There are now 10kg and 14kg Pro Grade Kettlebells in Australia!

Pro Grade Kettlebells Rock!

Now I am a complete kettlebell snob and while I can understand the the Classic bells have their place and most people find them more than adequate to train with, the erognomics of the Pro Grade, their balance for ballistics and their chalkable handle, in my opinion, make them the superior kettlebell - I won't use anything else for my own training and only train my clients using Pro Grade bells.

One of the few downfalls of the Pro Grades was that they went up in 4kg increments, whereas the lighter Classic Kettlebells went up in 2kg increments - now this is being rectified the Pro Grades are becoming an even more desirable choice!

For more information on the differences between Pro Grade and Classic Kettlebells read this article.

How the 10kg and 14kg Will benefit Your Training

The 10kg and 14kg Pro Grade Kettlebells now mean those people who have mastered the 8kg but are struggling with the 12kg, or those who have been using the 12kg but are finding the 16kg really tough, have the perfect bridging weight.

A 4kg jump in weight, particularly for exercises where you're holding the bell in one hand, is a very large jump and can often result in plateaus in kettlebell training.  In Russia, the kettlebells go up in 1kg increments so they can progress more steadily and smoothly with their training, reducing the likelihood of plateaus and sticking points.  Check out the below clip with at 23kg kettlebell!

So reducing the jump to 2kg will make an enormous difference and will make progressions in training much easier.

It also means great exercises such as renegade rows and manmakers can be done with 10kg (the smaller Classic bells just aren't suitable for these exercises becuase they're too unstable).

Renegade Row

The manmaker complex (well, one particularly brutal version of it) is:

  • Renegade row
  • Push up on the kettlebell handles
  • Jump feet in and double dead clean
  • Double rack squat
  • Double push press

Give that a shot with your new 10kg or 14kg Pro Grades!
