Thank you so much for this video. Your content is so helpful easy to follow. I have a question because I do not use kettlebells, but is this 40lb a practical size? It looks so big , I don't know if it would be too big, especially for a shorter guy as myself. Can we add something to the concrete to get the weight at a smaller size?
Good idea overall, but next better option is to use rounded plastic jar, which is rounded on top and bottom and leave it to for good finish surface. I made two, just pick some stones from local river, they are about same density as concrete. I make handle longer and fit stones in between. Very sturdy weights.
Nice. But you can refine the handle form by making handle jigs. Trace the desired handle shape on the plyboard then drill long screws along the pattern outline. Then you can place the softened pvc inside the fence made by the screws. If you want you can exchange screws with dowels to increase the height of the fence. Also, inserting nails in the ends on the pvc would prevent it from sliding out of the set concrete. Hope this helps.
My thought exactly. Plus you'd have that sharp edge digging in your wrist and forearm, rather than a rounded surface. Can use this design for KB swings and rows...but not much else
Brilliant idea with pvc and hot sand 👌
Great idea and as a woodworker it double as a project weight during glue ups!
Fantastic idea with heating of the sand! 🤟🏻
Thanks! 👍

You are the man sir.
You doing great brother love it
This is freaking awesome!
Really inspiring stuff, thanks for sharing bro.
Appreciate it!
what if you dip the plates in liquid rubber?
You could definitely do that
Thought of that exactly. I would be worried about the concrete slowly chipping off over time.
@@LuKe31197 you would have to dip it a couple of times but it would hold.
Sounds like a job for flex seal
How did you sink in the pvc handle? Was there an anchor needed?
No anchor needed. Just sink the handle into the wet concrete and vibrate/shake to settle the concrete around the handle

Yeah those are some good points
more vids!!
You should make some dumbbell's.
I have made dumbbells too, just haven't made the video yet
@@concretegainz368 Would love to see them.
Can you make dumbbells?
Yes I make those as well. Have not made a video about that yet
Are you ex Army or Marine? Can people invest in your company?
Hey Christ, no I'm not. And thanks for asking about investing. The best way to support me is spread the word and share the video. Thanks!
Wrong shape, it's not ergonomic for the clean and snatch move.

Fuckin smart
What crappy "functioning" kettlebells.The way you made them will easily hurt your wrists.
Well I guess you shouldn't use them
Haa great comment 😏
Move along then 🤡
