Arrgggh! I wish I had seen your website a few days earlier! Those prices are below half of dragondoor. I found a place (it was called something like power systems?)t hat was about 1/3 less than dragondoor and their weights were kind of 'between' the usual Russian ones. I ordered a 20 lb KB as a gift to Num-num.

My next order will be from the website you mentioned, a 70 lb'er to complement by 53 lb'er, but it will be a little while before I can justify the expense.

I have 2 different plateloading KBs. They are good for some things like swings, but they don't work well for any of the lifts where they hit your forearm (cleans, snatches, presses). They hit the forearm more sharply and tend to twist the hand to one side or the other. They aer cheaper than real KBs though.

The KB really works the rotator cuff more than DBs in many exercises, like overhead presses, b/c of the weight being off center.

The adjustable kettlebells you requested:
