Competition Kettlebells - Vulcan Absolute The patented design of the Vulcan Absolute Competition Kettlebells represents the experience that comes from years of coaching, training, and competing in the sport of Kettlebell Lifting. The patented design of the Vulcan Absolute Kettlebell is unique in many ways and ergonomically designed to increase performance as well as lower the incidence of injury to the wrists and forearms that is common with other Competition Kettlebell designs. Performance and Safety: The design of the Vulcan Absolute Kettlebell allows the handle of the kettlebell to sit further down on the lifters forearm, bringing the majority of the weight proximal to the lifters body . All other designs of competition kettlebell handles fit higher up on the lifters wrist displacing the majority of the weight to a more distal position away from the lifters body. To explain this in mechanical terms: The kettlebell is the load and the elbow of the lifter is the fulcrum point. The further the load is situated from the fulcrum point, the more increased effort is required to move the load, or in the case of the rack position; more work is required to stabilize the load. All of other designs of kettlebells place the load of the kettlebell on the weakest part of the forearm bones structure which is more susceptible to injury. The Vulcan Absolute Kettlebell not only places the load of the kettlebell further down the forearm at a stronger point but distributes more of the weight onto the body of the lifter for increased comfort, control, and safety. Competition Kettlebell Specifications: Constructed of Steel with Unpainted Steel handle; 35 mm Handle diameter at top dead center of handle; Height: 280 mm ; Diameter: 200 mm; Window: 65mm at radiocarpal cup | 55 mm at apex of core to dead center-underside of handle; Hollow Core construction; Colors: 8kg - Pink, 12kg - Blue, 16kg - Yellow, 20kg - Purple, 24kg - Green, 28kg - Orange, 32kg - Red; Construction and Finishing Methods:Vulcan Absolute Kettlebells are constructed of high quality steel. They are guaranteed for life from denting or cracking. There is no filler used to make the weight of Vulcan Absolute Kettlebells. The Vulcan Absolute Kettlebells are constructed with solid steel handles. No toxic heavy metals are used within Vulcan Absolute Kettlebells to create heavier competition kettlebells. The surface of the Absolute Kettlebell is blasted with micro glass beads to create a uniform texture that aids in gripping the handle of the Kettlebell. Absolute Kettlebells easily accept chalk or can be used without chalk. Steel is far more durable than iron and offers a more balanced kettlebell.

I ordered a 16kg competition kettlebell, which is excellent. I really like width of the handle and the finish of the handle. It was packaged very well and shipped quickly.

What makes a great product is the total picture and Vulcan has that nailed. Everything went smoothly from the ordering process to customer service follow-ups (email order status notifications) to the excellent quality of the product. I'm used to traditional kettle bells, so will have to get used to this larger size, Howevet, after several hard workouts I can already see that these bells will be my long term choice as they provide size consistency through weight ranges. A+ for Vulcan!

I recently purchased two 8kg competition kettlebells v2.0. Ordering was easy and they arrived within three days of my online purchase. I have pairs of Vulcan competition kettlebells in 4kg increments up to 24kg and singles of 28, 32, and 36. I really like the grip surface and "window" as well. I made these purchases over time to replace my iron, "hardstyle" kettlebells. I appreciate the uniform size and grip when using the different sizes.

I'm a certified Hardstyle Kettlebell Conditioning Trainer. I train a lot of people, focused on Hardstyle kettlebell Tabata training. I'm on a mission to find the best Kettlebells made; fit-finish, material quality, durability, balance, and handle/window design. The 16kg, 24kg, 32kg Vulcan Competition Kettlebells are truly fantastic. Over the past 10+ years, I've bought, and used a lot of classic, and competition Kettlebells, the Vulacn Competition Kettlebell has the best, fit-finish, feel, balance, and handle/window design I've ever seen or used. I'm all in on these KBs.

I purchased two 16kg competition kettlebells, and now I can never go back to the the iron ones. Two things that impressed me. The wide base gives great stability for movements such as push-ups into one-arm rows. The handle is wide enough for my hands. It is not as much space as if I am holding a bat, but there is much more room than the iron ones I had. The only disappointment was that the paint on one of them chipped after I accidentally bumped them together.

The nicest kettlebells that I have ever seen or used - highest quality by far. The handles work well for me to use for one or two hands, and my hands are about average size. Finish is essentially perfect.

The bottom line is that this is probably the best kettlebell that money can buy. The quality is outstanding. Two features really stand out. The first is the hollow construction, with no fillers. You don't have to worry about fillers coming loose and sloshing around inside your kettlebell. The second is the handle width. You can actually do two handed swings easily with this kettlebell. Overall the construction quality is top notch. The kettlebell seems to come with some type of clear coating on the handle. It would probably come off with use but I chose to remove it. It took all of 30 seconds with some 150 grit sandpaper. Now the handle feels much better. I love the handle, and the "window" feels really good. The bell is well balanced and feels great for swings, snatches, getups etc. My only gripe is that the kettlebell was not packaged well. The box literally wore through completely in 3 spots and the kettlebell was completely exposed (small, 2" diameter spots). This caused some paint chipping in a couple of spots. This is really unnecessary and could have been prevented with smarter packaging. However, it is not an issue for me. This is a fitness tool, and it will get chipped with use anyway. Overall, fantastic kettlebell, simply the best you can buy anywhere. I plan on keeping it for a long, long time. Mike Prevost built-to-endure.blogspot.com
