Kettlebell hour of power


Kettlebell hour of power
By Senior Trainer Bart Brys

Perform 5 circuits of 1 to 5 reps of the exercises 1 to 5.
Remember to never work to max effort with heavy kettlebells (KB) for safety reasons.
Beginners can use 12-16kg KBs, intermediate to advanced 16-24kg

1. Turkish get ups
2. Double KB front squats (KB single leg squats for advanced)
3. Windmills
4. Clean and press
5. Floor press

Finish with heavy chin ups (weighted) as a ladder. It works like this.
Do 1 rep, rest a few seconds, do 2 reps & rest a few seconds, 3 reps, 4 reps, if you are not going to make the next higher number, start again at 1 rep, do 2, etc. and keep repeating till you can only do one more 1.
An example could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1 (total 23 reps)

Final conditioning section
10 sets of 10 KB swings with 30-60sec rest in between sets
