In this video I’m gonna give you the full details of the Powerblock adjustable kettlebell and show you what I like and don’t like about it.  — Steel Build —  Steel shell is powder coated and feels very dense without any plastic parts so it's made to last.  Steel plates stack on top of each other just like Powerblock adjustable dumbbells.  With this configuration, whatever weight I select attaches to the shell.  Everything else stays on the floor.  Magnetic metal pin selects weight ranging from 35 - 62 lbs in 9 lbs increments.  — Compact Design —  Compact design takes up less space than a pair of shoes and replaces 4 kettlebells  Cowbell shaped is unlike traditional round kettlebells but feels balanced and sits comfortably on my forearms.  — Weight Adjustments —  35 - 62 lbs in 9 lbs increments.    The opposite side shows the weight increments in kilos.  Uses a metal pin with a magnetic head that stays in place even with ballistic movements like snatches and swings.  — Uses —  I use this for strength training exercises like shoulder presses, rows, and core exercises  And ballistic exercises like snatches, swings, and push presses  — Warranty —  Powerblock does offer a 5 year warranty for the kettlebell but honestly I don’t see how this wouldn’t last more than 5 years  — Pros —  Space saving:  4 kettlebells in 1 for home gym owners with limited space  Comfortable: Sits on my forearms without any edges digging in  Built like a tank - all metal parts for longevity  Versatile - I can use it for strength training and ballistic exercises  Easy to adjust - there’s nothing to unscrew, I can change weights with the magnetic pin  Cost effective:  The 4 kettlebells it replaces would cost more than $300 so if you know you’re gonna be buying more than one kettlebell, this is a smarter buy than getting each one individually  — Cons —  Shape: Unusual shape may turn some people off especially those who are used to working with traditional kettlebells but I personally haven’t had any issues with it  Powerblock Adjustable Kettlebell Review | This Weird Shaped Adjustable Kettlebell Saves TONS of Space

00:00this odd shade kettlebell is surprisingly comfortable on my forearms it's all steel

00:10so there's no plastic parts that can break it adjusts in seconds without having to unscrew

00:14anything and takes up less space than a pair of shoes so in this video i'm going to give you all

00:19the details about the power block kettlebell first i'll talk about the build there's three components

00:23to the power block adjustable kettlebell you have the outer shell the weight stack and then the

00:28weight selector pin so i'm going to start off here with the outer shell so the shell is all steel

00:32there's no plastic parts involved in this so it's going to be impossible to break this and the outer

00:38shell is hollow on the inside and lined with rubber and this is going to sit on top of the weight stack

00:43now as far as the the outer part of the shell it's powder coated it's not slippery and the handle

00:50itself is very wide so i have enough room enough room to place both arms here so if i'm doing

00:54something like a kettlebell swing i don't feel like my my hands are squished together there's enough

00:59space here for me to grab and i feel like there's there's no room so i like that that there's enough

01:04space the diameter of the handle itself is 36 millimeters so it's a it's a little bit wide so i

01:10definitely feel it on my forearms and my grip whenever i'm doing ballistic exercises like kettlebell

01:14snatches now if you look here there's um there's numbers here on the front these numbers are in pounds and

01:20this is going to replace four kettlebells so the shell itself without any weights is 35 pounds and

01:25it goes to 44 53 and 62 and you see there's three holes and those are where i select the weight now if

01:31i turn it around to the other side this is showing me the weight in kilos whatever you want to work

01:35with whether it's kilos or pounds you have the option to do so now now that i showed you the uh the

01:42shell comes the weight stack so the weight stack these are nine pound weight plates and they're cone

01:48shaped just because they're going to fit inside here so they have to conform to the shape of the

01:52shell and they stack right on top of each other and if you look closely there's holes on each one

01:56of these and the reason for that is because that's where the selector pin goes the selector pin is all

02:01metal there's a plastic end cap here and then the inside of the end cap has a magnet on it so it's

02:07magnetic so it it's not going to move whenever i'm doing exercises i haven't had any issue especially

02:12when doing snatches i haven't had any issues with this falling out and this works just like the

02:17power block adjustable dumbbells do where i insert a pin lift what i'm going to work with and the

02:22rest stays behind so i'm going to show you that right now so i'm going to insert this in here

02:27if i want to select 44 pounds i insert the pin into the 44 pound slot lift it off and you see now

02:33there's only two weight plates the other one is going to be in here and it works the same if i want

02:38to change the weight so if i pull the pin out you're going to see now there's the stack the three

02:44weight plates are stacked on top of each other so it's that simple that's something that i really

02:48like about this this kettlebell is that there's nothing to unscrew i simply select my weight in a

02:55matter of seconds and i'm ready to work so there's nothing to unscrew i've seen other kettlebells where

03:01you have to unscrew put more plates take more plates out whatever it is to adjust it that's going

