Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.

Form cues
  • Clean the kettlebell to the rack position, then flip it so the bottom faces the ceiling.
  • Squeeze the handle as hard as possible — this irradiates tension through the entire arm and shoulder.
  • Press straight overhead slowly and with total control, keeping the bell balanced.

Advanced movement — prioritize form over weight.

Form cues
  • Clean the kettlebell to the rack position with feet slightly wider than shoulder-width.
  • Turn your feet about 45 degrees away from the pressing arm.
  • Lean your torso away from the bell while pressing it upward.

intermediate

Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.

Form cues
  • Start with the kettlebell between your feet and hinge to grab the handle.
  • Drive through your hips to swing the bell upward, keeping it close to your body.
  • As the bell rises, rotate your hand around the bell to catch it in the rack position.

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 repshigh enough to keep your heart rate elevated
  • Rest Periods: 30-60 secondsshort rest to maximize calorie burn
  • Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for fat loss

Shoulders Training Tips

  • *Most lifters over-train the front delt and neglect the rear delt — prioritize face pulls and reverse flyes.
  • *Lateral raises work best with lighter weight and strict form — no swinging.
  • *Press overhead with a slight forward lean to keep the bar path over your center of gravity.
