When to move up a kettlebell size (How) Standards inside
Posted: October 28, 2024
I typically use the following “tests” with my private clients to determine moving up to the next size bell or bells.
[1] Single Clean + Press: 10 sets of 5 each side. 30 minutes or less. Preferably 20.
[2] Double Clean + Press: 10 sets of 5. 30 minutes or less. Preferably 20.
[3] Double Front Squat: Same as DC+P.
[4] Snatch: 100 reps in 10 minutes - 5 sets of 10 each side.
[5] Turkish Get Up: 10 sets of 1+1 in 15 minutes.
This is one of the beautiful thing about the kettlebell training.
It allows you to build an incredibly large base of “PHYSICAL PREPAREDNESS” when programmed correctly.
As a result, life becomes so much easier and in many cases, you seem to have nearly limitless energy.
Plus, because you’re taking your time, your strength sticks around for years, unlike many forms of traditional workout programming.
