Strength and power

The exercise description does not dictate the exact exercise variations, just that it needs to start from dead, and from dead means that you can choose how you perform the exercise required. For example, from dead to strict press means that you need to clean it and there are many kettlebell clean variations and it’s your choice of which one you use.

From dead to half snatch means that you need to snatch it from dead, and there are many kettlebell snatch variations. You can clean and then snatch, you snatch straight from dead into overhead, you can use a backswing from dead into a snatch, and so on.

  2. A solid workout that is scalable to all strength levels (rated 10/10)

    MariaJJM

    This workout is awesome! It hits all the major muscles and is scalable to all strength levels. I did not have a pair of kettlebells so I did this with a single kettlebell, the heaviest one I could strict press. While doing this workout I understood how scalable this is: if you choose to do this with a single kettlebell, you can alternate between right/left all the time, or you can do for example the first two minutes of a task with one side and the switch. Or, of course, you can go with doubles. As the tasks are AMRAP you can adjust the pace to fit your strength and endurance level. This is a great workout, do not miss it!
