Bowflex Kettlebell 25lb

The catalog calls this item a 25-pound kettlebell but does not give a model number. Bowflex's SelectTech 840 is a separate adjustable model with six settings, including 25 pounds, so confirm whether this listing is a fixed bell or the 840 model.

Yes, a 25-pound kettlebell is suited to movements such as swings, cleans, snatches, presses, and Turkish get-ups when the user can control the load safely. The right starting movement depends on technique, because a snatch and a Turkish get-up demand more control than a two-hand swing.

The catalog description calls it cast iron, but the SelectTech 840 uses adjustable plates inside a housing rather than functioning like a traditional single-piece cast-iron bell. Check the model label or product photos before treating the 25-pound listing as a standard fixed kettlebell.

No, the SelectTech 840 manual warns against leaning on the handle or using it to support body weight because the plates or locking parts can be damaged. The manual lists six settings from 8 to 40 pounds and requires the bell to be returned vertically to its base.
