Powerlifting and Kettlebells

Powerlifting and Kettlebells

Have found this great article on training Kettlebells alongside training powerlifting.

Donnie Thompson has written a great article on how he does this and some actual training sessions that he does. Check it out at Powerlifting and Kettlebells


Here is one day from his training routine posted on www.elitefts.com
Friday - Speed bench and heavy shoulders.

* Double swings outside the legs to eye level. 3X6-8. Climb the ladder 70's, 88's for two sets.
* Double snatches outside the legs. 3X6-8; Same sequence as above.
* Double snatches and presses outside the legs. 3X6-8; Same sequence as above
* Double bottoms up snatches and press. 3X5; using the 70lbs KB
* Last is one arm snatches between the legs. Line up a 70, an 88, and a 106 for a ladder. I do 5-7 reps. I then take a brief rest and begin another ladder. Note how I switch my arms. The first ladder: 70L, 88R, 106L. The second ladder: 70R, 88L, 106R.

I really like the idea of using double kettlebells outside the legs, a surefire way to hit the core through and through.
