"Return of the Kettlebell" - Week 6/ Day 3 - Reduce the Training Time...

I am back to the grind block today: Double Snatch, Double Press, Double Squat and Deadlifts. I added another ladder to make it 5 ladders of 3 rungs.

I completed my training in 24 minutes today down from 32 last week (escalating density) which is a 33% reduction in time! I am going to try to shave a bit more time off next grind block and then add another rung to my 5 ladders to make it 5 ladders with 4 rungs.


I used the 32kg bells - "Heavy" day

Double Snatch into Press:
1x1 1 rep
1x2 2 reps
1x3 3 reps and 5 squats

I did the above 5 times

I finished with:

Deadlifts - 32kg bells - 2x20

15 double snatches
30 double presses
25 double squats
40 deadlifts

110 reps @ 64kg per rep = 15,488lbs lifted
