Onnit Primal Kettlebells | Do they work?

[@Onnitofficial]

Great video Levi!

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Thanks guys, these things get worked hard! And my kids love them haha. Keep making awesome stuff.

[@caseywilson5812]

Of course they aren't worth it, but they are cool.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Agreed!

[@mike90susanoo84]

I own the gorilla one, it ain't that bad. It's just their ears can be in the way

[@xXPridefulPandaXx]

4:54 is all I came for, just ordered all 4 as my first kettlebells. I too sometimes love cool things just cause they’re cool things

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

2 years in and we are still using them multiple times a week. I definitely dont regret them

[@bobqwhite1267]

I agree with you! I own 6 and love the way they look.

[@MartinD9999]

Thanks for pointing out the sharp edges.

[@farmdaddy510]

I wanted to get a full set but the shipping was as expensive as the kettle bells were! I’m sticking with CAP

[@prof113]

The Bigfoot head kettlebell is 90.4 pounds. I have a pair for rows and shrugs. They are awesome.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

YES! I am missing the big ones. Don't tempt me haha.

[@CCF_Christopher]

Nice kettlebell collection x great video. I used these Primal Kettlebell before and I love the way they feel. Kettlebell Front Squats Kettlebell Deadlift Kettlebell RDL’s Kettlebell Swings

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Thank you sir! Glad you’ve gotten your hands on them. Those exercises are all you need. Brutal fundamentals!

[@MorethanGUNZ]

Great honest review! Hope you continue to grow.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Thanks for watching! The channel has come a long way since this was uploaded

[@bigx5murf]

I had to buy more, my wife stole the howler and chimp from me when she saw them. She thinks they're cute. I'm only missing the big foot currently.

[@Tha81stGod]

Great review Family ! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Thanks brother!

[@TheChris403]

If you are buying kettlebells for personal use, then they will probably last a lifetime. Therefore, yes buy these badass looking kettlebells instead of boring normal ones. You will smile every time you see them.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

That's a great point. I still love them, coming up on two years in the garage!

[@lgonzalez8635]

For the price and the smooth finish I think perform better kettlebells are some of the best out there. These look cool but not worth the pain.

[@seehongkongsea]

I was worried for the dog sitting in front of the swing exercise. Good video, I have a pair of the 72Lbs. Love them.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

She's a professional Gym Dog, haha. Pairs of 72lbs is big time!

[@harveykosowski2953]

Motivation through swag! 🤘

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Exactly! I’m all about the grit and grind but sometimes it’s nice to have some cool stuff to train with too.

[@jesseleemacy]

Great job on the video man. Thank you for the information.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@AkiraHDR50]

I wanted one, But because I live in the UK the delivery price was twice as much as the kettlebell.

[@bobdole7292]

3:00 dude that clean... 5:30 that swing.. the fuk yall doing

[@dionisioramirez6706]

My personal opinion they are not worth the price tag. That being said if you find them used for a good price and you want them then buy them at a fraction. I had seen a few go online used for a fraction. I prefer the original cast iron circled because I can use both sides of the bell, with the primal you can only use one side.

[@tobsnimhomegym4910]

They look awesome! Like your channel. I subscribed for your cool content :)

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Appreciate you man! Thanks for tuning in.

[@trevorlee6303]

These are cool too look at but that's it.

[@kengi1600]

Good vid. What timer is that on the wall?

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

It’s called DreamSky Large Digital Wall Clock on Amazon. I did a Garage Gym Tour video too and it’s mentioned and linked there too. amzn.to/3rkuvVt

[@kengi1600]

@@Levi.Jaeckel thx u Sir

[@e-artemas7295]

Your kettlebell Clean form looks a bit off. Looks like your banging the bell on your forearm instead to trying to weave your arm into the bell as it comes up. Pavell explains it really well on how to do it 👍🏻

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Pavel is a legend!

[@LukesGarageGym]

Love to try these! I got an adjustable kettlebell!

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Yeah man, they are fun. I haven’t ever used an adjustable kettlebell, do you like it?

[@dannysalazar6522]

I think I’ll be working at your garage this off season with the gorillas 🦍 KB

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

We got to. The garage sessions are always extra spicy.

[@MikeJones100_]

Do they work? If you use them yes lol. I have a few but the chimp ears bang my forearm on cleans. I use the little one to warm up.

