KETTLESTACK ADJUSTABLE KETTLEBELLS

OK. Here are a few differences between men and women to consider w.r.t. kettlebells or kettlestacks

• Our handle's diameter is 1.35"- just a hair smaller than most cast kettlebells - better for small hands. (although not as small as those "milk jug" 9lb KBs. Krista discusses some of these points (she still owes us some pics with her short-arm model !).
• If you scan the kettlebell forums, you'll see many women asking what weight to start with. This is a non-issue with Kettlestacks. In fact, women often experience a higher initial percentage strength gain than men, so an adjustable is especially attractive for women (unless cast iron doorstops are in short supply).
• Women typically have a larger difference between upper and lower body strength, so a weight that would be challenging for pressing (a 12Kg for example), would be trivial with the swing motion . Again, an adjustable kettlebell is an obvious solution.
• Swings !! There's a world of difference (and benefit) between a light swing and a heavy swing; Weight is all relative- since you're balancing your body against the kettlebell's momentum, you need enough resistance to perform the swing motion correctly. With the swing motion in particular, the quickchange feature allows for a very easy and quick change of +- 20 lbs, so the Kettlestack weight used for swings doesn't have to be the one you press, clean or otherwise.
• The first 4 standard cast kettlebells weights are 9/13/18/26 lbs- That's a big 40 percent jump per increment; We're not stopping you from following the big jump kettlebell doctrine- just providing an easy,cost effective way to "dial in" smaller weight increments if you want.
• We now sell foamdiscs that let you make a big,puffy comfortable Kettlestack with just a few plates.

Those are the major points. Please get back with any other questions.
