what is even the point of kettlebells? you need barbells for compound lift and dumbbells for isolated and thats it. all the exercises i have found for kettlebells work just as good, if not better, for dumbbells

I have retarded autism legs and can't do deadlifts without my knees getting in the way of the bar. So I do sumo deadlifts with a kettlebell between my legs. Dumbbells work in a pinch, but the grip is not ideal for the weight you're lifting

You can literally go to YouTube and ask this question and get better answers. You clearly have a fundamental misunderstanding of what kettlebell do and are as you seem to think they're just an alternative to dumbbells.

It’s good if you have a vagina or bussy

they're marginally better for cleaning and pressing then dumbbell because the offset weight keeps your arm in the scapular plane, whereas with a dumbbell your tendency is to externally rotate too much

The biggest benefit is that squats, swings, cleans, snatches can all be done at home with 1 or 2 kettlebells instead of requiring a barbell setup, and they are better than dumbbells for these movements.

1-2 adjustable kettlebells is all a busy person needs to stay fit at home. Bonus if you add a pull-up bar and/or dip bar

It's for 40-year-old divorced men to buy to help Pavel get richer. The only semi-valid thing they can come up with is strength-endurance which when you remove the mystical jargon, basically means "how long can I lift a certain weight in this specific manner" which is not a sport and has poor "general" carryover.

That said, if you're some calisthenics dude, swings are basically the only total posterior chain exercise. Kettlebells are slightly more convenient. However, this obviously brings up the problem that you are buying weights for calisthenics, so just get a fucking barbell and a plywood sheet as a platform.

Daily reminder Mark Rippetoe tore both of his achilles tendons by jumping off a pickup truck bed and you should be doing more than slow bilateral barbell compounds.
