Send me a Direct Message with the word “COMPLEX” and I’ll send you a FREE week of kettlebell training from my 8-week program. Want your dad arms to fill out your sleeves? Start here. This kneeling complex takes your legs out of the equation so your upper body has nowhere to hide. Every movement starts with a curl, keeping constant tension on your grip, forearms, and biceps while attacking your shoulders, chest, lats, and triceps from multiple angles. The result? More time under tension. More muscle recruited. More opportunities to build thicker, stronger arms. 7 Rounds * 4 Reverse Curl + Upright Row * 4 Curl + Halo * 4 Curl + Press * 4 Curl + Pullover * 10 Close-Grip Kettlebell Push-Ups I used a 20 kg (44 lb) kettlebell. Weight Suggestions: * Beginner: 8–12 kg (18–26 lb) * Intermediate: 12–16 kg (26–35 lb) * Advanced: 20–24 kg (44–53 lb) What each movement is doing: • Reverse Curl + Upright Row: Build thicker forearms, target the brachialis to help your arms fill out your sleeves, and develop broader shoulders and upper traps. • Curl + Halo: Keep tension on the biceps while improving shoulder mobility, rotator cuff strength, and overhead control. • Curl + Press: Build bigger biceps, stronger shoulders, and pressing strength that carries over to lifting, carrying, and everyday life. • Curl + Pullover: Train your lats, chest, serratus, and triceps while improving overhead mobility and shoulder stability. • Close-Grip Kettlebell Push-Ups: Finish each round by building triceps, chest, shoulder stability, and the lockout strength that makes your arms look complete. Kneeling removes momentum and forces every rep to come from your upper body and core. No cheating. Just quality reps. Rest as needed, but focus on maintaining clean technique every round. Save this workout and let me know how many rounds you complete. Follow for more effective workouts to help you get lean, strong, athletic, and functional in 45 minutes or less. #functionalfitness #kettlebelltraining #kettlebellworkout #homeworkouts #dadbod

Transcript

You want your dad arms to fill out your sleeves? Try this brutally effective kneeling kettlebell complex. We're kneeling during this complex because it isolates your upper body and eliminates leg drive. Start each round with a reverse curl plus an upright row. The reverse curl targets your brachialis, forearms, two muscles that add thickness and help fill out those sleeves. 4 curl + halo. Adjust your grip without dropping the bell and we're doing four curl, two halos each side. If you want happy and healthy shoulders, do halos. Shoulder mobility, stability is what we're targeting here. Keep an eye on your biceps, they're going to be active in every movement remaining in this complex. Don't do. 4 curl + press. Do not drop that bell. Our fourth movement is forecurl into a press. Before each rep, brace your core, then control the curl and explosively press the bell overhead with your biceps finishing by your ears. Our biceps have now been under tension for 10 reps. They will be experiencing fatigue at this point in the complex. Do your best to keep controlling that bell as you curl it up. 4 curl + pullover. Because those biceps still have four reps to complete. Our last movement before dropping the bell to the ground is four curls plus a pullover. This is where the wheels fell off for me every round. Your biceps will be screaming. Do your best to keep your ribs stacked and not let your lower back arch. Trust me, that is easier said than done. As you can see, outside of the obvious strain on your biceps, the pullover part of this movement opens your shoulders, strengthens your lats, your serratus, and the long head of your triceps. Your grip and biceps finally find relief. Drop that bell down and we're performing 10 KB push ups, kettlebell close grip pushups to finish. Both hands on the bell. Brace your core and drop into a push-up, touching your chest to the bell each rep. Fight for each one of these reps. You know what I'm going to say. Don't forget to breathe. You just completed 1 round. Contemplate your life choices, but congratulate yourself because you just completed 1 round. Rest 2 min between rounds, 7 rounds total. If you're looking to get into kettlebell training, but just don't know where to start, send me a message with the word "complex" for a free week of kettlebell training on me. Follow for more. Stay strong.
