The only wrist wrap designed for Kettlebell Lifting

Master of Sport, Dr. Scott Helsley, wrote a great review of the Kettle Guard, an ICKB Girls innovation.

“The Kettle Guards are a big improvement over both the simple wrist bands and wraps… I did my long cycle set and then I used them for a strongman set of jerks and cleans with the 40kg bell at the AKC booth. I also used them at home in similar sets with 48 and 53kg bells…”

Using Competition Bells Outside of Sport

mayachela — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 22:10:57 +0000

The size and shape of competition bells do not change according to load so they provide great versatility for fundamental strength exercises (outside of kettlebell lifting). Notice the thinner handle; it’s similar to a barbell, but it allows for a great array of grip positions pictured above. 70 lb. dumbbells for example, typically have much thicker handles than the maroon bells Nick is holding. Even the handle on lighter dumbbells, like 15s, don’t have the same diameter as the pink bells Lena is holding. In essence, the competition bells provide a different stimulus in which to apply the traditional deadlift in addition to unilateral lifting.
