Kettlebell Routines
Need suggestions for routines
Posted on June 8th, 2009With great anticipation I opened my Kettlebell tape and shoved it into my VCR. I was not disappointed. Your presentation and instruction are first rate. The thing is, I'm not sure how to structure a routine.

Posted on June 8th, 2009I'm a reformed HITer. I used High Intensity Training style training in the past and have to admit that I did have a decent amount of success with it. How can I apply HIT protocols to kettlebell training?

Varied kettlebell routine (not for the weak-spirited)
Posted on June 8th, 2009Machine wusses can stop reading now.
This is the routine I will be using for the next two weeks starting Saturday. The main point is variety, mixing up heavy days and light days, and having fun.

Military press ladder routine questions
Posted on June 8th, 2009I believe kettlebells are the best conditioning tool out there. Saturday and Sunday I did swings & snatches. I started out pretty easy because I didn't want to over do it.

Posted on June 8th, 2009I just received my Russian Kettlebell Challenge video and have watched it twice already, but being a beginner I don't have a clue on how to proceed as far as a program or routine is concerned. (Although I have read a few posts about using ladders and that sounds like a good idea.) Also, I will probably use dumbbells at least for the time being.

Posted on June 8th, 2009I'm currently doing one-arm snatches with the 24 kg kettle bell, 10-15 reps per hand, resting 30-40 seconds, and then hitting it again until I reach 100-120 reps total. For variety I'll try to reach higher straight numbers with the 16 kg kettle bell, like 30-40 for each hand. I am also ambitiously trying high [...]

Posted on June 8th, 2009Can I do kettle bell throws on my non-Janda situp month in the Bulletproof Abs routine? If so, I thought I would do one set of five throws in each hand, five days per week.

Posted on June 8th, 2009I've just begun finishing up my Power to the People workout with dumbbell snatches for reps. I'm just surfing to see what reps, sets, and rest intervals everyone is using.

Posted on June 8th, 2009My largest kettlebell is perfect for one-arm deadlifts as described in Bulletproof Abs. It's heavy enough to do the job and really works the grip, but is much easier to balance than a barbell and it really works the abdominal obliques.
continue reading...Deadlift singles & kettlebell set/rep scheme?
Posted on June 8th, 2009Does anyone do deadlift singles as a workout routine? I'm wondering if there are benefits to singles vs the conventional 5 reps or vice-versa. I've had some problems getting 5 good reps in the deadlift no matter what the weight, but I'm able to go heavy with good technique on singles.

Posted on June 8th, 2009I try and train with kettlebells five days per week, concentrating almost exclusively on snatches and bent presses. I'll do snatches with the 24 kg kettle bell, 10 reps each hand alternating until I reach 150-200 reps (total).

Posted on June 8th, 2009This article was written by Tom Barrett.
I was pretty excited about the arrival of my 24 kg kettlebell. When I got home from work, there it was still in its cardboard wrapper waiting for me to start playing with it. Shredding the carton, I freed the iron and dusted it off. “I shall call you [...]
