The power of training with Kettlebells is vastly underestimated by many people in the exercise world these days. However, when you sit down and look at the reasons for this - it's not entirely surprising. Kettlebells used to be a fitness tool used only by the best of the best - not because they are overly difficult to figure out, but instead because they were usually only available in top gyms or sports academies.

Thankfully, you can now benefits from the design of the kettlebell with the Marcy VKBS50 50lbs Kettlebell Weight Set. We recently reviewed the product to see how it stacks up to other more traditional exercise equipment products, and the results are included below.

Marcy VKBS50 50lbs Kettlebell Weight Set Specifications & Features

Weight Design
Immediately, when you look at the Marcy VKBS50 50lbs Kettlebell Weight Set, you'll see that there are no weight plates anywhere to be installed. This is because you don't need any. Each individual kettlebell carries its own weight, which is set and not customizable.

Hence, to achieve a gradual increase in weights, you need to have a set which offers more than one kettlebell. The VKBS50 offers 4 - so that problem is immediately solved.

With this set, you'll get a 20lbs kettlebell (the maximum weight) and also a 5lbs, 10lbs, and 15lbs unit as well. Hence, you'll receive 4 kettlebells in total.

Construction
The four individual kettlebells included with this set are all coated with a rubber material - which is the cause of their shininess. Underneath this coating however is solid cast iron - which offers the mass weight of each unit.

You'll notice that the lower the weight of the kettlebell, the smaller it is - and this is a direct result of the solid cast iron design.

Extras & Add-ons
Kettlebells tend to be more expensive than other pieces of exercise equipment, but with the Marcy VKBS50 50lbs Kettlebell Weight Set - the pricing is relatively modest at just under $200. Hence, we weren't actually expecting any extras or add-ons to come with the pack.

We therefore got a pleasant surprise when we opened the box and found a full sized exercise chart with detailed information on how we could utilize the kettlebells to train different areas of the body. This chart is easy to see from a distance, and is not a total eyesore (hence can safely be put up on the wall!).
