How would these work with kettlebell training?

Better with kettlebells than pull ups for me. I found them too slick for the bar for kipping pull ups:-)

Yes, I think they would work quite well! They fit on your hands very snugly.

I use them with KB's. They're not very comfortable to me with KB's, but perhaps my hands are too big for the pair I have. It protects your hands from blisters I suppose since I haven't any blisters when using them with the KB's.

Jennifer- If you have experience with the kettlebell then 15lb to 20lb will be perfect to start. I have been doing this video for some time and use 15lb-30lbs depending on the moves, just adjust as needed. :)

There are lighter resistance, more flexible bands in the set which would be good. However, I am not sure that you would need or want the entire set and purchasing some individual bands may be more helpful. Also, the set I got had metal carabiner rings to which you attached and detached a handle depending on desired resistance. That might be problematic. It would likely be better to get a single or even a set that has fixed handles for ease of use/transition between resistances. Stay active!

Hi Bernice, I currently use them with my Les Mills Combat workouts. I did not start using them until a few months in, when I felt stronger and more comfortable with the moves. I would highly recommend them, as they add a challenge without making it too difficult or leaving me sore.

It's very simple. Just hang the hooks on your barbell and then drop the dumbbells onto the hooks and wrap them around with the Velcro.

I would agree with the other answer. These are great and I have used them for leg press and squating. Squat by holding the handles at shoulders and step on band. Leg press. Lay on back, hold handles shoulder height and push band woth feet.

I have used them on every piece of equipment at the gym that I go to and that does include Olympic bars (straight bars, z-bars/curl bars). I've used them on the ropes for my rope pull downs and I have used them on hammer strength equipment. I absolutely love them and they're very versatile. Let me know if that answers your question.

You can tie, suspend dumbbells from the bar if you loop cord around the dumbbell heads. I use two 10# dumbbells and occasionally two 5# ankle weights to get up to 50#. I'm trying to figure out if I can do something similar with my kettlebell (only have 1 15#er). It can work if you give it some thought. But, you can't add PLATES to increase the weight.

I did use them on one 5k row (stationary rower) and they worked ok. There is not any rotation of the hand or sustained weight pulling against them and it was fine. I would still go with a different option for the price tag. I saw a pair of these on eBay recently starting at $0.99 bid and asked the seller what they thought. He had a very negative opinion as well. Hope this helps. Good luck!

That is precisely what I use them for, and they have held up quite well. Good luck and happy training :)

I use an 8 lb kettle bell right now but I want to get a 10 lb for certain exercises. I think 8 is a good starting point, especially if you are new to kettle bells or working out.

The handles will work out great. I use them in my class and I have some big guys in there and they like them. The bands themselves are great I ended up ordering a huge set for the gym and a year later they are still going strong.

For me, these provided much better protection for my hands, while still letting me grip the kettlebell securely.

Depends on your fitness level. Beginner women could start with a 5 or 10 pound kettlebell. Men a 10 to 15. I considered myself an advanced exerciser and I started with a 20 pound kettlebell.

Actually, they can be worn during any physical activity. Since I'm a gym rat they work great during interval or circuit training. Try them either way and I'm sure you'll be pleased.

I use 15-45 lbs depending on the move. I have six kettlebells so I can switch because different moves use different weights. Since this is cardio based, I usually end up sticking to 20 lbs throughout most of the workouts. You may want to use 20-25lbs.

These are THE BEST gloves for kettle bell workouts! I have tried so many other gloves & still got blisters. These are the only gloves that keep my hands blister free & help me get better grip with the heavier kettle bell.
