can adapt and learn faster. But when it gets heavier, its got it's own difficulty as well.

Unless you're really into GS or don't have a gym near you, KBs are quite expensive - a dumbbell/barbell is more versatile plus its more effective for strength training as the increment can be as low as 0.5kg or 0.25kg for micro plates.

The good thing is that its portable enough to play around near a park or open space.
