Push-ups: 3 x 10-20 reps

Pull-ups or Rows with dumb bells or bands: 3 x 10-20 reps

Lift heavy if you can with this kettle bell workout, but if all you have is light kettlebell just increase your reps and density (do more in less time).

This is a basic full-body kettle bell workout I do when I want a quick full-body workout.

Simple, no frills, and quick.

• Two-Hand Swing – 20 reps
• One-arm Swing – 10-12 reps each arm
• One-arm (Hang) Clean – 10-12 reps each arm
• Overhead Clean – 10-12 reps each arm
• One-arm Row – 10-12 reps each side

Repeat the circuit if desired, up to three times or for 20 minutes straight with a 45 second rest between circuits. You can also add some Turkish get-ups if you’re feeling froggy.

Hey! Do you like working out with -

• Kettlebells
• Sandbags
• Ropes
• Heavy bags
• Heavy stuff like rocks and logs
• Tires
• Sledgehammers

And other various random manly objects?

Then you should take a look at this workout program. It takes kettle bell workouts and combines them with all kinds of crazy strength and muscle-building routines.

But only get it if you’re serious about functional strength and muscle.

This is my super-simple, “bulk up”, full body strength workout program that I use when I find I am losing limit strength or when I want to put on a few pounds of muscle.

Workout Frequency:

• No more than 3 times per week, per exercise/body part (I usually stick with 2 days and 72 hours between workouts).

Workout Intensity

• High weight (max. resistance = able to hold weight for one second at hardest part of rep)

• Low reps – 5 to 8 reps per set, 3 to 5 sets per exercise (focus on your weak areas)

Workout Duration:

• As long as it takes to finish, minimum 1 min. between sets (preferred – 2-3 minutes)

Exercises:

1. Deadlift
2. Squat
3. Pullup, Lat Pulldown, or Rows
4. Bench Press or Dips
5. Shoulder Press

It’s simple, but it works. Try it for a four or six week cycle!
