Power Cleans and Kettlebells

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes

Then, taken from a routine posted by Kettlebell88 pon Instagram, every 2 minutes for 12 minutes, alternate 5 sets of the following complex on each arm. Do all 5 sets on one arm, rest until the end of the 2 minutes, then do the other arm. Total of 3 rounds per arm.

  • 1 x Single Arm Kettlebell Swing @ 20kg
  • 1 x Single Kettlebell High Pull
  • 1 x Single Kettlebell Snatch
  • 2 x Overhead Reverse Lunges (1 per leg)

Results: Used 45kg/100lbs for the Clean complex. Kettlebell Complexes worked nice… took about 1 minute to do all 5 sets, then one minute rest before switching to the other arm. Neither part was terribly hard so feel free to increase weight or reps as desired 😀
