“VULCAN makes hands down, or rather hips hinging forward, the best KB's on the market! I have handled them all and own 4 other premium brands... though I am selling the others off. I have been recommending VULCAN to everyone. Sure you could feel like you're saving money when buying a cheap 35# to start as a beginner, but really building quality form is safer with this shape bell and handle. 300 correct reps for your brain and muscles to KNOW a movement... 5,000 correct reps to fix and retrain BAD habits and patterns. Too many of my friends have a power-robbing squatty pattern because they started with a WIIIDE handled bell. Sure at first that seems better for two-hand grip and stability... but the cutout of the interior of the VULCAN is so ergonomic that it fits two hands great despite being narrow. Plus, strength and grip gains come so fast with KB training that you'll likely be doing one-handed swings soon (so much more glute activation... more hingey less squatty naturally). The narrow horn handle allows for proper body mechanics for the swing (clean form and posture is much more natural as there is no wide handle to avoid with the knees or thighs). The grip is smooth enough to avoid cheese-grated hands and textured enough to have some friction and confidence the bell won't fly through a wall even after getting sweaty. I have the 16kg-20kg-24kg and just got the 32kg. The 16-24kg are identical in shape size and texture. The 32kg is slightly smoother, shinier and the handle is a little less girthy. At first I thought they had sent a COMPETITION/PRO style in error... then I remembered those are all painted bright colors. I love the training version. Best bang for the buck and no paint to chip. My only gripe is the 32kg is currently the heaviest on their website. I have an off brand 88# that's chipping but I would love a 100# and a 120#+ from VULCAN if they someday make those. PS The 32kg sleeps at the foot of my bed. Been doing Pavel's "Simple and Sinister" every morning. PR'd Deadlift and Squat by 40#+ each.”

“By far the best Kettlebell I've purchased. The construction is second to none and is able to withstand a lot of abuse. I take it with me on the road all the time and am able to get in workouts anywhere anytime.”

“Always wanted the "competition" sized kettle bells, but bulked at the cost. These bells gave me the shape and handle I wanted, at a cost conscience cast iron. Very excited about them!”

“After being introduced to kettlebell exercises I wanted my own to use at home, and carefully researched characteristics of good quality kettlebells (a lot of information!). My husband wanted to go cheap, but I wanted a kettlebell that was both attractive AND durable, and I finally settled on the Vulcan Kettlebell. It took a while to arrive (I'm in Oregon) but I couldn't be happier or more pleased with my Vulcan Kettlebell! The 8 kg is heavy enough and perfect for my exercises, it feels good in my hands (plenty of room to get a good grip without my hands feeling "squeezed" in); and I just really like the simple, basic black design and that it's made of a one-piece powder-coated hollow steel casting. The engraved lettering, "Vulcan", "8 kg", and "USA" adds a very attractive and unique character to the appearance of the kettlebell and I even use it as a door-stop when I'm done using it. It was worth the money I spent, and I'm VERY glad that I went with a Vulcan Kettlebell!”

“Comfortable enough to not bruise my forearms like other kettlebells. Is wide enough for 1 or 2 hand swings. Nice quality”

“These kettlebells are the best. I love the advantage of GS style pro kettlebells with the uniform sizing as well as the wider handles to accommodate two hand movements and swings. These are the best of both worlds. Also, I used to be a foundryman before going to college, and I'm impressed with the quality of the casting. These steel bells will outlive us all. I taped off the handles and sprayed them the official colors with Rustoleum (John Deer Green, Yellow, Orange and Red) for a "dipped" look. They turned out beautifully! Very happy with these purchases.”

“What can I say this Kettlebell is amazing, the craftsmanship is dead on it has a great shape, handle and feel. its totally balanced and swings like a dream. The finish is solid and the sizing is really cool because it stays the same regardless of weight. Can't wait to get strong enough to upgrade to my next one!”

“Can't beat Vulcan's kettlebells. The quality of these is amazing compared to the competition especially when you consider the very competitive pricing. You're getting a competition style kettlebell that stands the test of time for about the price of other company's rough-handled, variably-sized, rusted, and chipped kettlebells. You can't go wrong here.”
