Description

Where regular kettlebells stop

Most kettlebell sets end at 32 kg. The Monster Kettlebell carries on from there: eight weights from 36 to 92 kg, each one available on its own. It's made for everything that still makes sense in the heavy range – two-handed swings, deadlifts, goblet squats, farmer and suitcase carries. So for athletes who have the standard range under control and are looking for more load. And for boxes topping up their kettlebells at the upper end without buying a whole set – you take exactly the weight you're missing.

Cast iron with powder coating – and no markings

Every bell is cast from a single piece of cast iron, from the handle down to the base. On top of that sits a slightly rough black powder coating: it takes chalk and gives you grip even with damp hands. What you won't find is a number or a colour code – unlike a Competition Kettlebell, the weight isn't written anywhere on it. You tell it by the size, because the bell grows with the weight. Between 36 and 92 kg the difference is obvious, between two neighbouring steps it isn't – so if several bells end up side by side at your place, mark them yourself while unpacking.

Above 48 kg the Monster is your only option here. Between 36 and 48 kg you have a choice: the Cast Iron Kettlebell v2 steps up more finely, the Monster carries on further. Below that, the Cast Iron Kettlebell, and for long competition sets the Competition Kettlebell.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many kg should a kettlebell be?

That depends on the exercise and on where you stand. For swings, cleans and squats, most people move somewhere between 12 and 32 kg – that range sits in the Cast Iron Kettlebell Powder Coated. The Monster Kettlebell comes after that: if you swing 32 kg cleanly with both hands and want more load, you start at 36 or 40 kg.

Which kettlebell is better, cast iron or plastic?

In the heavy range, nothing gets past cast iron for us. The Monster Kettlebell is cast from one piece – no shell, no filler, nothing that shifts over the years. Plastic you'll only find on our kids' models. On top of that comes the surface: powder coating takes chalk, paint and vinyl don't.

Is the weight printed on the kettlebell?

No. The bell is black all over, without a number and without a colour code. You tell the weight by the size. If several Monster Kettlebells stand next to each other at your place, mark them yourself while unpacking – then nobody reaches for the wrong one mid-session either.

Why is the 92 kg so much bigger than the 36 kg?

Because every extra kilo means more cast iron. Standardised competition bells solve that differently – through filler material or through wall thickness – while on the Monster Kettlebell the bell grows instead. You notice it the first time you move up: as the bell grows, the handle position shifts with it. The movement stays the same, the feel in your hand doesn't – so take the first set at a new weight calmly.

Monster Kettlebell or Cast Iron Kettlebell v2?

At 36, 40 and 48 kg you can have both. The Cast Iron Kettlebell v2 takes the standard line upwards and ends at 48 kg, the Monster starts at 36 and carries on to 92 kg. If you can see yourself going heavier, stay in one line – then every step up feels the same.

Which exercises make sense from 36 kg up?

Two-handed swings, deadlifts, goblet squats, farmer and suitcase carries – everything you hold with both hands, or with one hand firmly on the handle. One-arm snatches and Turkish get-ups are a discipline of their own at this weight. If you want to drill those cleanly, stay in the standard range for them and use the heavy bells for swings, deadlifts and carries.

Can I drop a Monster Kettlebell?

Better not. Cast iron takes a lot, but at 60, 80 or 92 kg it's mainly your floor that suffers, and the coating picks up dings over time. Set the bell down under control, best of all on rubber flooring or a Dropping Mat. At that weight, setting it down is the movement you want to practise anyway.

Customer reviews

From 36 kg up, nobody talks about snatches any more. It's about two-handed swings, about deadlifts and about carries that prise your grip open after twenty metres. That's exactly what these bells are for. If your technique in the standard range isn't clean yet, you get nothing out of them – if you've arrived there, you'll feel the difference on the first set.
