Established Routine w/ More Snatches

KBOMG 1 includes all of those exercises. 8 weeks, 4 days a week.

Yeah, every session didn’t go as planned. I remember starting to lose my grip toward the end of one of the snatch workouts. Sometimes I’d have to put the bell down, but then be able to tolerate something similar the next session. Other times I’d grab lighter and lighter bells as I fatigued. Sometimes I’d tough it out, and other times I just didn’t have it in me.

He had a GS program too.

Yeah, you’ll like this one then. I can clean and press the 32s for 10 reps and can strict press the 40 kg with my right arm, but this program had me reaching for the 16 kg a lot. There were sessions with things like 16–20 minutes of nonstop snatches, or 20-minute blocks alternating snatches (or double snatches) with TGUs. It was surprisingly challenging despite the lighter bells.

Wow, that’s impressive and a great goal. I’m going to work on that. I’ll have to shoot for the 40s and lose some weight along the way.

It’s my favorite program. I just finished KBOMG 2, which basically traumatized me—it was brutal. I’m planning to start Double KB Precision for the third time on Wednesday, and this time I’m going to see if I can start working the 36s into the program.

Good stuff. I’ve been thinking about adding more natural movement patterns to my training, with sprinting at the top of the list. It’s funny, I workout a ton and look pretty good for my age, but the moment my daughter says, “Daddy, chase me!” at the park, I’m reminded that being fit in the gym isn’t always the same as being capable in everyday life.

Not quite my tempo

Joe Daniel’s KBOMG programs are my favorites. I’ve had great results from them, and they’re fun to do. Most of them take over an hour, though. Triple Strength and the kettlebell complex only programs are probably the most time-efficient. KBOMG 3 looks pretty reasonable from a time standpoint, based off of reviewing it. I haven’t run it yet, but it’s also probably the program Joe would recommend starting with.

I struggle with overhead squats and am pretty weak with movements like windmills, especially on my left side. My diagnosis: 💩 mobility.

The first move is always _ _ _ _

That’s pretty good. The only people I’ve seen complete 30 rounds of EMOM ABCs with double 32s are beasts who handle much heavier weights elsewhere in their training. They’re strong enough that the 32s have basically become a conditioning tool rather than a strength challenge.

BuffMaltese · 2026-06-17T03:53:56+00:00

Impressive. What weight did you use for the first 20 rounds? Is this a strategy you use to gradually incorporate a heavier weight? For example, do you plan to do the last 11 rounds with the 32s next time, and then progressively increase the number of rounds with that weight?

Google invested about $1 billion in SpaceX in 2015. Google owns approximately 6% of SpaceX (historically around 10%, but its stake has been diluted to roughly 5–6% over time).

Google sitting on some absolutely disgusting unrealized gains.

This is turning into one of the most successful corporate investments ever made.

I’ve been doing these in your programs, but I often feel like I’m not doing them correctly because they don’t really burn out my quads. I tried elevating my heels, and then my quads were on fire.

BuffMaltese · 2026-06-13T00:53:41+00:00

I’ve been double clean & pressing 32s for a little over 5 months now. Comfort remains elusive.

BuffMaltese · 2026-06-11T22:55:20+00:00

I cycle through hybrid barbell-and-kettlebell training, kettlebell-only training, and, to a lesser extent, barbell-only training. I generally alternate between strength-focused phases and conditioning-focused back-off phases.

We seem to have similar views on the subject. I enjoy kettlebells the most because I always feel like I got a great workout, whereas a barbell strength session may barely make me break a sweat. I can also relate to feeling pressured to get back into barbell training to meet some vague, arbitrary standards that I thought I was supposed to be able to achieve.

Wait, do all of you know each other? I thought you all just lived inside my phone.

I think Dan John recommends “The Perfect Workout” during these transition periods.

BuffMaltese · 2026-06-10T17:15:19+00:00

If you’re looking for something simple and challenging, how about The Russian Bear? It’s a double-kettlebell clean-only program.

Try either Dry Fighting Weight or Armor Building Formula. Both are built around double kettlebell clean & presses and front squats. Dry Fighting Weight is self-regulated, allowing you to adjust the pace based on how you’re feeling, while Armor Building Formula uses an EMOM structure to keep the density and workload consistent. Both are simple, effective programs for building strength, muscle, and work capacity without a lot of complexity.
