This is brilliant. Very jealous.
We have just gone into tier 4 so gyms close from friday. Any suggestions for a lockdown programme when all I have is a 20kg kettlebell and a pull up bar?
I was thinking something like 5 x 10 pull ups, 3 x 10 air squats, 3 x 10 KB squats and maybe KB clean and press.
Will throw in half a n hour on the turbo the days I dont do the above.
Just pulled that out of thin air so any improvements or suggestions gratefully received.

A few of my favorites with that equipment are:
- One arm row
- Snatches
- Push-ups
- Turkish getups
- Regular kettlebell swings
- Hanging knee raise
I’d also suggest variations of those you suggested, like close grip underhand pull-ups (for more biceps) and wide grip for more lats.
For some structure, try to do one push, one pull and one leg. You can do that in a superset. Then do 1-2 of those and some core work (like one of the last 3 suggestions).
- One arm row

5 x 10 pulls ups are surely harder than 3 x 10 squats and 3 x 10 KB squats?
I've found combining pullups and kettlebells really hard on my forearms and grip strength.
3 x 10 pull ups, 3 x 20 KB squats, 3 x 20 KB swings + clean and presses?
If you have only one weight kettlebell, you'll have to increase sets/reps as you get stronger.

All of the above, maybe do some single leg stuff to add imbalance and to make the exercises harder? KB lunges, KB single leg squats etc

I recieved some more plates and made a simple plate storage unit last week.
Training wise I’m doing Starting Strength but I added chin/pullups straight away because I really like doing them 😅 (and some bicep/tricep work ‘cause vain...)
Edit; Oh, and started making a simple bench at work today. Reclaimed oak top and steel legs.
