razorsedge Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 John brookfield mentions training with thick handled kettlebells but, he made his. Where can I get some thick handled KB's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andurniat Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I believe Ader makes some thick handled ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judoboy Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 how thick is thick? most k'bells have pretty chunky handles anyway. i use thick handles on my DB's (2") and also have a 2" axle. BUT for me, k'bells give a different kind of workout for grip, much more dynamic. you could always add tape, or a sleeve to an existing k'bell handle to increase diameter, if you like. i recall seeing this in a diesel crew article some time ago. as a general rule: k'bells rule!

razorsedge Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I would consider 2 inches thick. I know powermax handles are pretty thick, thicker than my wallet though, and all these other companies are out with KBs I figure someone would make wallet massaging( not deep tissue) thick handled KBs.

bentpresser Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Max Trainer (PA) or Maximum Fitness and Nutrition made or still makes them, and they weren't expensive. I had several, most memorable was a 95# with a thick handle, came out to around 99#. Depending on the exercise, a handle too thick interferes with optimal wrist/forearm alignment in various positions. That 99# was ok though.

acorn Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 You could also try doing them with thick gloves on. I find a similar training effect. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Wearing a pair of those cheap brown cotton gloves with your KB movements will fry your grip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Wearing a pair of those cheap brown cotton gloves with your KB movements will fry your grip! yep. I did a set of 100 KB snatches awhile back with welding gloves on and it was disturbing how much my hands were torched at the end. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
