The Workout
Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
Form cues
- Press or snatch a kettlebell to full overhead lockout with the arm straight.
- Step forward into a lunge while keeping the bell directly over your shoulder.
- Lower until your rear knee nearly touches the floor.
Advanced movement — prioritize form over weight.
Form cues
- Press the kettlebell overhead with a locked elbow and keep your eyes on it throughout the movement.
- Turn your feet roughly 45 degrees away from the loaded arm and push your hip out toward the kettlebell side.
- Hinge at the hip and slide your free hand down your front leg, keeping the kettlebell stacked over your shoulder.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Start in a hike position with the kettlebell behind you and one hand on the handle.
- Drive your hips forward explosively to swing the bell upward.
- As the bell reaches face height, punch your hand through the handle to lock out overhead.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of muscle building training. Use moderate loads (65-80% of your 1RM) with controlled eccentrics and full range of motion. Prioritize progressive overload by adding reps before adding weight. Train each muscle group 2x per week with 10-20 hard sets per muscle per week.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 8-12 reps — the hypertrophy sweet spot for maximum muscle growth
- Rest Periods: 60-90 seconds — long enough for quality reps, short enough for metabolic stress
- Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for muscle building
Glutes Training Tips
- *Hip thrusts allow the highest glute activation of any exercise — load them heavy.
- *Squeeze at the top of every rep for a full second to maximize the contraction.
- *Wider stances in squats and deadlifts shift more work to the glutes.
