I’ve looked at over a dozen kettlebell movements and have only found a couple at most that you cannot do with a dumbbell. Primarily swinging movements. If swinging weights around at the risk of your joints is your thing, then jump on the fad. In fact, some of the kettlebell movements commonly promoted have nothing to do with kettlebell design, for example, deep pushups. LOL! You can do those with anything including a couple stacks of books. While kettlebells have been around for over 100 years, it seems that recently they’re a fad that is begging for constant justification.
Difference isn't about size It's about momentum The dumbbell is equally balanced, and doesn't swing the way a KB does KB is weighted with a lower centre of gravity Try and understand the subject you are posting
@@Lee-sd8uoWow! Just don’t even post that comment. There is nothing intelligent in it. It’s just science. BOTH apparatuses are dead weight. Neither of them move spontaneously. They both require the user to move them. They also both weigh the same. It’s as simple as setting them both on a scale. 25 lbs is 25 lbs. Swing a 10 lbs dumbbell with the same velocity as you swing a 10 lbs kettlebell and they still weigh the same.
You'll rarely see someone with as much muscle using kettlebells rather than dumbbells but you'll never see anyone move as well and be as functionally fit and strong as the one who uses kettlebells over dumbbells. It's not that dumbbells are better for muscle growth its simply the fact that people gravitate towards kettlebells to move better not look bigger but more poorly
Stating your point with absolutes like “you never see anyone” destroys the credibility of your opinion. I think the reality of it is not the kettlebell or dumbbell, but the people. People on the kettlebell fad tend to work more cardio and endurance type exercises rather than strength exercises. Kettlebellers like to flail and swing weights around while weight lifters like to lift weights against gravity.
