Kettlebell Hell

Leave a Reply
Got back into this sexy workout today with 28kg and 20kg ‘bells. 9mins, which I’m pretty pleased about given I was tired and in a gym with no air-con in 30 degree heat! Next time around, I’ll pick up the 32kg kettlebell that was looking at me while I did the workout…
Got my ass handed to me. 14:53 with 16 and 24kg. Looking forward to a rematch in the near future!
Crazy times that you guys achieved there! On paper it felt like 6 min. I ended up with 11:35. I will do it again next week under 10 min, so there`s my first challenge. I used 24 / 16 kg. I had no gopros here for fancy camera angles, hope the disturbing 80ies music makes up for it. Cheers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjurPSE_s_U&feature=youtu.be
OK it’s time to revisit the Kettlebell Hell workout, who is in this week?
New personal best 7m58s at 20/16kg
Hey Brian + LRA’ers, Took the challenge, video at link. This was as much an exercise in me posting video (or pictures) of myself publicly for the first time – something I have purposely avoided to this point because I have preferred to be more private – but obviously to be a KPI I need to do the exact opposite so time to jump in. Being the first upload, of course I made the mistake of vertical video : ) 44kg (97lb) two-handed swing 20kg (45lb) snatch Didn’t time exactly, but video ran over 11min. Starting with lower weight range… Read more »

Hell yehh!!! Good work there, really pushing it to the limit. I’ll have to push myself harder to improve my time. Beating you’re time is the the goal so, 6:50, here I come 😉 Only 1:15 min to improve by.
ha ha I just kept thinking about YOU (@sigurdur-olafsson) the whole time!! The key is minimising those 2 breaks, if you can push through and take the pain you can cut them down to 25 or 30 seconds each. Show Me The Money!!! :))
Yehh, exactly. In the end you are just going through the whole lot without breaks 😉 @londonrealtv – I’m coming for your time.
Hey man! Great! Go go go !!!

Five minutes fifty one sec as promised 🙂
Managed 6:05 today, but with a much lower load, so doesn’t really count. Will try to knock it down to less than 6 tomorrow anyway
6.10… 32kg/20kg had to do 2 x 16’s for swings.
Six minutes fifty one seconds a day after playing squash, BOOM
pain is temporary, inflated sense of self eternal 😉
I need to admit I was doing 30 burpees a day for last two weeks and used a lightweight medicine ball with handles rather than KB, need to up weight
wow! i tried this out in the gym today. “Kettlebell hell” is very aptly named.
good stuff Alex what was your time!! I’m posting my FULL VIDEO of “the hell” this Thursday!
my time was 9:04:52, using a 20kg for the swing and a 12kg for the snatch. working on getting the technique right before i up the ante to 32/20.
Nice work Alex next we need a video!! Take it on your phone and upload to YouTube….I’ll post mine tomorrow!
7:24 @ 32 and 20 KG Kettlebell. Thanks for the Challenge Brian. Keep ’em coming it was nastier than I thought.
Stay Strong,
Marco 🙂
Damn Siggi you’re one bad mofo!! Sick form and you look so relaxed!! Now I got YOUR time to beat this week, ha ha.
And George nice to see your time drop so fast, can’t wait to see your next post!
Super impressed with everyone.
As promised, shot earlier today: https://youtu.be/1-T3pVgYBpk
Just completed the challenge with 32/20 kg in approx. 9 min.
Video coming up later today.
Good work everyone!! This workout is no joke, whatever size Bells you use. Make sure you start small as the snatch can do a number on your back if you don’t use good form. Jon the 20kg snatches for A START is a bit intense! I do this once a week and your times will drop as you’ll find you can cut your breaks to 60 seconds (only 2 of them!!) It will increase your overall cardio in a big way and get your legs and core nice and strong. Great work everyone, I’m super impressed (and Brenda gets BIG… Read more »
10.47 min overall.
This was my first time using kettle balls. I YouTubed how to do proper form and went at it. My bells were only about 2kgs/5 lbs and 4kgs/10 lbs.
It was still hard though. Burpees are not my idea of fun.
niiiice
Bloody hell, that was harder than I thought! I got 11m 28s on my first go with 20kg/16kg bells.
Getting the hang of it now… 9:02 – same weights.
I got 2.08 in round 1, 2.10 for round 2, 1.56 for round 3. I guess I need heavier KBs. I only have 8s.
Fantastic – can’t wait to try this one!
(Btw, you’ve written ‘Repeat x2 (3 Rounds Total)’ above, but I’m guessing that’s meant to be ‘x3’, right?)
Well that was tough, not helped by my poor, beginner’s form, but I got 11:20 for the time, using 24kg for the swings (biggest bell in the gym, sadly), and 20 for the snatches.
YEESS!! Love KBs!!!
Hi Brian
Have you ever tried to see how many KB swings you can do in 20 minutes with 20kg KB, Its a tough challenge, would love to see how many swings you do.
