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.

Place two kettlebells shoulder-width apart and grip the handles firmly.

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 repsheavy enough for maximal force production
  • Rest Periods: 3-5 minutesfull recovery between heavy sets
  • Sets Per Exercise: 4-6 sets — optimized for strength

Triceps Training Tips

  • *Overhead extensions stretch the long head, which is the largest tricep head — do not skip them.
  • *Lock out every rep fully to engage the medial head.
  • *Dips and close-grip bench press allow heavier loading than isolation work.
