@redeemedsinner I'm not sure what your fitness goals are, but I personally found great success with kettlebells. They won't get you the same hypertrophy and max strength results as a barbell, but you can get a terrific full body strength, endurance and conditioning workout in as little a 30...

@dawn16 Got it. I like the idea of alternating a heavy day of push presses, with a volume day with the 24s. What would you recommend regarding the squats?

@winterreise That's way too much for a single day's work for me. Swings are no big deal, but the TGUs leave me wiped out. I'm going to be doing something similar, but splitting it. What are your views on doing squats on the same day as C&J?

@dustpull Of course, thank you. So far I think I have the basic movement down, what I meant was that I'm not worried about achieving maximum efficiency as in girevoy sport. I can manage the push, the explosive full overhead extension with the second dip, and then straightening my body. After a...

Background: I've recently completed Dry Fighting Weight (plus swings and TGUs), and Geoff Neupert's 12 week kettlebell muscle-building Master Plan, with great results. Over the course of five months: My press has progressed from 3 shaky reps with a single 24 to 10 solid reps with double 24s. My...

I've just finished Dry Fighting Weight, so I'd like to take a short break from pressing and squatting. Would it be too ambitious to run SW+TGU three times a week, and C&J twice a week on the off days? I was thinking maybe 10 sets of 3 reps with double 24s. I'm 35/M and I've been lifting...

@mattburns I might try that. Do you happen to know where I can find it?

Right now I'm focusing on double C&J with 2×20 kg (my press 12RM or so), doing sets of 2-5 reps in a fixed time with the aim of increasing work capacity. So far I've gotten up to 73 reps in 20 mins, which is a fairly brutal workout. I'm tempted to switch to single C&J with a 36 kg kb (which I...

@blindautist I'd cut down both time and number of exercises. You seem to be programming kettlebells as if they were dumbbells, and that's missing the point IMO. Kettlebells are more of a jack-of-all-trades minimalistic fitness tool. Maybe just do swings for 20 minutes, followed by sets of pull...

@blindautist That looks like an insane amount of volume to me. If you can C&P for 30 minutes and still have gas in the tank for everything that comes after that, you are either lifting too light, in too few reps, or not doing enough sets. I'd do just two exercises per day. Clean and press +...
