Kettlebells: the Sidea selection

The kettlebell is a piece of equipment that allows for no compromises in its construction: the handle, surface finish, weight tolerance and body shape directly determine the quality of the movement, particularly in ballistic movements such as the swing, snatch and clean. The Sidea range comprises nine models covering the three established types — cast iron, competition and vinyl — plus an adjustable kettlebell and storage accessories. Each line is designed for a specific context of use, with construction specifications tailored for continuous professional use, not for display in showrooms.

Who is kettlebell for?

The ways in which they are used are more varied than one might think. In commercial gyms and training studios Functional Training, the Iron Black and Competition kettlebells are used on a daily basis by dozens of athletes on a rotating basis: the strength of the cast iron and the standardisation of the sizes are critical factors. A personal trainer working in a studio, on the other hand, tends to put together a compact set ranging from 8 to 32 kg, sufficient for single-leg exercises, Turkish Get-Ups and circuit training.

Kettlebell sport athletes — who compete in GS (Girevoy Sport) disciplines such as the biathlon and long cycle — require competition kettlebells with a standardised handle diameter, verified weight and uniform body, regardless of size. The Competition Kettlebell Sidea meet this requirement perfectly. Anyone training using the StrongFirst protocols — Simple & Sinister, The Program Minimum, A+A — is looking for kettlebells with a specific handle design and certified weight: the StrongFirst range distributed by Sidea is the go-to choice.

For the'home gym And for home gyms, Vinyl Kettlebells offer a practical solution: the coating protects floors and surfaces, and the lighter weights are also suitable for those trying weight training for the first time. The 2187 Adjustable Kettlebell adds flexibility: being able to change the load without having to buy multiple weights is a real advantage when space is limited.

How to choose

The first criterion is the context of use. For group sessions or intensive use in the gym, the durability of painted cast iron (Iron Black) is preferable to vinyl, which can deteriorate over time under repeated strain. For kettlebell sport and structured athletic training, the ‘Competition’ model is the only logical choice: a steel body, consistent weights from 8 to 48 kg, and a satin-finish handle to manage sweat.

The starting weight depends on technical proficiency, not just strength. An athlete starting out with the StrongFirst protocol rarely goes below 16 kg for men or 12 kg for women, but must first consolidate their technique with lighter weights. For continuous ballistic work (snatch test: 100 repetitions in 5 minutes), the competitive range for men typically lies between 24 and 32 kg.

For gyms and personal training studios, choosing the right size set is more important than opting for the most expensive range. A complete Iron Black set ranging from 8 to 40 kg, combined with a Kettlebell Rack Designed specifically for this purpose, it ensures immediate usability and a tidy, organised look in the space. The adjustable kettlebell, on the other hand, is the ideal solution for those seeking versatility whilst taking up minimal space.

Domande frequenti - Kettlebell

  • The cast-iron kettlebell (Iron Black) varies in size in proportion to its weight: a 32 kg kettlebell is physically larger than a 16 kg one. The competition kettlebell, on the other hand, has a constant body size across all weights, with only the internal material changing. This makes it indispensable for kettlebell sport and for those following high-volume ballistic training programmes, where consistency of movement is paramount.
  • A functional set for an individual personal training studio typically starts with 5–7 kettlebells: 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 kg cover almost all clients. Those who also work with advanced athletes add 36 and 40 kg. For a CrossFit box or a gym offering group classes, the requirements change radically: more kettlebells are needed for each weight, usually 6–12 per weight.
  • Yes. StrongFirst kettlebells are designed with a specific handle geometry — diameter, handle length and body angle — optimised for the fundamental movements of the StrongFirst system: the swing, press, snatch and Turkish Get-Up. They are not necessarily ‘competition’ kettlebells in the GS sense of the term, but they meet construction standards certified by the StrongFirst training system at an international level.
  • It depends on the finish. On Iron Black bars with a textured grip, magnesium isn’t essential for sessions of normal duration. On satin-finished steel competition bars, it can be useful during high-volume snatch sessions to reduce slippage. It should be used sparingly: an excess of magnesium carbonate hardens the grip and may increase the risk of palm lacerations in athletes who are not used to it.
  • The StrongFirst guidelines for beginners are: 16 kg for an adult man of average build and 12 kg for a woman, but only once the basic technique has been mastered. Pavel Tsatsouline recommends using a kettlebell one or two sizes lighter than your maximum capacity to establish the correct movement pattern before progressing. The right kettlebell is the one with which you can perform 10 swings with controlled tension without losing your back position.
  • Yes, and this is supported by well-established technical literature. Pavel Tsatsouline’s ‘Simple & Sinister’ protocol, for example, is based on just two movements — the swing and the Turkish Get-Up — using a single kettlebell, and leads to measurable improvements in strength and fitness. Kettlebell programmes are particularly effective for relative strength, muscular endurance and functional mobility. To maximise pure hypertrophy, however, they are often supplemented with barbells and weight plates.
