The typical price for a 20 kgs cast iron kettle bell is £50-70.
What's involved in making one?


Iron only seems to fetch about 10p per kg at the scrappy.

GIYF

How about this:

Concrete ones are much cheaper to buy than cast iron, but the
density of the material is different, and concrete ones are much
bulkier. The advantage, of course, is you don't need an iron foundry
to DIY one.


You could always use mercury rather than concrete.g

Lead has a density 20% less than mercury.

Tungsten seems a better bet! A bit less toxic too and on par with the
density of gold.

Depleted uranium works much better.

Depleted uranium - 19.050 kg/m3
Tungsten - 19.25 kg/m3

I'm not so sure. Better at what?

Cheaper; if you're a government which already has some.
