To be fair, dumbbells are way more practical than kettlebells, in the sense that you can keep shoring them up with more plates as you go. With the latter you have to buy a new set altogether.

As a rule of thumb if you're looking to maximize weight strength, stick to the dumbells; kettlebells are much more flexible and can be used for cardio and endurance on top of building strength, but that last bit they will never do quite as well as dumbbells or barbells. ;)

Anyway, I wouldn't snoop like that ^^ I'm too straightforward for that. I'd probably ask you face to face out in a really crowded place and in a loud voice if you masturbate... but no need^^ Not like I don't know what you do in your free time :3


Proof :p

And do you mean the fact I play XBOX and write fiction? :p


Proof of what? That I'm straightforward? :3 And yes, that's not what I meant :p

It's possible; very possible indeed.

I have enough with 2 15 pounders as well, although my upper limit are short sets of 20 punders.

What're you after though? Bulk/Mass? Lifting power? Or just fitness in general?
