You need to grunt to get those last reps out — drop sets, where we're going heavy first and then down in the weight and down in the weight.
Session flow
The full workout from start to finish — each colour shows effort level at that moment.
Which muscle groups this workout targets most.
Double kettlebell floor chest press is the primary scored exercise across all three cycles and twelve total rounds.
One full minute of crunch variations per round across twelve rounds gives the anterior core sustained high-volume work.
The bridge component activates the glutes and posterior chain throughout every chest press rep.
Heels-close bridging engages the hamstrings as a secondary mover in the bridge and chest press combination.
The lockout phase of the double kettlebell chest press places significant demand on the triceps.
Heavy double kettlebell bridge and chest press AMRAPs build significant chest and tricep pressing strength through max-effort sets.
Four rounds of one-minute AMRAPs per cycle, repeated across three cycles, develops pressing and core endurance across extended duration.
Each round includes one full minute of crunch variations targeting all aspects of the anterior core — forward, lateral, and rotational.
Drop set programming with mandatory active rest means there is no lying still — the rule is if you are not crunching, you are bridging.
