I bought a cheap (5,99€) radio-controlled alarm clock from Lidl. Turns out the signal doesn't really reach this country too well and also since it's from Lidl it said "DIE" in big letters when I turned it on.

My mailman is either going to slash my tires or burn down my house--I just ordered 200 pounds of cat litter  I can't even send a two hundred pound package through the mail for 75$, let alone manufacture, distribute, sell, and ship even a loving kazoo for that price.

Sometimes more if there's a sale on Amazon. My mail carrier has taken to leaving my heavy packages against my storm door so I have to go around the house to open it.

Trust me, you paid for shipping on those kettle bells. Weights cost $1 a pound on a good day and that's probably 95% to cover transit costs and still make a profit. I wonder if this has been done before, but it would be a great idea to basically just sell a kit to pour your own concrete into weight molds. You could ship that for cheap and make more weights for very cheap.

Good kettlebells are made of cast iron, not concrete. I don't think any weights would use concrete

I bought some kettlebells recently and the interesting thing is that the prices online including shipping is usually about the same as just buying locally.

Weight isn't typically the issue with ground shipping, it's dimensions.

Yeah, these were about $1.50/lb I think, but the price matched the local place I looked up, so  (My point was really that someone had to deliver them.)

I probably spent too much on a kettlebell but hey at least it's probably not crap. Oh for five bucks extra I get the extra special coating/ new design? gently caress yeah sign me up! I was tempted by the monkey/fantasy creature ones but wasn't a fan of the one that was the weight I wanted. Edit: Went with kettlebell usa metrixx elite.

I did a poo poo ton of research before buying kettlebells and ended up with kettlebell kings. The quality is awesome and the company is full of the nicest most helpful people. The prices are competitive and you can almost always find discount codes around. I'm still sitting on mine for when I can move up to 24kg soon. I also got a nice free shirt which is basically an ad but whatever I'm down for supporting them. I realized halfway through that this is the recent purchases thread not the product recommendation thread. Oh well, buy kettlebells dudes. Do a million swings. Develop the fiercest hip thrust in the cosmos.

That's probably just old lubricant because they've been on a shelf in a warehouse for a while.

What makes a kettlebell high quality? In theory it's cast iron, hopefully with some kind of soft coating to grip, and a flat spot on the bottom to set them down.

Weight consistency, one piece construction with no welded handles, quality of the finish/powder coat, proper sanding/filing to make sure there are minimal areas with roughness or burs. They're extremely simple but there are definitely things that can put one above another. There are quite a few companies pumping out cheaply made kettlebells with awful quality control. I don't mind spending a little extra since these big hunks of iron will realistically last way longer than I will.

The most interesting kettleball I've seen is pretty much a sand-filled medicine ball with a handle.

idk about goony, I work out in public because I can't afford a nice in-home gym setup I'd much rather have work out equipment at home, I recently started working out at the work provided gym and there is something fantastically efficient about having gym facilities where you "reside" most of the day but also i'm talking about the traditional setup not kettle cooked thingamajigs
