One kettlebell you can press five times each side, and room overhead. A second, lighter bell is useful for the jerk in the first weeks and is not required.

Week 1

Day 1 Clean

The clean is a swing that ends at your shoulder: keep your elbow close and let the bell roll round your hand rather than flip over it. Rest 90 sec.

Day 2 Overhead

Jerk: dip, drive, then drop under the bell and catch it on a straight arm. If your arm is pressing it out, the bell is too heavy for today.

Day 3 Clean and Jerk

Every rep is a clean, a breath in the rack, then a jerk. Set the bell down between sides. Rest 2 min between sets.
