Rethinking the “PERFECT” Kettlebell Workout Plan (3 Ingredients) - PART 3
Today we’re covering “O________”.
So let’s dive in.
The “O” is formed from:
[1] Volume
Which is the total amount of work performed (sets reps load)
[2] Intensity
Which, to quote Dr. Fred Hatfield (I think), “is not a grimace and backwards baseball cap” but rather the percentage of your maximum load - or Repetition Maximum - 1RM, 2RM, 3RM, 5RM, or 10RM… or any RM.
[3] Effort
So, the PERFECT PROGRAM - or “ALMOST PERFECT” PROGRAM for you, {first_name},...
The one that produces OPTIMUM RESULTS - that “Sweet Spot” right in the middle, is the “Perfect Blend” of
