Ironwoody KBs

Post by bill fox »

Size matters

All Ironwoody KBs are the same size, like real comp bells are - about the size of a DD 32kg maybe even closer to a 40kg. This means the bell doesn't hit the bone on my wrist, as the 16kg and 24 kg DD do.

Quality wise, the paint chips. They are supposed to be working on this. The handles were smooth although one has a little roughness on the underside of the handle I plan on sanding.

For me they are just way more user friendly. Now I'm 6' and have huge hands. For women, or a shorter guy or a guy with smaller hands it might not make any difference. For me I'm going to buy 50s, 55s and 60s.

My wife and I ordered 2-30's and 2-60's. They were delivered ahead of schedule as per DHL website. Nice.

They are the same size, so you will need to mark them to avoid lifting a heavy and light one at the same time in a quick move. Ouch.

Nice looking and actually huge. I snatched the big one and pressed it, and played around with it generally. This is an active rest day, so I had to curb my enthusiasm. I like these and would buy more. They are well packed in foam and not those stupid styro-peanuts as well.

The handles are straight, but they are set up for "L"-position work, or Renegade Rows.

Iron Woody gave good service, and a nice product. Thumbs up on this one.

Yeah, I've been eying some new KBs. Since I've got the Powermax kbs up to 32 kg, I'm probably going to get nother 24 and 32.

I do want the two bigger ones, though. Probably singles. I am thinking about getting my oldest kid his own for a present, since he's been doing good
on the rkc minimum stuff from ETK.
