Kettlebells and 5/3/1



Tuesday, Condition Session with kettlebells. Hills Sprints or Prowler pushes are a great alternative as well.
  • Kettlebell Drills, do one mobility drill between each set
    • swings 2 x 20
    • clean 2 x 10 right/10 left
    • high pull 2 x 10/10
    • snatch 5 x 10/10
      • when it comes to kettlebells, nothing beats snatches for conditioning and explosiveness so warm-up to them and then focus on them.
  • That is it, the sets and reps are just a suggestion, adjust as required for your fitness level, weight of kettlebell and time permitted.

Wednesday, Bench Press week 4, heavy single as per Wendler's recommendation in 5/3/1)

  • A1 Fat Bar Narrow Grip Bench Press
    • 95 x 10, 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 225 x 5, 275 x 5, 325 x 3, 365 x 1
      • now that I think of it I should have gone for a double with 365

  • B1 Strongman Log Clean and Press (use a barbell if you have to)