[@MikeJones100_]

I’m on to heavier weight now that’s just the regular rouge ones.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Haha fair enough! The rogue ones are awesome, I use those at my gym. Totally agree with you about the ears of the chimp, they are not fun to catch the wrong way.

[@signkutter9218]

Ive tried them out...dont like them...they variance in surface cause discomfort

[@mjwontstop]

How uncommon they are? Would you described them to me? I am curious on getting one chimp

[@韓国J]

forget the primal kettlebells, i like that chair he's sitting on.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Haha! IKEA special.

[@ETY20]

Seems like Onnit is phasing out their standard KB's in favor of these primals. It's a shame because I love my standard bell and would like to have another, but the primals aren't really my thing.

[@davidl9155]

It makes you wanna use them 😂

[@Filipp81]

Where are they made?

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Great question. Honestly, I wasn’t able to find a divinities answer to this. Usually if products are made in the USA they are advertised as such. I wasn’t able to confirm it, there’s no inscription on the KBs or on the site.

[@Filipp81]

@@Levi.Jaeckel Just received mine and on box said made in China. However I love this thing!

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

@@Filipp81 there we go! Thanks for the update. Now we know! Have fun with it man, they really are cool.

[@Filipp81]

@@Levi.Jaeckel Thanks!

[@ronbrockway3665]

What do they all weigh?

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

They aren't measured in lbs, but they are roughly 18lbs, 32lbs, 54lbs, and 72lbs. This set is actually measured using the Pood.

[@johnwesley2943]

They look good, but do not appear to be that practical. I would imagine snatches with those could be pretty painful.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

They aren't more practical than regular KBs, that's true. I will do snatches with them, but I've got to be sure the round side of the KB is facing my forearm.

[@Joeblow354854]

It seems like the 54lb orangutan is incredibly wide? Is it awkward to use it

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

It is definitely the most awkward. And, it’s unfortunate because 54lbs is a great weight. Honestly, I’ll use it for every movement except cleans/snatches. I can still swing it, press it, row it, etc. it’s just not that comfortable to catch in a dynamic movement.

[@ericleach403]

No. They don't work. Give them to me 😁

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

😂😂 should have seen this coming!

[@ericleach403]

@@Levi.Jaeckel 🤣

[@marcusHabs]

sharp corners and unevenness on the surface of the kettlebell. Not good. Competition style bell is the best.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

You’re not lying! Competition KBs are great.

[@MAllen-ng8pl]

It's just a gimmick.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Definitely unconventional!

[@aramirez8427]

no.....

[@dirtyharry5957]

I don't like your clean technique mind

[@eahuso]

your clean is very bad form mate, like a bad bad snatch form from most people... you have to flow around the kettlebell, not banging your forearm with the kettlebell! the swinging from the woman is as bad form as your clean! its not designed to kill your lower back and raise the bell with your arms after. the kb swing should be done with a hip movement! and when the kettlebell is coming down, you have to wait untill the arms connect with your body -> than collapse and hinge, not before! sorry to be a little harsh, but its not 20 years ago with nearly no good content available. try to learn it the right way now, its hard to overwrite the wrong movement patterns, but you will see how you improve a lot in the short term.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Well, thankfully this isn't a kettlebell technique video then. I subscribed to your channel. If you upload a "How To" video I'll link it here so the community has direct access to that A+ content you're referring to.

[@powel1aa]

Time to close the gym, Levi.

[@landerval7882]

Kettlebell police spotted - we get it, you are RKC certified....

[@DRGOAT]

@@Levi.Jaeckel isn’t it funny how people that want to leave negative comments never have any videos and never responded after their initial comment? 🤔😂 I’ve had quite a few on my channel telling me I don’t know how to drive a car and things along that line, and I’m learning to just not respond to them because they never respond and they never have any videos themselves haha. Loved the video! Very informative! Just started looking into kettlebell workouts and was wanting these just because I’m a big fan of Joe and honestly just think they look badass 🤷‍♂️😂 but I’m thinking it would probably be best to stick with some normal kettlebells to begin with! Subscribed! 😁

[@ljeonjko]

​@@Levi.Jaeckel your form sucks and that's ok, but the way you handle criticism is not even kindergarten level. maybe read a book or two on not just kinesiology, but basic humany psychology before trying to become a "big youtuber"

[@1989inception]

I have 5 of them an i love these things.

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

Nice! I think they are awesome too
