Sorry for the dumb question, but as someone with a set of powerblocks dumbbells, am i missing much not having kettlebells? I know kettlebell swings look great. But otherwise it seems like a lot of movements can be done with dumbbells. So do people tend to invest in dumbbells or kettlebells but not both?

I like kettlebells for ballistics—swings and snatches. Shoulder press feels better than a dumbbell for me too. Also complexes like going from a row, deadlift, to single arm swing, clean, pressing from different shoulder angles, squat, reverse lunge and switching it to the other hand and doing the same in one flow. Sometimes doing it with doubles. Still use dumbbells for some isolation, but kettlebells just feel better to me. YMMV

Video might help too https://youtu.be/cQNf8AW3x3s

If I'm doing complexes I typically stick to a single weight--whether singles or doubles. On heavy days during the week, I dedicate a day doing my own twist on Dan John's Armor Building Complex, Strongfirst's Moving Target complex with doubles, and Strongfirst's Deep Six with a single. and a 15 minute EMOM heavy swings to close things out. For that I choose an 18KG, 20KG, or a 23KG for the complexes depending how I'm feeling, and a 32KG at the end for the heavy swings. So each training session I only need 2 weight variations--one for the complex and one for heavy swings. That's one weight switch.

Honestly, I don't know what kind of circuits you see people running, but if weights gotta be switched around that much during a circuit with kettlebells, that sounds like an inefficient circuit, training modality or program.

I watched a review on these kettlebells and it only takes a minute or two to switch out:

Also depending on your goals you might not need to adjust it every workout.
Like you said, if you were only using kettlebells for a single or perhaps 2 exercises it might not matter. I find a lot of people use them in a circuit though; an hour of exercise could necessitate countless weight changes. Either they need almost instant weight adjustments or will require more than one kettlebell. This tooled design seems silly unless you want a kettlebell that will 'grow' with you but functionally is a single weight.

You absolutely want to be able to microlaod the kettlebell. It makes it much easier to progress. I use kettlebells every work out and rarely change weights. Kettlebells are more of an endurance type of tool, you want to progress with volume/time moreso than weight. These are much cheaper than buying separate kettle bells
You basically confirmed a lot of what I was saying.

Rarely change weights > you only need a few individual kettlebells to cover your training

Endurance tool, progress with volume/time > again only need a few kettlebells and make your progression with time/reps.

Powerblocks leave little room for wrist flexion when doing certain exercises like forearm stuff. I have the 90lb Powerblocks and think this might make a great addition.

Literally us the same weights for about an hour of exercise. Also, even if you buy 3 or 4 of these. You are more likely going to save money than buying all the bells
And yes, it's great that they can "grow" with you

Going from a 24k to a 32k is not easy. These make it easy

and they are not significantly more expensive

I started my KB journey with the Bowflex KB's. They are very easy to switch weights out but I found my self hardly switching weights and quickly outgrowing the 40lb weight limit.

I started purchasing individual kettlebells. A 50lb KB runs about $75+ and a 70lb KB runs about a $100+.

This would give you weights from 25-70 for $180. Its a no brainer as far as price goes. I'm not sure why someone would constantly need to adjust weights during a KB specific workout unless they are starting off too heavy or too light. Once you figure out a weight that both pushes you but doesnt sacrifice form, you can stick with it for a while before adding more weight.

I plan on selling my individual bells and use these.

Just my 2 cents..

It depends what's more important to you, budget and storage space vs workout efficiency and convenience. No one's arguing this bell is better than normal kettlebells, but it gives a lot of flexibility to a home workout. If you have the budget and space then feel free to buy several sets of bells.

I turned one of my car bays in my garage into a gym. It's already overloaded with stuff, including 3 different weighted kettlebells. The adjustable kettlebell let's me do two bell workouts and also have access to more options with single bells, and if I like it enough I'll sell my other kettlebells and buy another adjustable.

I have also travelled for work with kettlebells before, so now I only need to bring one bell on week long trips. For someone who does kettlebell workouts but isn't super intense about them the weight adjustment annoyance isn't a big deal.

I honestly can't tell if this whole thread is a meme, sarcasm or serious.
One time I dropped a 25kg kettle bell on my foot and it looked like Barf's foot from Spaceballs:

I replaced 8 hardstyle kettlebells with 2 of these, and have been using them for about a year now. Prior to that, I was using hardstyle for 4-5 years. My primary motivation for switching was spaced as I moved to a smaller apartment, but I would still recommend these whether it's your first or twentieth kettlebell.

These are straight up the best value in kettlebells. You will easily spend $1k+ getting every weight separately. You can also add fractional plates to get even more different weights.

If you're following a program where you use one weight for the entire workout as I did when running Geoff Neupert's Giant program recently, these are still great because being able to progressively overload has saved me from making big jumps and getting injured in the past.

I'm currently running Joe Daniel's Kettlebell Only Muscle Growth program (KBOMG) which starts with heavy sets followed by light/medium sets. For example, 5 sets of 3-5 reps of double rack front squats for heavy, and 5x5 of light/medium cleans or snatches. Switching the weights takes less than a minute once you get used to it. I'm also much more confident that the simple screw and washer mechanism will last longer than the dial mechanisms used in other adjustable kettlebells.

Also as others have mentioned, once you get used to competition style kettlebells, the fact that every weight is the same size is great!

Thanks for the heads up on the "Dan John's Armor Building Complex." Looks good. The circuits I run (and see others do) are a changing mix of exercises, kettlebell centric which are a mixture of strength but with some exercises having enough reps to be borderline aerobic. Hard to use the same kettlebell when doing squats and side raises unless you are planning to do 150 squats or 2 side raises.

Yep! Yw. Cool. Definitely makes more sense in your situation to have more bells and sizes for sure

If you only want to do kb swings, you could try these cheap adjustable ones- see below.

I like kettlebells for a variety of exercises and purchased this type of cheap adaptable ones early in pandemic.

https://www.amazon.com/Yes4All-Ke...085FY4QBY/

https://www.amazon.com/NewMe-Fitn...B07ZPCNHPL

I got the first link above to use with adjustable dumbbells. Turns out they are a great cheap way to do kettlebell swings, but most other dynamic exercises it just doesn't. No cleans or snatch.

I upgraded soon after to real kettlebells.
