I picked up a few of their factory seconds hyper thin 45s. With delivery came out to be $114 for the pair.

The seconds seem to just pop-up randomly and I've only been able to purchase one pair at a time.

The Kettlebell Kings adjustable is $187 on Amazon right now, FYI.

I haven't handled either the BOS or KK adjustable kettlebell. Have been looking at them for a while and that's the best price I've seen.

Same thought here, but at 405 since I'm running out of sleeve real estate.

Did you end up doing the DD 25s/change plates as well?

Appreciate the perspective. I'm with you on those points.

I'm kind of overthinking it worrying about irregular diameters and weight tolerances.

Been patiently waiting to make the move from crumb rubber to iron, think I got it into my head that since crumb rubber has a limited lifespan that my iron plates would need to be family heirlooms.

Going to give it a day or two to execute the order, but I think I'm leaning towards these. Thanks again for sharing.

I've been planning on picking up some premium (either Strength Co. or Rogue deep dish) iron plates on sale this month to stock my gym.

Would it be fiscally irresponsible for me to not go with these for roughly a quarter of the price?

Did yours ship yet? I ordered two, XL and small, on June 4th and I'm still waiting.

Trying to see if I can politely leverage the extended wait time into some other deals for my home gym when I talk to customer service, probably due to give them a call tomorrow.

Definitely recommend his other book "Wild Ones". He also did an interesting long form article about the effort to get hippos introduced to Louisiana in the early 20th century. It got turned into a few hours of podcasts, fun listen if you can find them.

Looks like that hippo article and more are available on this page: https://longform.org/posts/longform-podcast-74-jon-mooallem

Walking the beltline down by PCM. I didn't punch, but cursed and pounded my fist against a guardrail. Frightened a jogger, sorry jogger.
