Unlock Your Ultimate Workout: The 6 Adjustable Kettlebells That Pros Swear By (And Why You’re Missing Out)

Ever wondered what happens when you take a kettlebell, stretch it out to nearly double its height, and then let it swing with up to 500 pounds of plates? Yeah, me too! I stumbled across Titan’s Loadable Kettlebell Swing, and while it’s not your typical kettlebell—don’t even think about nailing those classic snatches or jerks—it packs a punch for anyone craving serious weight and versatility without breaking the bank. Picture this: a bulky, 19-inch tall swinging beast that’ll have you balancing in ways a regular kettlebell never would. It’s a bit wild at first, feeling like you’re wrestling with a heavyweight giraffe, but trust me, once you get the stance down, the creative moves you can pull off are mind-blowing. From hefty swings to duck walks, carrying heavy plates just got a whole lot more interesting. Now, if you’re eyeing a pure kettlebell substitute, this might not be it—but for the strength junkies ready to load up and level up, this $50 gizmo is a game changer. Ready to rethink your swing?

We’ll admit that this is more of a kettlebell-adjacent tool, but we’re including it on this list because it’s affordable, you can load it up to 500 pounds, it uses weight plates, and you can use it in a few creative ways.

First, let’s be clear: Titan’s loadable handle is not a kettlebell replacement. It’s nowhere close to the dimensions of a standard kettlebell, so you can’t perform classic kettlebell movements like the snatch, clean, and jerk. As the name implies, Titan’s Loadable Kettlebell Swing is for swinging, with the main benefit being that you can load it with hundreds of pounds.

Swinging this handle will not feel like swinging a kettlebell. It’s 19 inches tall, eight inches taller than a competition kettlebell. You’ll probably feel unstable and unbalanced the first few times you swing this handle, as the plates are relatively far from your center of gravity. You’re also going to need to assume a wider stance than you’re used to when using standard kettlebells. A competition kettlebell is 8.25 inches wide. By comparison, some metal 45-pound plates are nearly 17 inches across, and 25-pound plates are almost 12 inches across. We suggest loading 5-, 10-, and 25-pound plates onto the handle so you don’t have to set your stance as wide.

Even though you can’t technically replace a kettlebell with this handle, it’s still a valuable and fun addition to any home gym. Aside from heavy swings, you can perform one-arm rows, upright rows, single-arm farmer’s carries, duck walks, and elevated sumo deadlifts with this handle. We say “addition” to a home gym because this handle is an excellent buy if you own weight plates. Otherwise, you’ll need to shell out extra money for the plates to load this handle.

If you’re looking for a pure kettlebell replacement, Titan’s Loadable Kettlebell Swing is not for you. However, with a $50 price tag and a 500-pound weight capacity, we think serious strength athletes will love this unique tool’s ability to perform heavy swings, rows, elevated deadlifts, and carries.
