Today I’m going to give you two sample double kettlebell workouts that utilize the exercises we went over last time.
Double Kettlebell Circuit Workout
This one combines each double kettlebell drill into a flowing circuit workout:
10 Double Snatches
15 Double Squats
10 Double Clean + Presses
15 Double Swings
Repeat circuit five times. Make sure to include a kettlebell warm up beforehand.
Double Kettlebells For Muscle Gain
This workout is designed with a muscle gain goal in mind. I’ve added Pull Ups for a pulling exercise – you can hang a KB from your foot if five Pull Ups with your own body weight is too easy.
Perform exercise ‘A’ in each sequence, move directly to exercise ‘B’, rest 60 seconds, and repeat each pairing three more times for a total of four sets of each exercise.
Again, make sure to include a short warm up before your workout.
1A. 5 Double Clean and Presses
1B. 5 Pull Ups
2A. 10 Double Swings
2B. 10 Double Front Squats
