Kettlebell 5×5 Workout (free sample)

The original 5×5 workout is a strength training program that was developed by Bill Starr in the 1970s. The program involves performing 5 sets of 5 reps of a chosen exercise, with the goal of increasing strength and size.  

The 5×5 workout is typically done with compound exercises such as the squat, bench press, and deadlift. However, we are going to adapt this tried-and-true training method to, you guessed it – the kettlebell!

Give this 5×5 kettlebell workout a try, and if you like it, stay tuned – our 28-day 5×5 Kettlebell Challenge opens for registration later this week:
