Today's kettlebell workout was done at the gym so I actually used more than just those funny looking Russian balls.  I really like to balance any pushing movements with opposite pulling movements, so I alternated between sets of presses and sets of pull-ups. This is also a great way to ensure you work your back/pulling muscles as much as your front/pressing ones. You don't need to be that slouched over goon with big pipes and tight pecs banging out endless sets of curls in the squat rack.


I like to start my sets of clean and press pretty strict and then add a push or jerk as the weight and fatigue dictates. Just make sure your shoulders and triceps get some serious work in if you want to look as strong as you are.

Here is the Kettlebell Workout I did today:

• Double Kettlebell Clean and Press
• worked up to a 2 rep max after quite a few sets
• Fat Gripz Pull-Ups
• did a set of pull-ups between each set of cleans
• using Fat Gripz makes it way harder to grip the bar, forcing your hand and forearms muscles to work overtime
• 10 x 5
• Cable Circuit
• 3 x 20 of each
• Curls
• Triceps Extensions
• Face Pulls

Here is a great instructional video by Steve Cotter on how to do a proper kettlebell clean and jerk
