For example: Heavy day - squat 5 sets x 5 reps; press 5 sets x 5 reps (progression can include using heavier weight) Speed day - speed squat 5 reps then immediately explosively press or jerk 5 reps; repeat for 5 rounds Circuit/endurance day - squat to press = 1 rep; do 15 reps then rest; do 3 times (progression can include going faster, heavier, or using shorter rest) Timed rounds day - 1 min squats; 1 min press; rest 1 min then repeat (progression can include more reps in a minute or longer time/shorter rest) Get the idea? @Cathy: You can progress KBs in a few ways:

* # of reps (I prefer time, personally, because I tend to zone out and lose count!)

Speed day – speed squat 5 reps then immediately explosively press or jerk 5 reps; repeat for 5 rounds

I've been reading your site for quite some time now. I'm really interested in kettlebells/kettlestacks so that I can do my training at home, instead of a a gym where nothing like that exists! Do you still use the KS? If so, would you be willing to share a few workout progressions? Thanks! Hi, Krista! I’ve been reading your site for quite some time now.
