I've also read that it is recommended anybody attempting the SFG Kettlebell cert should be able to press a pair of 24 kg bells for multiple sets of 5. For the past 4-5 months I've been pushing my military presses and am happy to report I finally managed my first set of 5 decent looking reps. Here's todays workout:
Kettlebell Military Presses 6 sets done on the 2nd minute 53's x5x3x2x2 reps, 40's x7x5 reps
2 Handed Kettlebell Swing 12 sets 30 seconds work 30 seconds rest, 4 sets w/53 lb bell, 8 sets w/40
My 2-hand swings are stagnating a little but. It's my grip that is failing me more than anything else. I think I can fix this with barbell deadlifting but still have not picked up an Olympic bar and some plates like I've been meaning to do the past year. I'm also thinking some Farmer Walks with the 53's could help.
My weekly training routine currently looks like this:
Mondays Presses and Swings
Tuesdays Getups and hiking
Weds OFF
Thursdays Heavy Snatches, 1-Arm Swings and Front Squats
Friday Getups and hiking
My hikes usually have 2-3 uphill sprints thrown in which are incredible for conditioning.
