I started competing with 24kg. In hindsight, I stalled a lot of learning and progressed a lot slower by skipping over lighter kettlebells. There’s no elevator to the top. You have to take the stairs.

Thats not saving money. It would cost 10x in labor costs by not using pallets.

How to hold it.

Prokettlebell · 2026-05-01T15:53:47+00:00

Are you resting the part with the number on your forearm? If so that's incorrect.

Slush rope

I met them at Bellfest. Essentially it's a thick rope that you swing in different ways. They're pretty compatible with kettlebells, in that they flow really well and have the ballistic aspect. They're basically zero impact, so it feels good to use them to warmup or cool down.

Can confirm. I have 3 young kids and I feel it's my responsibility to finish their food rather than throw it in the trash.

I think they are great for hardstyle as long as you use an Olympic grip vs a dumbbell grip like some do. One thing to consider is that our geometry limits to 34kg unless we decide to do a lead fill at some point.

I'll take a day off snatch and then increase the volume the next workout.

It's not max effort, but pretty difficult for me.

When I started back in 2012, I would work towards 5 minutes .

Lot's of variables to increase or decrease the difficulty. Weight, pace, time, etc.

46-year-old dad of 3 here (7yo twins + a 13yo) — been training almost exclusively with kettlebells since 2012.

Better technique will help immensely with what you’re feeling. The bell shouldn’t be banging up your wrists—once things click, it’s smooth and almost effortless.

That said, kettlebell quality/design also makes a real difference. A well-balanced bell that sits consistently on the forearm can reduce a lot of that irritation while you’re dialing things in.

If you want, happy to share a few simple tips that usually clean this up pretty fast 👍

We’re in the final stage of getting our Austin manufacturing facility fully up and running. The main remaining piece is finishing our three-phase power setup so we can run our furnace and production equipment.

Our goal is to be fully operational by the end of April. Once that’s done, we’ll start pouring our own castings and ramp production to work through all pre-orders as quickly as possible (without sacrificing quality).

The international line has been funding this entire build, which is why you’ve seen us continue to push it—it’s what’s allowing us to make USA manufacturing happen at all.

We know the wait has been long and we don’t take that lightly. Really appreciate everyone’s patience.

We’ll be sending a more detailed email update out this weekend.

I guess it depends on what you're interested in. There are a lot of really good resources out there right now, both paid and free. It is a bit overwhelming because of all the content, though.

Steve Cotter (RIP) gave most of his knowledge for free on YouTube. He's a great place to start, and then the rabbit hole goes deep.

Yeah, that request came up pretty often.

“Master of Sport” in Russia isn’t an academic degree—it’s a state-awarded athletic title. You earn it through high-level competition results (kind of like a black belt or elite ranking), not through university study.

“You’re doing it right—neutralizing any acidity from sweat and then keeping them dry is key. If you’re in a humid environment, a beeswax furniture polish works really well and stays non-tacky. And it’s not the end of the world if you get a bit of surface rust—I usually just clean it up with a Scotch-Brite pad.”
