Forgive me, i've just returned from a long hiatus. I will be utilizing this fully for my preparation for SFAS Round 2. Thank you and continue to make a great product. CD, Sgt US Army, Iraq
To whom it may concern I purchased a pair of the kettle stacks a few months ago (@5) and I think theyre great, I also train with some of the other kettle bell products but the adjustability and price of yours is great, not to mention the fact I think your customer service is an A+..

I've had it (the Kettlestack) for two weeks- Great product. I'm getting the groove of these workouts and looking forward to cranking it up- maybe buying a 2nd. LG , Nevada
I have been training with a kettlestack for couple weeks now and I must admit I was a bit skeptical at first. But now I have no doubts that I can use this for my training goals. Not only is it adjustable in weight, but you can also customize the distance of the stack to the handle. More on kettlebells !!
The main advantage I see from adjustable kettlebells is "price", in a sense of the word. I have four kettlestacks (www.kettlestacks.com) and they function as a complete set of kettlebells from 10lbs up to >100lbs. Some people will say there is an advantage to progression, and that the large jumps in traditional sizes are a disadvantage, but I don't see that as an issue, for the most part. Varying the resistance by varying the sets reps works just fine.
Price flexibility is the big deal to me. Depending on how I want to work that day, I can adjust the kettlestacks to what I want to do (it's easy, doesn't take much time at all). For example, any given workout I can use (2) 1-pood, and (1) 1.5-pood and (1) 2-pood, or any other combination of the above, or go higher or lower than the above in any combination. Buying the four stacks and all the standard plates set me back around $300, but I have a complete set of kettle bells, 1, 1.5, 2 and >2 KB's. I agree with an earlier post about not throwing adj KB's. That's a disadvantage if and only if you plan to do throwing movements. Also, I can use my std plates that I bought for my kb's for my std dumbells. More on kettlebells !!
