A kettlebell is a weight made of either cast iron or cast steel, shaped like a sphere with a handle resembling a cannonball.

There are two main types of kettlebells: regular cast iron and competition (pro grade).

Regular Cast Iron Kettlebells

Regular kettlebells feature a slightly larger handle, accommodating both one-handed and two-handed exercises.

The size of the kettlebell varies depending on its weight. For instance, a 24kg kettlebell would be notably larger than an 8kg one.

Competition Kettlebells

As the name suggests, competition kettlebells are utilized in kettlebell competitions where exercises are performed against time.

These kettlebells maintain a consistent size regardless of their weight, ensuring uniformity in grip during exercises.

The handles of competition kettlebells are typically smaller and square-shaped, allowing for minimal hand movement, which is ideal for single-arm exercises.
