I've been using the Long Cycle Clean and Jerk as well as the Clean and Jerk and Snatch in my 2x/week Kettlebell training (a great supplement to my barbell based work). In the case of both the Long Cycle and regular Clean and Jerk I normally use the 2 kettlebell version for sets of eight or ten reps for 5 to 8 sets.
I am curious are there different benefits and the like for doing one arm as opposed to two arm version for both movements? The reason I ask is because at the gym I train at on base (I'm in the US Army) sometimes I might only have one as opposed to the usual two 40 lbs kettlebells I use for the Long Cycle or two 35 lbs kettlebells I use for the standard Clean and Jerk.
About me: I'm 32 years old, male, I mostly have a barbell base background in strength training but use kettlebells as a nice conditioning plug. My goals are built around general physical preparation.
