Our Promise

Every programme we publish is tested under pressure by our coaches and clients before it goes live. Born out of real training. These are the sessions we do ourselves. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, nothing to sell you beyond the work. All we ask is honesty of effort and a review when you are done.

Who is this Programme For

Kettlebell Hell Volume 2 is built for people who have earned their foundation and are ready to push their work capacity further. If you completed Volume 1 or already train consistently with kettlebells three days a week, this programme will take you to the next level. It suits experienced KB users who want more volume, more variety, and a Hell Week that demands more than the last one.

About this Programme

Six weeks. Three sessions per week. Every session is kettlebell only. The programme runs on a rotating three-day structure. Day 1 builds pressing and squatting strength through double KB front squats, push press, RDL, and KB push up to renegade row. Day 3 develops conditioning and grip endurance through high-volume KB swings and suitcase carries. Day 5 focuses on pulling power and unilateral strength through dual KB high pulls, gorilla rows, single leg deadlifts, and KB marching farmer's walks.

Each week has a clear theme. Foundations in week 1. Setting the Standard in week 2. Locking in across weeks 3 and 4, where the volume beds in and real endurance starts to build. The Big Push in week 5. Then Kettlebell Hell Week to finish. Week 6 is the payoff. Three sessions, three tests. Day 1 is a pressing and lunge circuit for time - off set push ups, crush grip floor press, bicep curls, overhead press, KB halos, and one-arm forward back lunges. Day 3 is a KB complex for time swing, clean, and snatch starting at 6 reps and climbing to 24. Day 5 closes it out with cardio intervals, dual KB thrusters, and swings, all for time. Record everything. These are your numbers.

What You Will Get Out of This

Six weeks from now you will have built real pressing and pulling endurance, developed unilateral stability that carries over to everything, and finished a Hell Week that tests every energy system you have. Volume 2 does not repeat Volume 1. It builds on it. Show up, do the work, and find out what you are capable of.

Endurance Strength in 6 Weeks

Three focused sessions per week, every session kettlebell only. Double front squats, push press, RDL, high pulls, gorilla rows and single leg deadlifts build pressing, pulling and unilateral strength across every major pattern. More volume, more variety, and more demand than Vol 1.

Built-In Progression, No Guesswork

Every week has a clear purpose. Foundations, standard, lock in, push, then Hell Week. You always know what the week demands and why. The programme builds on itself so that by week 6 you are ready for what is coming. Nothing is random.

Grip and Carry Strength That Lasts

Volume 2 adds suitcase carries and marching farmer's walks alongside high-volume swings to build the kind of grip and unilateral endurance that carries over into everything. The conditioning work on Day 3 alone will change what hard feels like.

Hell Week, Three Tests Not One

Week 6 is three separate benchmarks. A pressing and lunge circuit for time. A swing, clean and snatch complex climbing from 6 to 24 reps. A cardio, thruster and swing finisher for time. Record everything. Most programmes do not finish like this.

Train Anywhere, Any Time

Kettlebells and space. That is all this programme needs. Garage, garden, gym or living room. No barbell, no bench, no excuses. Three days per week, structured and complete. Fits around a full life without compromise.

FAQs

Do I need to have completed Volume 1 first?

It is strongly recommended. Volume 2 assumes you are comfortable with the fundamental KB patterns swings, cleans, presses and rows. If you have equivalent experience from other KB training that is fine. If you are brand new to kettlebells, start with Volume 1 Perseverance first.

Do I still need two kettlebells?

Yes. Double front squats and push press require a matching pair. Suitcase carries and single leg deadlifts can be done with one bell. Two bells of the same weight remains the minimum recommended setup.

What weight should I use for Volume 2?

Start heavier than you finished Volume 1. Your Hell Week benchmark weights are your Volume 2 starting point. If that feels too easy by week 2, go heavier. The programme is built around moderate to heavy loads throughout.

How long does each session take?

45 to 60 minutes including the warm-up. The 5 minute cardio raise and 10 minute HWF movement prep precede every session. Neither is optional. Do not start cold.

What is different about Volume 2 compared to Volume 1?

More volume, more variety, and a harder Hell Week. Day 1 adds pressing and unilateral work. Day 3 introduces high-volume swing ladders and suitcase carries. Day 5 builds pulling endurance and grip through farmer's walks and high pulls. Hell Week is three separate timed tests instead of one.

What is Hell Week in Volume 2?

3 sessions, three benchmarks. Day 1 is a pressing and lunge circuit for time. Day 3 is a KB complex swing, clean and snatch climbing from 6 to 24 reps for time. Day 5 closes with cardio intervals, dual KB thrusters and swings for time. Record everything. These are your numbers going into Volume 3.

What if I miss a session?

Pick up where you left off. Do not skip ahead. The programme builds week on week and jumping forward breaks the progression. One missed session will not derail you. A habit of skipping will.

Can I run Volume 2 more than once?

Yes. Increase the kettlebell weight on the second run. Your Hell Week times become your targets to beat. The structure stays the same but heavier load makes it a different programme.

What comes after Volume 2?

Kettlebell Hell Volume 3 Supremacy. The complexity increases again, Hell Week escalates, and your Volume 2 benchmark times become your Volume 3 targets. Run the series in sequence.
