The Workout
Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
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.
Advanced movement — prioritize form over weight.
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.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Hold the kettlebell in the front rack position at chest height.
- Squat down to full depth with elbows high and chest up.
- Drive explosively out of the squat and use the momentum to press the bell overhead.
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
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.
