Susan's Kettlebell Training

There isn't much out there that logs entire Kettlebell Training sessions. You can get them, but they aren't free. This blog is going to contain not only 3 full hour long Kettlebell training sessions a week BUT also 3 full hour Strength Training sessions and commentary by me: Susan J.f. Bartley, Personal trainer and RKC Level I & II at South Carolina Barbell in Columbia, SC

Thursday's KB class




I was too tired last night to post - my arms just wouldn't work. We did this workout with 2 KB's a heavy and a normal size. You are supposed to work with your heavy one for as many reps as you can and switch to the light one when you need to. I'd say we each did about 60 - 70% with our heavy bell. I used a 16 Kg and a 12 Kg




100 swings warm up




Round #1 - 10 cleans/10 clean & press




Round #2 - 10 Judo chops/10 snatches




Round #3 - 10 Swing High Pulls/10 Front squats (w/ 1 bell)




Repeat each round doing 15 reps per




Repeat each round again doing 20 reps per




This is a pretty challenging workout. I always find that my legs turn to jelly first, but with no leg drive it makes the upper body part that much harder. It is a great workout for people who are trying to bump up to the next size KB, because it gives you some good work with that weight with the option of dropping down when you are fatigued.




I am going to see the new X-Files movie "I Want to Believe" at 11:40 this am. I am so excited I might just cry when the opening credits start. I know that is super wierd but there are other X-philes out there who are thinking the same thing...I am not alone!
