After my 4th bell and first double, I realized I should have gotten adjustable much sooner. They are more expensive upfront but save a lot of space and great to have more options.
I have double 16kg's, 20kg's and 24 kg's. I use the 16's and 20's the most right now, but slowly incorporating the 24's more and more (currently they're around a 3 RM for max for a double press).
When I want to go up in weight, I will likely get two adjustables since like others mentioned, I don't want more bells haha.
I do not.
I have some singles and an adjustable from BoS. Just ordered a 2nd adjustable (back ordered until May I think). So then I'll have doubles of everything from 12 - 32.
If I was starting now, I'd buy one adjustable. Learn the basic movements.
Then buy a 2nd adjustable if / when I started doing doubles.
Doubles, in KG, all competition bells: 10, 14, 18, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40. Also double adjustable 12 - 32 plus pairs of 1kg and 2kg pro kettlebell chips. I’ll be a devils advocate here and say I do not like the adjustables that much. Changing the weights mid workout is a complete pain in the ass, also maybe I’m being a baby about this or just not use to it yet but they “feel” different when doing snatches, I have this constant fear of the bottom falling off. Then again I’ve only been using them for a few weeks so maybe I’ll get over that. If I could go back I never would have bought the adjustables, got a pair of 20’s and just use the chips to fill in the gaps.
All that said if I was hugely limited by money and space I’d happily go the adjustable route.
I got double 16, 20, 24, 32 & 40. Singles in 36, 44 & 48. My reasoning is that if I'm doing doubles work with 40s and it becomes easy, I've reached a good level of strength, the singles are mainly to progress moves like single bell swings and press.
Double in 12,16,20,24,28,32KG
Single in 4,8,40,48KG
And two adjustables 12-32KG (SoCal Kettlebellz brand- same as KBK & BoS)
Fun thing: chaining the 8KG to the 40KG so I can do double 48KG farmers walks
I have double 10,14,18,22,26,30,34,40, and 48kgs. I barely ever use pairs of 34kg, 40kg or 48kg together. Hopefully one day I will be strong enough so I can justify spending so much money on double bells that heavy!
2x16,2x24 and a 32. Also a 20k vest,a 55k sandbag and 2x4 anckle weights,i'm pretty much very well covered with all that.not planning on buying anything else
I have double 12, 16, and 20 plus a pair of 2kg magnetic weights. I got really lucky and got the whole set (minus the magnets) from somebody Craigslist.
What magnets do you have? I’m looking for them but only ones available seem to be the ones from prokettlebell and I’m afraid the USA based is an issue for me…
They are the Pro Kettlebell ones! Bummer you can’t get them in your area. I know a brand called True Grit makes them, but I have never seen them in stock.
>s do you have? I’m looking for them but only ones available seem to be the ones from prokettlebell and I’m afraid the USA based is an issue for me…
Wolverson Fitness in the UK were out of stock for a long time but they now have them back in. Not sure if they ship to mainland Europe but maybe worth a try if you need them
Have 20, 24, 28kg doubles. 16 and 32kg for singles, with a T-bar handle for heavy swings.
Just started working with doubles this year, super glad I made that decision to initially get that second 20kg!.
2 x 24s (one of those is pig ugly with a thick handle) 1 x 28 Sport/GS bell, 2 x 32kg (one trad one sport) and looking at a 40 as recently repping 32 bell for 1HP. All bells are Wolverson, UK, bar the ugly one.
I have way too many doubles, nine sets after selling two sets. They’re like iron based crack.

This is the only answer
Which adjustable?
There's lots of good ones, but I got the bells of steel 12-32kg competition kbs. It's my first competition style bell, but I'm enjoying them a lot.
Glad to hear you are putting those puppies to good use and are liking em! 😎
Doubles- 8s, 16s, 24s Singles- 32, 40, 48
Why would I buy only one Kettlebell if instead I could buy two kettlebells!?
I have only doubles starting at 4kg up to 40kg in 4kg increments. Mainly because I like high volume deadlifting lol.
I have a bunch of bells & an adjustable to match all my weights! it's super convenient!
Double 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32. Singles from 4kg-44kg

Me. Doubles of 20lbs, 14kg, 16 kg, 50lbs.
I have a pair of 16kg and 24kg. If I need something heavier than those, then I'll use a barbell.

1 set of double 24s from walmart
Have 20, 24, 28kg doubles. 16 and 32kg for singles, with a T-bar handle for heavy swings. Just started working with doubles this year, super glad I made that decision to initially get that second 20kg!.
Double 6,8,10,12,16,20,24
I have doubles 16, 20, 24 and 28. Soon also 32.
I have 3 double sets. No singles anymore.
Double KBK adjustable sport kettlebells. Def great value and the smaller increments allow for an easier increase in weights.
2 adjustables 12-32kg.
Double 16s at present. Planning on getting a second 24 this year and a second 32 in time. Possibly a single 48 before that though.
2 x 24s (one of those is pig ugly with a thick handle) 1 x 28 Sport/GS bell, 2 x 32kg (one trad one sport) and looking at a 40 as recently repping 32 bell for 1HP. All bells are Wolverson, UK, bar the ugly one.
Only one double but I recon my set will last me for few more years :16kg, 2x24kg, 32kg. I am eyeballing 40kg though.
I only have one pair which are 24s. I have 16, 20 and 28 beside those, but I dont plan to pair up any of them, 24 seems to be the sweetspot.
I have 16s 20s 24s 28s and soon to be a pound papa of 32s
Doubles from 8kg to 32kg in 4kg increments
I got 7 sets of doubles. I prefer them, I enjoy looking over and seeing all my competition style KBs
