They call the 106 lbs. RKB the Beast, well meet the "Little" Monster. This 79 pound RKB(yes I said 79 pounds!) is, to be polite, portly, squat and just plain beautiful! It just screams the word solid! I refer to it as a 53 pounder on steroids. It is awesome! One leg standing rows and one leg dead-lifts take on a whole new meaning with this thing. High-pulls become a new form of torture. What to test your form on snatches? Use the "Little" Monster and find out real quick if it is perfect or not! Get-ups, C&Ps, MPs, Swings, Snatches, you name it, it becomes deliciously painful. Swings will really work your grip with this evil Russian! I think this 79 pound size will really take off. It is the usual Dragondoor top quality product that we have all come to expect from Dragondoor. So order up Comrades, thats an order! You won't regret it.

I own 11 kettlebells including this one. Each of the others is an off brand - Power Max or Perform Better. I now wish I had paid the premium for Dragon Door from the beginning. There are a few reasons -

1. Handle finish - This kettlebell arrives with a smooth, round handle with no burrs or blemishes. I cannot say the same for my others.

2. Quality of construction - There is no gapping between where the handle joins the bell. Again, on the cheap ones, that is not the case

3. Uniform bell shape - I am not sure why "sphere" is hard to get right when casting a kettlebell, but apparently it is. Dragon Door nails it.

4. Distance from handle to bell - My Power Max kettlebells have too much distance between the handle and the bell. This results in my 28kg Power Max bell being taller than my 36kg Dragon Door bell. There is a much different feel when using a kettlebell with a shorter handle, and I prefer it.

I am glad I bought this one. As my finances allow, I will trade out my off brand kettlebells for Dragon Doors.

This has been an excellent piece of equipment for me personally. It has allowed me to start bridging the gap between some things I could do with the 70 lb. kettlebell, but not quite do with the 88-pounder. Like snatches, clean and (strict) military presses, high windmills, and 1-handed swings. In time I expect to be able to do all of the above with the 88-pounder. I doubt I would have ever closed this gap otherwise.
