Did they redo their website recently? The site I was on (lifelineusa.com) was pretty straightforward. And yeah, I couldn’t find a better price anywhere else.

I kind of like the surface on the handles though, it’s a bit rough, but the grip I get on these is so much better than epoxy or smooth finishes. I have huge hands, and the thick handle is such a great change from other brands I’ve used in the past.

Overall, I haven’t had a complaint about the Lifeline bells. Love the DD’s too, but damn….. $$$$$$$$

The 35lb Lifeline USA kettlebell was delivered this week, and got a chance to try it Friday. (not sure what happened to the ebooks)

The handle is thicker than the handle on my GoFit 25lb kettlebell.. A bit harder to keep a hold on.. Wish it were a touch thinner..

Besides that, seems to be great. Started out using the Lifeline USA 35lb KB for 30 swings, then 2 sets of 30 w/ the old 25, a break then repeated.. 30 (35lb), 30, (25lb), 30 (25lb). .. Looking forward to more use.

Randy,

Unless I’m mis-reading the site, Lifeline USA Kettlebells are “Made in the USA”..

That’s how I found them, I was looking for something NOT made in China for a change..

From the site -

“Description

The most popular workouts today involve kettlebells. It’s no surprise. Kettlebells offer a much greater range of motion for increased muscular endurance. Due to the displaced center of gravity, kettlebells are much harder to control, placing increased demands on agility, core stabilization and coordination.

100% made in the USA!

Kettlebells come with:

One Kettlebell
Three E-book training guides sent via email”

Shrug..

Placing my order today.. Guess we’ll see.

I would worry about sanding anything made in China because of the possiblity of lead paint. Buy a bell that doesn’t sanding.

Full disclosure: I am a RKC and I am able to pick the bells up instead of shipping them.

Hi Denis,

Great site! I was wondering about where you got your postural training and how you use it in your kettlebell training? Also, I’m looking to buy some kettlebells for my training studio and was wondering what your take is on competition sized bells. My teacher, who has certs in RKC, AKC, and IKFF likes the AKC bells because they are all the same size and easy for people to transition with when they move up in weight. I looked at the elite bells from perform better but they are epoxy coated. I know that from using bells from kettlebell connection, epoxy can be both slippery and sticky. What are your objective thoughts on purchasing a line of bells that most people will find enjoyable to work with?

Sincerely,
Erik Petersen
