Return of the Kettlebell (2009)

The sequel for lifters who have outgrown one bell. Pavel Tsatsouline's double-kettlebell program for size and strength is built on Russian block periodization, alternating blocks of grinds, such as double press ladders, with blocks of ballistic work built on double snatches and clean and jerks, so each kind of training gets its own concentrated spell. It is the most demanding plan here. You need a heavy matched pair, solid double cleans and the recovery to back them up, so treat it as a dedicated block rather than something to squeeze around a sport or other training. Lifters who want size from two bells but less of a commitment should look at the Armor Building Formula first.
