18-min KB MRT Circuit

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Happy Monday, Reader

Here’s a brutal, efficient kettlebell circuit straight from one of the strength-focused programs inside Olympus Trials Kettlebell — my new training system built for real-world warriors:

Kettlebell MRT Circuit: “Titan’s Trial”

PART 1 – Complete 4 Rounds:
Work for 45 seconds per movement. Rest 1 minute between rounds.

  • Kettlebell Push Press – Right Side
  • Kettlebell Push Press – Left Side
  • Bottom-Half KB Suitcase Split Squats – Right Side
  • Bottom-Half KB Suitcase Split Squats – Left Side
  • Cross-Body Mountain Climbers + Push-Ups
  • Jumping Jacks

Suggested Weights:

  • Women: 12–16kg (push press), 8–12kg (split squats)
  • Men: 20–24kg (push press), 16–20kg (split squats)

PART 2– Finisher (bonus / optional 8-Minute AMRAP):

  • V-Sit Hold – 30 seconds
  • Single KB “Total Body Attack” – 5 reps
    (Use same weight as split squat)

It’s tough, efficient, and hits everything — strength, power, and conditioning — in under 30 minutes.

This is just one session from the 120+ workouts inside the Olympus Trials Kettlebell bundle.

If you’re serious about building strength, dropping fat, and reclaiming your edge — all in 3–4 short sessions a week — this is the program for you:

Got a message from a reader this week that pretty much sums up what most people want out of their workouts. Here’s what he said: “I just want to take the thought process out of this. I want to open up something, and it tells me what I need to do for that day. I want something simple. Lay it out to me, and I follow along. I don’t want to have to reinvent the wheel just to work out.” If that’s you, here’s what I’d recommend. My next 28-day kettlebell challenge is called the 100/5 Challenge....

Standards for the 100/5 Kettlebell Challenge Beginner – 12k women, 20k men Intermediate – 16k women, 24k men Advanced – 20k women, 32k men Now, if you are coming back after a layoff, injury, etc., should you start here?...
