Our gym recently added  an 88 lbs kettlebell so lately I have been mixing barbell training with kettlebell training in the same workout instead of separating them. This allows me to do some heavy lifting and then some metabolic work in the same session, which I think is great!

Here is the workout I did today.

• Heavy Deadlifts, work up to a max single, don’t be afraid to miss your last pull
• Kettlebell Swings 3 x 10-15 (or more if you don’t have a heavy bell)
• Two Hand High Pull 2 x 10
• Clean 1 x 10 each arm

As you can see I didn’t do a ton of volume with the kettlebell. There are two reasons for this, first off I was pretty tired from maxing out on the deadlift, and secondly this was my first time using an 88 lber in about 1 year. A workout like this is more stressfull than you might realize and pushing it too much with a ton of volume could do more harm than good.
