Review:
          This product is similar to the original Weider adjustable kettle bell I reviewed in that they operate in the same way how ever these kettle bells have a redesigned shape. The problem I had with the other Weider kettlebell was where it would impact your arm on the top corner of the kettlebell which hurt a lot and caused bruising and soreness. These rounded versions are now more in the shape of a traditional kettlebell which spreads the impact over more surface area. The Julian Michaels versions looks identical to the Weider kettlebell with the only difference being the color of the weight changing latch is blue. Like I said in my previous review I wouldn't recommend dropping this on the ground as I can see it damaging the mechanism or the weights themselves as I am unsure of what exactly they are made of. To see the review of the original Weider kettlebell click Here. Because they did improve the design of the kettle bell I give this version 3 fists out of 5
