My NEW Kettlebell 5×5 Program launches this week – I am so pumped!!

This is the classic 5×5 program for strength and muscle, with a kettlebell twist.

With this new method, you’re going to use the classic 5×5 training method, but you’ll use kettlebell exercises, which will not only help you gain strength and size, but you’ll build your core, mobility, and avoid injury, all at the same time.

Check out this sample workout (from a previous version of Kettlebell 5×5), then stay tuned for version 2.0, new and updated for 2023!