03:06to take a lot of time so this is is very fast i like that it's all metal so it's going to last a long

03:13time and i mean it's very basic but it gets the job done all right so i'll talk about the design

03:17now this is obviously different than other adjustable kettlebells it's shaped like a cowbell

03:22but surprisingly it's very well balanced now if i put it here on my forearm as long as i'm holding

03:27this correctly this flat part is going to be sitting right on top of my forearm the edges here around it

03:33so there's nothing like a 90 degree angle to hit me right on the forearm and a lot of kettlebell work

03:38it's going to be based on technique so as long as i'm using the right technique for exercises like

03:43a kettlebell snatch or a clean i shouldn't have any problems on my forms i shouldn't have any

03:47pain or the or the kettlebell slamming on my forearm that's more technique based now this is compact so

03:52it's going to take up less room than a pair of shoes so if you're somebody that has very little space

03:58but wants a piece of equipment that can do a lot because you can do strength training with this you can do

04:03ballistic exercises you can do ec core exercises just about anything you can think of it's just a little

04:08bit different because the weight distribution is not the same as a dumbbell but if you're somebody

04:13that likes to do to work a lot with kettlebells then this is not going to take up as much space as

04:19four as having four separate kettlebells now when it comes to the price this is 300 bucks but i did the

04:25math and if you were to buy all the different weight increments this goes up to 35 pounds 44 53 and 62

04:32if you bought each kettlebell separately you'd be paying more than 300 bucks so not only is it compact but

04:37it's also going to save you money which i like especially in a home gym where you want a piece

04:41of equipment that's not going to take up a lot of room and if you can get it for cheaper than multiple

04:46pieces of equipment that do the same thing then this is a no-brainer when it comes to weight increments

04:50the majority of kettlebells go up in four kilo increments or nine pound increments and this is the

04:55same when when there's no weight selected here it's going to be 35 pounds and it's going to go to 44 53 and 62

05:01if you're working pounds if you're working kilos then the other side is going to have 16 20 24 and 28.

05:07now one thing i wish there was or a company that would provide this is uh something to go up in

05:13smaller weight increments just because when you start getting up in weight here let's say if i'm at 24

05:17kilos and i wanted to jump to 28 kilos that's a nine pound increment there so for something like a

05:22kettlebell snatch that's a big jump so if there was something like like what micro gains does where you can

05:28add little smaller weight increments that would be great just because it would help me to

05:33progressively overload but at the same time i wouldn't have to mess up my technique when doing

05:38ballistic exercises or any other exercises so as far as weight increments go nine pound increments you have

05:4435 44 53 and 62 pounds so this thing can get real heavy especially with the weight distribution not being

05:52the same as dumbbells with kettlebells everything feels heavier so now i'll give you my pros and cons this

05:57design is not going to take up a lot of space you have four kettlebells in one and it's going to take

06:01up less space than a pair of shoes so if you're in a small area where you don't have a lot of space

06:06then this is perfect for that type of environment where you're not going to take up a lot of room but

06:10you're going to be able to use it for a lot of stuff number two this is extremely comfortable even

06:14though it's it's shaped like a cowbell it feels very comfortable on my forearm there's nothing poking at

06:20me on the forearm it has round edges and then the flat side here is just going to sit right on top

06:26of this area of my forearm here so very comfortable number three is going to be the build this is all

06:31metal all metal no plastic pieces so it's going to be very durable and number four is going to be the

06:37adjustment the adjustment of the weights is very quick i set this on top of the weight stack select

06:44my weight and then i can work with whatever is attached to this so it's very quick another thing

06:50is here is that power block offers a five-year warranty i don't see this breaking anytime soon

06:57but you know in case something happens then you have that warranty to cover you but as far as

07:02everything else goes i think it's a very durable piece of equipment now as far as the cons go the

07:08shape is probably what's going to turn a lot of people off just because it's not a traditional

07:11kettlebell shape but like i said before you know it's very comfortable and as long as you're

07:16getting the technique down on all the different exercises the shape is not going to bother you

07:20and another con that i have is that i wish there were weight increments that were smaller i know

07:24kettlebells work in four kilo increments or nine pounds but if there was something in between there

07:30to help you to to maintain your form as you go out and weight increments that would be excellent

07:35just to make it easier to progressively overload without killing your technique so who's this for well

07:39this is going to be for people that like to work with kettlebells and don't have a lot of space

07:43just because this is four kettlebells in one now if you're somebody that wants to start getting into

07:47kettlebell training power block also does sell a smaller weight increment kettlebell now this one

07:53goes from 35 to 62 i can't remember the other increments on the other one but they're smaller but

07:58that way you can progressively overload as you get stronger and you get better at working out with

08:02kettlebells so that's it that's my review on the power block adjustable kettlebell if you like the
