Pro Grade "Competition" Kettlebells vs Cast Iron Kettlebells

 

Pro Grade, or "Competition" Kettlebells are made to fixed specifications. They are made of steel, rather than cast iron, and are used in international, girevoy sport kettlebell competitions.

Unlike classic cast iron kettlebells, pro grade kettlebells always have the same dimensions regardless of weight. This means that whether you are using an 8 KG/18 Lb bell or a 32 KG/70 Lb bell, it will always rest on your forearm in the exact same place. This ensures that your technique stays consistent regardless of weight. Traditional cast iron kettlebells get larger as they get heavier, and each size rests in a slightly different place in the rack position.

Due to the fact that Pro Grade kettlebells are made from steel, and not cast iron, they are more durable. This is not to say that a quality cast iron kettlebells will fall apart, it just means that steel is stronger than cast iron and therefore more durable. They are virtually indestructible, and a definite "step up" from classic cast iron kettlebells.

Pro Grade handles are slightly slimmer than with traditional cast iron kettlebells. The handles are specifically designed to prevent lateral slipping and minimize fatigue with high repetition sets.

Pro Grade Competition Kettlebells look "fat" compared to cast iron bells. They have a larger mass in the ball of the bell, imparting different, and many think, better ballistic properties due to this larger center mass.

In the photo above you can see the difference between the rounded handle of the cast iron kettlebell in the back, compared to the more squarish handle of a Pro Grade Kettlebell. Both kettlebells will give you a killer workout, however the design of the competition kettlebell handle results in less grip fatigue when performing high repetition snatches, cleans etc.

Many kettlebell enthusiasts are now including competition style kettlebells in their collection. As you progress in your kettlebell training, you will appreciate the benefits and differences of using competition kettlebells. If you like to juggle kettlebells, then you will find the balance on competition kettlebells to be perfectly suited for this type of kettlebell work.

I recommend that any serious kettlebell lifter purchase at least one competition style kettlebell. Kettlebells USA™ manufactures high quality cast iron as well as our line of Paradigm Pro™ Steel Competition Kettlebells.
