20kg kettlebells
Often used by intermediate and advanced lifters, 20kg kettlebells are great for building strength and fitness. Extremely heavy for specific upper body exercises like bicep curls, 20kg kettlebells can be used to build endurance when used for exercises including squats and deadlifts. At Net World Sports, our range includes neoprene and cast iron 20kg kettlebell designs. Unlike similar kettlebells at this price point, our single cast kettlebell's handles are not welded on; they are instead an integral part of the kettlebell, which provides additional strength. The textured handles are wide enough for a secure grip on two-handed exercises like swings; but small enough for single arm exercises including kettlebell clean and press. With flat bases the kettlebells are suitable for renegade rows which involve balancing and core strength. The colour-coded design of the neoprene kettlebells makes weight selection easy if buying additional weights, and the protective outer layer is ideal for use on a range of gym floors. The cast iron kettlebells are also colour coded, with rings around the handles - so even if you have the whole set of kettlebells, it's relatively easy to find a matching weight. Order your 20kg kettlebells today, with fast delivery from our UK warehouse and HQ.

20KG KETTLEBELLS FAQs
Is a 20kg kettlebell heavy?
Yes, 20kg is generally considered a heavy kettlebell, but it depends on the exercise and experience level of the user. A 20kg kettlebell is relatively light for most fit, young and healthy adults when it comes to performing a deadlift, for example. However, for most upper body exercises from rows to push-press and chest-press, 20kg is relatively heavy for most people. People new to kettlebells will generally want to learn and acquire technique for each exercise, including deadlift, with a lighter weight before progressing to 20kg. When it comes to the iconic exercise, kettlebell swings, 20kg is also a bit too heavy for most beginners. When learning technique and starting off, a weight between 8kg and 16kg is more manageable and will mitigate the risk of injury.
What exercises can I do with a 20kg kettlebell?
In theory, you can do every kettlebell exercise with a 20kg kettlebell. In reality, however, unless you are extremely experienced and an advanced user of kettlebells, you should avoid attempting single arm exercises like Turkish Get Ups and Windmills with 20kg. Attempting these exercises as a beginner, with a 20kg kettlebell, is a very bad idea and could result in serious injury. Always seek guidance from a professional or an experienced friend before using a 20kg kettlebell. Popular exercises that 20kg kettlebells are often used for include 2-handed swings, deadlifts, farmer's carries and single arm rows. In the actual sport of kettlebells, 20kg is used in women's advanced events for snatch and the clean & jerk. For context and to give an idea of the weights used in HYROX, the men's division and women's pro division use 24kg kettlebells for the farmer's carry.
What's the difference between cast iron and neoprene kettlebells?
The main difference between neoprene and cast iron kettlebells is the exterior coating. The exterior surface of the cast iron kettlebells is rough and hard, whilst neoprene is "rubber-like" and softer. Neoprene is better for users who are conscious of damaging the floor or the kettlebells themselves. Cast iron offers similar quality and functions exactly the same, but they are a more no-nonsense option, without the bright colours and more forgiving exterior. Both have textured, chalk-friendly grips and a high level of durability.
