Great Kettlebell Workout Tonight

My hands after a solid kettlebell workout.

Tonight we got straight into it.

  • Joint mobility warm ups
  • Light 2 handed swings x 10 followed by 1 x Turkish get-up per side about 3 times through

The workout was a ladder routine, I warmed up with a 20kg kettlebell and saw the board and opted for a 16kg kettlebell for the session. Andrew being the owner of Dragon Door Australia uses Dragon Door Kettlebells so worth giving them a plug.

From the start I wasn’t sure I would finish the session, as it turned out he didn’t expect anyone to, I did get close and felt pretty good for my first class held by a professional instructor.

  1. 20 x 2 handed swings
  2. 20 x 2 handed swings + 1 push-up
  3. 20 x 2 handed swings + 2 push-ups
  4. 20 x 2 handed swings + 3 push-ups
  5. 20 x 2 handed swings + 4 push-ups
  6. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups
  7. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 1 x goblet squat
  8. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 2 x goblet squat
  9. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 3 x goblet squats
  10. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 4 x goblet squats
  11. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats
  12. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 1 x clean and squat (per hand without putting the kettlebell down)
  13. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 2 x clean and squat
  14. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 3 x clean and squat
  15. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 4 x clean and squat
  16. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 5 x clean and squat
  17. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 5 x clean and squat + 6 single handed swings
  18. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 5 x clean and squat + 8 single handed swings
  19. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 5 x clean and squat + 10 single handed swings
  20. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 5 x clean and squat + 10 single handed swings + 12 mountain climbers (per leg)This is where the session ended, below is what was left to do
  21. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 5 x clean and squat + 10 single handed swings + 14 mountain climbers
  22. 20 x 2 handed swings + 5 push-ups + 5 x goblet squats + 5 x clean and squat + 10 single handed swings + 18 mountain climbers

So with a 16kg kettlebell I did:

  • 400 x 2 handed swings = 6400kg moved
  • 85 Push-ups
  • 60 x goblet squats = 960kg moved
  • 35 x clean and squats per hand = 1120kg moved
  • 44 single handed swings per arm = 1408kg moved
  • and last but not least 12 mountain climbers per leg.

Total moved 9888kg not including body weight exercises.
