Handle and Grip

Like all our bells, the 20-pound kettlebell has a flat, machined base, which makes it a great fit for floor workouts: it will stand solid on the ground without rolling or falling.

Although a 20-pounder might feel light in your hands, it will make you see stars (and not in the romantic sense) if you drop it on your toes. Take our word for it – do not attempt it yourself.

Which takes us to the question of kettlebell handle and grip.

All our bells have a large, curved, slip-proof handle, so they will feel comfortable in both single and double-handed grip. For the 20 lb kettlebell, the width of the handle is xx mm, the diameter of the handle – 34 mm. Moreover, its premium, ultra-durable powder coating ensures a perfect balance between a nice texture and the non-slipping surface for a safe grip.

Making Gravity Cast Kettlebells

Sure, we’ve made thousands of kettlebells, but nothing pleases us more than seeing a line-up of freshly cast kettlebells at the foundry. Our powder coated kettlebells are made from a single piece of cast iron. We melt down scrap iron (old rail track, engine blocks etc.) and pour them into an individual sand mold which is handle down so the handle fills up and solidifies first – to ensure that there are non-voids in the handle during solidification.

The carefully designed mould allows the iron to flow in without disturbing the sand. Once the kettlebell has solidified, we break it out, grind it, machine its base, powder-coat it, and box it up. The entire process takes around 10 days: from the moment when we get our hands on scrap iron – to the glorious moment when the brand new, perfect kettlebell is ready for shipping.

Center of Gravity

We like to think that Sir Isaac Newton himself would have been proud of this way to employ the nature’s fundamental force: we too stand on the shoulders of giants. This is the essence of the perfect kettlebell: unlike traditional dumbbell weights, a kettlebell’s center of gravity is moved away from your hand, which makes it an ultimate workout tool, requiring you to balance it with your body, increasing cross-stabilization, delivering a proper full-body workout – making you strong through-and-through

Is 20 lb right for me?

In metric terms, a 20 lb bell corresponds to 9 kg. Is it too light? Good enough? Or perfect?

Well, it's all relative and depends on your fitness level and objectives.

20 lb is a sweet spot for every beginner: if you are new to fitness, this is your go-to weight for most kettlebell movements, because it will allow you to learn proper form without risking injury.

However, experienced lifters can put it to good use too: for example, when learning complex. multi-tiered kettlebell movements, such as Turkish Getup (start with a low weight so that you do not injure your wrist or shoulder before you have figured out how to correctly balance the bell throughout the flow). A 20-pounder is also handy in the movements which are extremely taxing on the wrists and shoulders, such as Kettlebell Bottom-Up Press.

There is no shame in using lighter weight. The goal is to find our weaknesses and improve on them. There are some exercises where you need to start with a light weight. The less injuries you have the more exercise you can do long term.

Exercises with 20 lb kettlebell

You do not always have to pick the heaviest weight to lift effectively, improve your skills and increase strength (yeah, even if you are going for the title of the ultimate alpha male in the gym).

Sometimes a lighter kettlebell can prove even more useful than a heavy option: in certain movements, a heavy bell can be inconvenient or even dangerous for your joints and safety. These include most overhead KB movements, where you need to balance the weight above your head or your face, especially if you are not an experienced kettlebeller. For example:

  • Turkish getup
  • Windmill
  • Unilateral Overhead Lunges
  • Unilateral Overhead Squat
  • Overhead Kettlebell Walk
  • Flutter Kicks with Kettlebell Hold, and many, many others.

Great products. Fast shipping.

I got the bell and bag combo. The bell is very well made. It has a great handle height and a good finish. But the bag has me very impressed. It has great handles and construction material. I got both for less than the price of the small BF bag. I would like to see a 10 and 15 pound bell to better serve my older clients, but the bag seems to pick up the slack. I will be ordering more in the future.

Exactly as expected

It’s everything you’d expect. It weighs 35lbs, has a nice coat of paint, a flat bottom, a nice handle, it arrived it one piece, it’s made in the USA, fair price, fast shipping, and it’s even nice to look at. What’s not to love? Some minor scratches out of the box, but doesn’t affect the use of the tool.

I Love It!

Ordered a 25 lb as recommended for beginner men, and at first I thought it would be too light but turned out to be perfect.

Shipping took about two weeks from purchase date, but that wasn't a huge deal to me. The box arrived pretty beat up and some of the powder coat was chipped off on the front and back but I assume that had more to do with the shipping company rather that the manufacturer, plus it's a weight, it doesn't have to look pretty to work.
Overall I highly recommend and made in USA from scrap materials is a huge bonus for me.

Added Another 35 lbs!

I added another 35 lbs to my other 35 and 44 lbs kettlebells. I got my third kettlebell today, and it's glorious! Now I can do some 2-bell exercises.
