Limey needs help

Hi you Yankee doodles-
You are experts in the KB -does anyone have a link for using dumbells
in place of KBs? I am a poor student-I just want to see the technique?
Many yanks.

This might help.

This article doesn't have dumbbell replacements for the two most
popular kbell lifts (the swing and the snatch), but with just a little
imagination I would bet that you could work out your own substitutes.
I wouldn't recommend trying to snatch a dumbbell with a rope tied to
it though.

Your best bet is a product Keith has recommended, the kettlestack. It's
a plate-loaded kettlebell handle.

If that's out of your budget, you can easily enough make a kettlebell
handle for swings. Google

make your own kettlebell

and you'll find this page:

http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/shenand.../Isotonic.html with
instructions and pictures towards the bottom.

Here's another option:

http://www.tacticalathlete.com/packweight.htm

This thing actually doubles as flight bag or other tote-along kind of
suitcase.

Last but not least, there are some kinds of kettlebells you can load,
e.g., from http://www.usgsf.com. They come as 16 kg but you can throw
loose change, small rocks, or whatever else you like inside to increase
the weight.

That ought to get you started.
