ken_ji_75 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I saw a weight bench at trinoma where you can attached some plates on it that can be utilized for arm and leg excercise it also has a frame to hold a barbell and the bench can be inclined it cost about 6k and I think it is sturdy enough, the only thing is that it would not fit inside my room hehehe, the size is 6Lx4w (in feet). Also planning to scout those who sell pre owned equipments in our areas or gyms who have old plates.. a liitle steel brush, sand paper and metallic paint and it may be good enough for a less price.

Olympus Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I beg to dissagree my dear friend:) YOU have your opinion, I have mine... and based on what I've seen and done, kettlebell work is a good tool (not the best) to have... dumbbells also have their place as do kettlebells and barbells Quote Link to comment

You have your opinion, and i have mine. Your re entirely right also when you say that barbells, dumbells have their place in a sound program. But the first question raised here was if dumbells can subsitute kettlebells. And i dont think they can due to the difference in shape. You can however do similar exercises ( not all ) but even then, they will not have the same intensity as with kettlebells. The question i asked was if they develop similar attributes. Again i could agree that yes ( not a big yes ) they will develop similar attributes untill a certain level. Kettlebells in my opinion develops way more attributes then dumbells, and in a way shorter time spam. Could you please go a little bit more in detail about the similar attributes they develop? Ps I appreciate your straight forwardness! Looking forward to learn more from you and others. Quote Link to comment
