Does what it says on the tin

Wasn't too sure about these, having read some desultory reviews.However, really well made and finished. Promises to be super-durable over time.Yes, a little more bulky than cast iron equivalents, but given the great price I can easily overlook that.Highly recommended.David

It's definitely 20kg, and extremely solid! However it's so large it can actually be tricky to hold onto the handle, you can get much smaller form-factor from a cast iron equivalent that will be just as heavy.

Good for its use

I bought the 10kg.This is a great kb, it does the job. It is exactly like any other kb, except that these are cheaper because they are concrete rather than iron, and concrete is a lot lighter than iron = a bigger kb.I’m a girl, and the 10kg kb is easily within my capacity except that the dang thing is too big. The handle is too thick to fit comfortably into the notch between thumb and forefinger. My fingers don’t wrap comfortably round the handle and I struggle to hold the wide belly of the kb when doing moves that hold the body of the kb.Also, because the kb is so big, it moves the weight of it out sideways. Instead of hanging the kb down the back of your wrist/forearm for a clean and press, the centre of gravity is further out, pulling wrist out and increasing strain on elbow and/or shoulder.Now, I have an old shoulder injury that I have to be very careful of. It’s why I wanted the 10kg. But I won’t be able to use this kb for any moves like this. The kb’s centre of gravity is only an inch or two further out, but it makes a big difference to my dodgy shoulder.I’ve done 2 sessions with it this week and both thumb base joints are aching deeply, from trying to grip the huge handle firmly enough (I wear large gloves, so my hands aren’t that small). And both shoulders are unhappy with the outward pull from the further out centre of gravity.Neither of these things would be a problem if you have hands the size of baseball catcher mitts and longer long bones (I’m 170cm tall).Having said all that, the handle is so big I can easily fit both hands on it side by side.Will give it 2 weeks for the shoulder to recover from the shoulder twisting (yes, I have to be very careful), and then I will try this kb for swings. See how I like the fat handle there.Meanwhile I am now looking for a proper iron 10kg again…

These robust kettlebells are ideal and good value for money

Honestly this is not a kettlebell, it's lump of concrete in the shape of a kettlebell. That might sound ok to some but the problem is of course that concrete is far less dense than iron. So it needs to be bigger, a LOT BIGGER. I do Kettlebell Halo's and the diameter of the grip at the top on this concrete one is about twice that of an iron bell, which I can just about use manage, but halo's require you to grip the sides of the handle, these parts of the handle are gigantic, three times the diameter of the 16kg you can see sat next to it in the image. Ultimately this is my fault for not checking the order correctly, it was the same price as the Amazon basics one I normally order so didn't give it much thought. Now I'm stuck with it as shipping costs make it uneconomical to return.

Great for doing round the world
