Our Promise

Every programme we publish is tested under pressure 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

Supremacy is built for people who have been through the fire and want more. If you completed Volume 1 or 2, or train consistently with kettlebells three days a week, this is your next test. Volume 3 adds bodyweight upper body work alongside the KB programming. Pull ups, chin ups, hand release push ups, dips. Not a replacement for the kettlebell. An addition to it. Every movement has a regression and a progression. No excuses either way.

About this Programme

Six weeks. Three sessions per week. Day 1 is explosive and posterior chain dominant. KB snatches, swings, and burpees. Day 2 builds pressing endurance and grip. Hand release push ups, farmer's walks, squat to high pull, and KB chops. Day 3 develops pulling strength and trunk stability. Chin ups, dual KB RDL, gorilla rows, and hollow body holds.

Week 6 is where Supremacy gets earned. Day 1 is a descending ladder from 10 to 1. KB clean, front squat, thrusters, chin ups, mountain climbers. Day 2 is 10 rounds of double KB clean and jerk paired with 1 minute cardio. Day 3 is the Supremacy Chipper. 50 swings, 40 push ups, 30 squat to high pull, 20 chin ups, 10 thrusters, 50 burpees. Straight through. Finish it.

What You Will Get

Explosive power, pulling and pressing endurance, and the kind of conditioning that only comes from doing hard things consistently. Show up, do the work, find out what Supremacy means.

Explosive Power From the Ground Up
Three sessions per week built around KB snatches, swings, and burpees on Day 1. Every session starts with posterior chain power and builds from there. This is not slow and steady. Volume 3 develops the kind of explosive conditioning that makes everything else feel easier.

Kettlebells & Calisthenics Combined
Volume 3 adds bodyweight upper body work to the KB structure for the first time in the series. Every movement is regressable and progressable. Band assisted or weighted. No matter where you start, there is a harder version waiting. No excuses either way.
benefit-image-2
Built In Progression, No Guesswork
Every week has a clear purpose. Foundations, standard, lock in, push, then Hell Week. The programme builds on itself so that by week 6 you are ready for what is coming. Nothing is random. Nothing is wasted.

Hell Week, Three Tests Not One
A descending ladder for time. Ten rounds of double KB clean and jerk paired with cardio. Then the Supremacy Chipper. 50 swings, 40 push ups, 30 squat to high pull, 20 chin ups, 10 thrusters, 50 burpees. Straight through. Record everything.

FAQs
Do I need to have completed Volume 2 first?
Strongly recommended. Volume 3 assumes you are comfortable with double KB work, high pull patterns, and sustained conditioning efforts. If you have equivalent experience from other KB training that is fine. If you are new to the series, start at Volume 1 Perseverance and work your way here.
Do I need a pull up bar?
Yes. Chin ups are a core movement in Volume 3. If you cannot do an unassisted chin up yet, use a band for regression. The strength to use it unassisted is something you will build. you can do inverted rows if you're really stuck for equipment.
What weight should I use?
Start where you finished Volume 2. Your Hell Week benchmark weights are your Volume 3 starting point. If that feels manageable 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 3 compared to Volume 2?
Volume 3 adds bodyweight upper body work for the first time in the series. Pull ups, chin ups, hand release push ups, and dips sit alongside the KB structure. Day 1 becomes explosive and posterior chain dominant. Hell Week escalates to three separate benchmarks including the Supremacy Chipper.
What is Hell Week in Volume 3?
3 sessions, 3tests. Day 1 is a descending ladder from 10 to 1 across KB cleans, front squats, thrusters, chin ups, and mountain climbers for time. Day 2 is 10 rounds of double KB clean and jerk paired with 1 minute cardio. Day 3 is the a Chipper. Straight through, no rounds, record your time.
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 3 more than once?
Yes. Increase the kettlebell weight and add resistance to the chin ups and push up variations on the second run. Your Hell Week times become your targets to beat.
What comes after Volume 3?
Kettlebell Hell Volume 4 Crucible. The series continues to escalate. Your Volume 3 benchmark times go with you.
Who is this training for?
The committed. People who train because it matters, not because it is convenient. If you are looking for an easy option, this is not it. If you are looking for a programme that will show you what you are capable of, you are in the right place.
