kettlebells

[spadetownboy]

spadetowngirl has a birthday coming up soon and is doing my head in to buy her a kettlebell or bells but they,re not the cheapest piece of equipment to buy for what will more than likely end up under the stairs after a few months. i have checked out a few sites for reports on their effectiveness,but has anyone on the site a)heard of them and b)if so used them, because until the missus approached me about them i was pretty much in the dark.

I have Captains of Crush grippers and they are good.

Kettlebells are old school weight training but will improve grip strength as well as arm/shoulder. By giving big lifts your trunk strength or related strength will increase too. They have been popularised by that Russian as that is all he had then.

If you live in an upstairs flat you will not be popular below.
