The Workout
Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
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.
Advanced movement — prioritize form over weight.
Form cues
- Set up in a push-up position with hands gripping two kettlebells, feet wider than shoulder width.
- Shift your weight onto one arm, then row the opposite kettlebell to your hip.
- Keep your hips level — do not rotate or let the non-working side dip.
Hold a kettlebell by the handle with a supinated (palms-up) grip at full arm extension.
Form cues
- Hold a kettlebell by the handle with a supinated (palms-up) grip at full arm extension.
- Curl the kettlebell up by bending at the elbow — keep your upper arm pinned to your side.
- The offset weight will try to pull your wrist into extension — fight to keep your wrist neutral.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Stand in a wide sumo stance with two kettlebells between your feet.
- Hinge at the hips, keep a flat back, and grab one kettlebell at a time.
- Row one kettlebell to your hip, lower it, then row the other side.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of strength training. Center your program around the big compound lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press. Use heavy loads (80-95% 1RM) with low reps and full recovery between sets. Periodize intensity — not every session should be a max effort.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 3-6 reps — heavy enough for maximal force production
- Rest Periods: 3-5 minutes — full recovery between heavy sets
- Sets Per Exercise: 4-6 sets — optimized for strength
Biceps Training Tips
- *Vary your grip width and angle — supinated, neutral, and pronated grips each emphasize different portions of the biceps and brachialis.
- *Incline curls stretch the long head more than standing curls, producing a fuller peak.
- *Keep elbows pinned to your sides — swinging reduces bicep activation.
