KB Strength Test (300 rep Challenge inside)


If you are looking to test your strength, kettlebell form, mental capacity, and lungs… I dare you to take this test.

It’s a sample from the 300 Kettlebell Challenge 2.0 – where you’ll do a strength (and overall fitness) test at the beginning of the 28-day program – a special 300-rep kettlebell workout.

It gives you a great, measurable starting point. It also helps you set goals for the end.

Then, for the main program, you do workouts that will help you do better at that original “benchmark” training session – and at the same time, help you with things like:

– Losing fat
– Gaining lean muscle
– Strengthening your core
– Getting more flexible
– Improving overall performance

We even do a different 300–rep kettlebell workout every week just for fun, and so that you can see your fitness improving along the way – like this:
