Kettlebell challenge

August 2014-- from Forest Vance
 
YouTube.com/forestvancetraining-- good demo videos and ideas

Kettlebell Challenge Workout
2 Clean and Presses on each side
4 Snatches on each side
12 Goblet Squats
16 Hand to Hand Swings
Repeat this circuit 5 times as fast as possible.
Additional notes
Official KB weight for this challenge is 24k (men)/16k (women).
That being said, do NOT attempt the workout with the official weight unless you have an adequate level of strength and conditioning. Meaning, quite simply, that you must be able to handle the load safely and under control for the duration for the workout. If you're not ready yet for the official weight, no worries - do the workout with a lighter weight that you know you can handle, but will still challenge you.
Bottom line, use good judgement, and work out safely.
Time standards
Done with good form, non-stop, each round/circuit will take you approx 1:30 to 1:45 to complete. With that in mind, here are some general guidelines for time:
14 mins or less = good
12 mins. or less = great
10 mins. or less = elite
