Kettlebell Practice – Wednesday
The flow of this session is awesome. I think it would be a great one to fall back on, when you don’t feel like coming up with a new program for the day. This is strength and cardio in one – beautiful.
Right hand: single hand swing, single hand clean, front squat, military press. Do this up to five times and then do the same with the left hand. Rest and repeat.
I had been doing this with the 10kg kettlebell and had planned to do the same today. After the first round, I decided to try it with the 12kg bell, knowing I might have to reduce the reps or number of rounds. (My shoulders are (one of) my weak spot(s) and presses with the 12kg have been a struggle.) To my surprise, I was able to complete the session with the 12 with no modification at all.
YES!!!
I think I’m seeing the benefit of the Turkish Get Ups. I know that the press was easier because the preceding movement was a squat, and that my legs helped power the bell up. However, it was a huge step forward and I am psyched!
That’s what I love about strength training -seeing rewards for your hard work.

PS – TGUs are my fav!
Hey Sarah,
I’m enjoying your blog. Reading your KB practice – are you left or right-handed? If I may suggest starting with your weak side first. This will help you develop technique. Keep it up!
Daniel, I am right handed and the injury was to the right. Up until recently I believe the left was stronger, but I noticed today that the presses were easier on the right. Great suggestion! I will definitely remember to start on the left. Thanks!!
Thanks, Sarah! I am so glad you are here! I am watching your progress in all your endeavors as well, and love your energy. Kettlebell Sarahs unite!
Glad to see you progressing so much! I think everything coming around:)
Always great to see improvement! Keep it up!
Great work and fantastic progress! I love kettlebell flow drills. When they really work they’re like dancing
