During COVID I fell in love with Kettlebell training. Before that I had focused on 531, which I also enjoyed very much.
I recently bought a atlas-style sandbag and love it! Until now, I've been working out with kettlebells M-F every morning at home and doing barbell lifts here and there at the gym (there is a full gym where I work). I have been loving this.
What I would like to do is continue with my KB work but be more focused and regular with my barbell lifts. I have access to the gym MWF. So my idea is...
Monday AM - 5x5 Double KB C&P, Rows/Pull-Ups
Monday PM - Bench Press 531
Tuesday AM - Unilateral leg work, Swings
Wednesday AM - 10x5 Snatch
Wednesday PM - Deadlift 531
Thursday AM - Unilateral press work, rows/chin-ups
Friday AM - 5x5 Dbl Front Squats, Swings
Friday PM - Squats 531
So my idea is to keep the kettlebell work pretty simple on MWF and focus on single sided skill stuff on Tuesday and Thursday.
I'm not going to do 531 Overhead Press since I so enough vertical pressing at home.
My 531 work will be cut and dry, no BBB or Joker. Maybe some cable rows before Bench Press but no other accessories unless I have a lot of time to kill.
I only have access to my kettlebells and sandbag at home. Only have access to barbells at the gym.
I am looking for input where I can fit in a few sets of sandbag presses or bearhug squats or something in a way that wouldn't be redundant considering the rest of the work being done.
Also looking for general thoughts and opinions about the arrangement, frequency etc.
Thank you!
