This is a six-week training plan to prepare for the SFG 5-minute snatch test (24kg test weight).

Looking for some insight from this community on how to strengthen and improve my legs using kettlebells. At the moment my training time is limited and I’m focused primarily on Muay Thai. I’ve always been predisposed to more hypertrophy on my upper body and my legs always kinda lagged. I strength...
Hey all,
I am currently doing the Greyskull LP program, and specifically the Phraks Variant - very similar to Starting Strength 3x5.
However, due to time/work restraints, I am now only able to go to the gym twice per week - Fridays and Sundays. So, I was thinking about exercising at home with...
Hello Everybody
Happy & healthy 2022!
It took me around one year to recover from an AC-joint injury and reach the level of the S&S progress I had before the injury.
Meaning 10x10 two-hand swings and 10 TGUs both in 10min with a 24kg Kettlebell and training 3-4 times per week.
After that, the...
Hi all. Due to recent life changes I no longer have access to barbells. I spent the past few years on several SF programs with success, most recently Reload. Achieved a 2.2xbodyweight deadlift.
I’ve always integrated kettlebells. After years of not training them, I can still bang out one...
Hi guys,
I have been working with a 15 year old elite swimmer. I see him once a week for 45 mins. I have worked with him for 12 months so far and we have made good progress in his kettlebell training and his swimming times.
We have mostly been using kettlebells, working on good technique for...
Hi All,
I've fairly recently bought some kettle bells and have a number of exercises that I do with them. These are mainly ones I have found on YouTube or a DVD that I picked up. I do a 15 minute (ish) warm up before starting.
When I was a kid I sustained some lower back damage (fell off a...
Greetings girevichkas & gireviks!
In early July of 2020, I'm embarrassed to say I fried my endocrine/nervous system following the fads of too much fasted HIIT training with moderate to heavy kettlebells. Quarantine, YouTube & Instagram "fitness gurus"/"biohackers", and my own ignorance caught...
Hi friends, I thought about asking a question maybe I'm just over thinking, I have a 53 lb kettlebell and haven't been able to find another due to shortage I did find a 55, can I work doubles or do you think if I switch hands after every set it might work or do I look for another 53 lb kettlebell??

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has used the Pre-competition weekly armed forces routine from the soldier be strong manual in the Russian kettlebell challenge, and if so what results did you see from it?
I am on the S&S protocol and love it. I try to do it 2-4 times a week.
Once a week I play "floorball" (innebandy). Its a Swedish land hockey game. There are lots of sprints and running. That day and the day after I don´t do any Kettlebells.
Do you think I should try to do my kettlebells also...
