What are some good uses of these things, in terms of strength training?

Ironlion needs to respond to this thread. I believe he uses them now, or has in the past quite a bit.

Ironmind has ones that you can add plates to instead of having to buy a whole set...

Kettles are great!
Every lift that you thought you were a badass at becomes a whole new challenge.

They whoop ass for grip training.

IL used them for those Turkish Getups things (for abs). Search for that thread, a couple weeks ago I think.

those look like fun, might have to give a few a try...

Because of the awkward shape they force you to use a lot of internal stabilizers to press overhead, also there are about fifteen different grip exercises and a ton of dynamic work you can use them for.

All in all they are a great accesory to a simple powerlifting routine b/c they allow you to target your stabilizers more.

I also think they are much better that db's for cleans and swings and bent presses.
