🏋️ First Look: the NEW Rogue Loadable Mace

• Coop unboxes the new Rogue Stainless Steel Loadable Mace.

• We took the Titan Fitness Loadable Kettlebell for a swing.

• Our experts narrowed down the best Garmin fitness trackers.

Titan Fitness Plate Loadable Kettlebell Swing Review

The best adjustable kettlebells help save space in a garage gym by replacing multiple sets of kettlebells. Still, even the best ones rarely go above 70 pounds. For the weightlifter or powerlifter in all of us, sometimes we just want heavier weights.

Titan Fitness has addressed this with its plate-loaded adjustable kettlebell. It’s capable of holding 500 pounds, well over the heaviest weight most people would want in their kettlebell. For a heavy kettlebell swing or deadlift, this kettlebell has you covered.

With that much weight on it, does it still have the feel of a traditional kettlebell? We’re here to answer that question. For our Titan Fitness Plate Loadable Kettlebell Swing review, we’ll go over the kettlebell’s construction and performance in use to see who it’s best suited for, and if it’s worth being your next home gym addition.
