Improvising something with a broken handled kettlebell?

[TonyK]

My gym had a kettlebell with a broken handle (half of it fell off somehow, I suppose), they didn't need it, so I took it because it seemed useful to me and as they say "trash to them - treasure to me".

Anyone has an idea about ways to fix it somehow? If not, what would you do with it?

Im sure you can use it if you really want to and have nothing else at home. But your a gym member right? I mean I understand, I dont let people throw out shit like that either, but is probably going to end up being the most effective paper weight in history. But if your bored one day do over head presses with it, do the shot put with it, supinated front raises. Or have some fun with it and wreck something.

put it in a backpack and use it for dips/pullups. go to an empty field and throw it as far as you can.

Was it plastic?

How heavy was it?

Two words: jbweld. Wait, that was just one word, wasn't it?

You can do grip stuff grabbing the bell.

I would probably throw it around though. That would probably be fairly fun S&C

Throws
Slams

for power training

You could also do all kind of presses and/or grip training

I thought about giving it to a metal worker, so he can remove the handle completely and turn it into a mace somehow. What do you guys think, is it possible lol?

Weight - 16 kg

Would be a heavy fucking mace to swing.

I like the whole "grab it, throw it, slam it" sort of thing. Outdoors, preferably on your own property or somewhere that people won't mind a few divots in the grass.

32kgs would be a beast mace. Heaviest I've used is 8kgs, and that isn't just the head it is distributed through the handle
