Kettlebell Programming the hardstyle c&j

[Erik W]

Suitcase carries get along well with them for me

I might try that, but keep it easy. I tend to push too far into burn territory when I practice carries.

I've been doing carries A+A style lately to avoid that. Carry EMOM for 15 secs. I said suitcase but meant farmers carries for me.

This is the hard day. On the medium and light day you finish your ladders one rung shorter and use a lighter bell with one of your arms.

Weren't you supposed to do them with equal weight bells and the same set-rep scheme, with 32+32, 24+24 and 16+16 for heavy, medium and light days and VPPs for the latter? Although the possibility of using heavier bells is also mentioned, so I might have misunderstood it.

Whats the best exercise to pair wiyh the KB C&J
For what aim? Strength? Hypertrophy? Can’t argue with the (double) front squat suggestions.

Yep, this!

Yes, you are right. The uneven bells programming is for grinds.

I'm currently running Strong! with uneven bells (28 kg + 32 kg) and loving it.

I like C+J emoms. A couple of 32kg for sets of 3 emom will have you blowing in no time. Lighter weights for reps are evil too. 1 armers are even worse because even 5+5 C+J leaves very little recovery time because it’s long process a C+J. As lifts go it’s a bear no matter what way you slice it. Geoff Neupert calls it the ultimate fat burner and even has a workout for it called that.
