Kettlebell and Bodyweight Superset Workout

I came up with this one last night while at the gym.  It’s not very often that I go to the gym without a workout plan but I’m glad I didn’t have one this time because I came up with this doozy.

Warm Up

10 to 15 minutes of light cardio of your choice to get the blood flowing and get your muscles warm (cold muscles = torn muscles)

Workout

There are two supersets in this workout. The first has two exercises, the second has three exercises.

Superset 1

200 double-handed kettlebell swings
55 chinups

Start with a set of double-handed swings (I did 25 my first set) and immediately follow it up with a set of chinups (I did 10 my first set).  Rest 30 seconds to a minute and repeat until you get to 200 swings and 55 chinups.

For example: I did 8 sets of double-handed swings (25 reps x 8 sets) and 8 sets of Chinups (10 reps/10 reps/8 reps/7 reps/5 reps x 4 sets).

Superset 2

50 clean & press on the right
50 clean & press on the left
50 burpees

Start with a set of clean & press on the right (I did 10 my first set), followed immediately by a set of clean & press on the left (I did 10 my first set),  followed immediately by a set of burpees (I did 10 my first set).

For example: I did 5 sets of ten reps.

Finish with a cool down and some stretching.

For example, I did: 8 set of Chinups (10 reps/10 reps/8 reps/7 reps/5 reps x 4 sets) with 8 sets of double-handed swings (25 reps x 8 sets) and 5 sets of 10 reps for each exercise in the second superset.    Good Luck!

    Holy hardcore batman! What an awesome workout. I'll have to do assisted chin ups but it sounds like one I'll have to try for sure!

      It's a great full-body workout. Make sure you have lots of chalk for your swings!! It should take about 35-45 mins. Let me know how you make out!
