200-Rep Kettlebell “Skill Day”
|
Hey, I hope you had a great Easter. Now it’s a new week, and we’re starting our Gladiator Kettlebell Tetrad Challenge today. I’m pretty excited about it. Over the last couple of days, I shared a “Preparation” day and a “Test” day with you – sample workouts from the program. Today I want to show you the third part of this training cycle: the skill day. *If you still want to jump in for Gladiator Tetrad Kettlebell, you can. We’re starting today, but this will be your last chance to join at the beginning. Once we get rolling, it’ll be harder to jump in and keep up. You can check it out at the link below if you haven’t already: -> Gladiator Tetrad Kettlebell (starts today, Monday, April 6th 2026) —– 200 Rep Kettlebell “Skill Day” Do 20 reps of each exercise listed below. You can rest as needed, but you CANNOT move on to the next exercise until you have completed all 20 reps:
STANDARD VERSION – do one round ADVANCED VERSION – rest and repeat for a total of 400 reps! —– Now. We’ve gone over each day of the "Tetrad" kettlebell cycle individually, so you should have a decent idea of what to expect. But the real value comes from putting them all together and following the full program. If you want to be stronger, leaner, and move better 28 days from now, I’d recommend just jumping in for the Challenge.

Reader - Did you run the kettlebell prep 17-Min “Gladiator Build” KB Complex that I sent you yesterday? That’s the first part of how this is set up. You see, in Gladiator Kettlebell, we use a four-day training cycle called the tetrad that dates back to ancient athletics and was described by Philostratus, who wrote about how athletes prepared for competition. Here's how it works: The first day, which was yesterday, was a sample of that. We do what is called a prep. It consists of short,...
There’s a certain feeling you used to have when it came to training. You didn’t overthink it; you just showed up, and you were ready to go. You felt strong, capable, and like you could handle whatever you threw at yourself that day. For many of us, that came from sports, the military, or just training hard in our 20s without much thought. Over time, that starts to change. Life gets busy, work and family take priority, you pick up a few injuries, and workouts become less consistent. Now,...
We had a great training session this morning at the studio. It was snatch day — and if you’ve never done a kettlebell snatch protocol built around hitting a target number on the minute, every minute, you’re missing out. It’s one of those workouts that looks simple on paper and humbles you fast. Here’s exactly what we did: —– KB Snatch Workout – 4.2.26 A. Turkish Get-Up + Waiter’s Walk — 3 rounds per side — 1 TGU up → waiter’s walk 30 seconds → 1 TGU down— Complete all reps on one side before...
