Description
Overview
At 6 kg, this York kettlebell is the heaviest of the lighter bells and a sensible first bell for genuine power work rather than technique drills. York specifies it for core strength, core stability and power training.
Like the rest of the York range, the bell has a vinyl outer and soft feet to prevent damage to the workout area, so senior students can set it down firmly between sets without the caretaker worrying about the hall floor.
Key benefits
- Enough load for powerful two-handed swings and cleans at 6 kg.
- Vinyl outer and soft feet protect wooden floors and rubber matting.
- Built for core strength, stability and power, York's stated purpose for the range.
- One of a run of weights, so athletes can progress within the same design.
Who it's for
This is the bell for senior secondary students, club athletes and adults who already know the kettlebell swing and want to load it. Beginners and younger students should start with the York Kettlebell (2kg) or York Kettlebell (4kg) and earn the step up. Athletes who outgrow 6 kg quickly can move to the York Kettlebell (8kg) or the 10 kg bell.
Coaches setting up a strength corner can add a couple of Rubber Hex Dumbells 6kg Ea alongside for pressing work.
Care, safety and set-up
Store on the soft feet, not on its side, so the vinyl and feet stay intact. Wipe the bell after use. The feet handle normal set-downs; do not throw or drop the bell onto hard floors.
