Kettlebell training will turn you into a beast.
The swing is the basic movement and can easily be done with a dumbell.

Here's what I'm asking
Man, I think this is a legit question, and I guess I didn't get my message across. Originally Posted by P-funk

There's a serious group of people out there who are increasingly demonstrating that kettle bells bring fexibility and strength to the table. I can't tell if this would compliment my routine and replace some of the daily dumbell clanging, or if its just a step above simple exercises.
Thats what I'm asking.

There's nothing magic about kettle balls. They're just dumbells with different handles.

But but those strongmen in the cartoons were always lifting 70kg triangle shaped kettleballs
Ron Paul 2012
No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

kettlebells are not dumbells. The are cannonballs with a handle welded to them. All of the movements engage the core, and usually have a big range of motion. Great for strength and metabolic condidtioning.
Add the swing to your warmup. As far as athletic performance goes, kettlebell training smokes isolation based weight training.
