Double Kettlebell Clean and Press - Rep Max Test

The Double Kettlebell Clean and Press is arguably the most "complete" kettlebell exercise you can do to change your capability and your appearance.

Performing the Clean & Press with a pair of kettlebells is one of the most complete “exercises” there is.
It works your upper and lower body.
And it works almost all the fundamental human movement patters: Push, Pull, Squat, Bend, Lunge, Twist, Walk (Gait).
It’s a -
✅  Bend
✅  Pull
✅  Push
✅  Squat
Squat?
Yes, there’s some knee bend in there, so your quads get some work, but without the leg chafing that comes from heavy squats.

Think about it:
Hips
Hamstrings
Calves
Abs
Lower back
Hands/Fingers
Forearms
Biceps
Triceps
Shoulders
Upper back
Lats
… All worked from simply picking a pair of kettlebells up and pressing them over head.
Not to mention when you do them for reps.
That's a game changer.

In this video I decided to take my 32kg kettlebells for a spin and do a double kettlebell clean and press rep max test.
I did a "comfortable" 10 at an 8 out of 10 RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion).
I could've probably squeezed out 2 more.
A 10RM is a great load to force some noticeable changes to take place in your body.
Assuming you have your programming dialed in.

I put together a kettlebell workout program based on the Clean and Press - you can use single or double...
... That a lot of guys over 30 are really enjoying.
They're reporting back things like the following -
💪  Shirts start fitting “differently” across the shoulders and upper back…
💪  Shirt sleeves start feeling tighter.
💪  Veins in your forearms that weren’t there before. Or at least you didn’t notice…
💪  Jeans than button easily and are no longer as snug in the waist like they once were.
💪  Every day activities, like running up and down the stairs are a breeze

This new kettlebell workout program is based upon your 10RM or your 5RM of you kettlebell clean and press, with 1 or 2 reps of "wiggle room" on either side.
It's called "THE GIANT" and it's only a max of 90 minutes a week.

Double Kettlebell Exercises — The Strong! Program

Image
There are three various training cycles within the "Strong!" program. The first is an 8 to 12-week block that trains your strength, based upon your 4 repeating maximum (RM), keeping the variety of repeatings low-- between 1 and 3-- and the variety of sets high. Rest between sets is "... as necessary ..." with the objective being "... to make each and every rep." Auto-regulation at its heart. Sounds noticeably comparable to EMOM A+A (every minute on the minute, alactic + aerobic) procedures from Strong Endurance ™, doesn't it? The second cycle trains work capacity and/or hypertrophy. It has two variations: the "Short Course" and the "Slow and Steady." The very first variation has you double your beginning volume in 4 to 6 weeks. The second, is more merciful, and spreads it out over 16 to 24 weeks. Both are created to make your old 4RM starting weight feel like a toy. However, because its objective is to develop muscle mass and/o
