Form cues
- Lie on the floor with knees bent and feet flat, holding a kettlebell in each hand at chest level.
- Press the kettlebells straight up until your arms are fully extended.
- Lower until your upper arms touch the floor — pause briefly to eliminate the stretch reflex.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Hold the kettlebell by squeezing both palms against the bell, not the handle.
- Maintain a hard squeeze throughout the movement to engage the chest.
- Curl the bell from waist height to chin height by flexing the biceps.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of fat loss training. Maintain heavy compound lifts to preserve muscle mass while in a caloric deficit. Add supersets and circuits for accessory work to increase training density. Keep protein high (1g per pound of bodyweight) and prioritize sleep for recovery.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 10-15 reps — high enough to keep your heart rate elevated
- Rest Periods: 30-60 seconds — short rest to maximize calorie burn
- Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for fat loss
Chest Training Tips
- *Retract your shoulder blades on every pressing movement to protect your shoulders and maximize chest activation.
- *Vary your incline angle every 4-6 weeks to hit upper, mid, and lower fibers.
- *Control the eccentric (lowering) phase for at least 2 seconds to increase time under tension.
