Double Kettlebell Clean and Press - Rep Max Test

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs0CDyZFEUc (Opens in a new window)

The Double Kettlebell Clean and Press is arguably the most "complete" kettlebell exercise you can do to change your capability and your appearance.

Performing the Clean & Press with a pair of kettlebells is one of the most complete “exercises” there is.

It works your upper and lower body.

And it works almost all the fundamental human movement patters: Push, Pull, Squat, Bend, Lunge, Twist, Walk (Gait).

It’s a -

✅  Bend

✅  Pull

✅  Push

✅  Squat 

Squat?

Yes, there’s some knee bend in there, so your quads get some work, but without the leg chafing that comes from heavy squats.

Think about it:

Hips

Hamstrings

Calves

Abs

Lower back

Hands/Fingers

Forearms

Biceps

Triceps

Shoulders

Upper back

Lats

… All worked from simply picking a pair of kettlebells up and pressing them over head.

Not to mention when you do them for reps.

That's a game changer.

In this video I decided to take my 32kg kettlebells for a spin and do a double kettlebell clean and press rep max test.

I did a "comfortable" 10 at an 8 out of 10 RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion).

I could've probably squeezed out 2 more.

A 10RM is a great load to force some noticeable changes to take place in your body.

Assuming you have your programming dialed in.

I put together a kettlebell workout (Opens in a new window) program based on the Clean and Press - you can use single or double...

... That a lot of guys over 30 are really enjoying.

They're reporting back things like the following -

💪  Shirts start fitting “differently” across the shoulders and upper back…

💪  Shirt sleeves start feeling tighter.

💪  Veins in your forearms that weren’t there before. Or at least you didn’t notice…

💪  Jeans than button easily and are no longer as snug in the waist like they once were.

💪  Every day activities, like running up and down the stairs are a breeze

This new kettlebell workout program is based upon your 10RM or your 5RM of you kettlebell clean and press, with 1 or 2 reps of "wiggle room" on either side.

It's called "THE GIANT" and it's only a max of 90 minutes a week.
