Grinding Strength Workout—WKV 2020

The WKV project is created by Cavemantraining to unite people from across the world, no religion, politics, colors, or borders. Just kettlebells.

 

 

The Kettlebell Workout

A grinding strength workout with some cardio mixed in. For the video, the weight will not matter, but if you want to use this workout in your regular training—which you should—then note that the first sequence (A) should be performed with a medium weight as it’s still part of the warm-up and the subsequent ones with a heavier weight. The first sequence (B) should be performed with a medium to heavy weight (20kg) and the subsequent one should be performed with the heaviest weight possible (24kg++).

Session structure

  • 4 minutes bodyweight warm-up
  • 10 seconds transition
  • 2 minutes sequence A)
  • 10 seconds transition
  • 6 minutes EMOM sequence B)
  • 10 seconds transition
  • 2 minutes sequence A)
  • 10 seconds transition
  • 6 minutes EMOM sequence B)
  • 10 seconds transition
  • 2 minutes sequence A)

All up, about 22 minutes of work.

The movements are grinding, which means you go as slow as possible, the intention is to take as long as you can and complete the full sequence B) in about 50 seconds which gives you about 10 seconds to rest before the next rep. If you can, make the sequence last for the full minute.

Now select which level you will do, beginner, intermediate, advanced, or all?
