Dry Fighting Weight (DFW) is a fairly minimalistic kettlebell program centered around 2 exercises:

  1. Clean & Press
  2. Front Squat

Each session in a workout is 30 minutes (not including warmup), and the goal is to do as many reps as possible without blowing yourself up. It shouldn’t feel like a Crossfit-style metcon.

You can use a single kb or double kbs, as appropriate. But double kbs is probably better.

DFW is a 4-week program structured like so:

Week #1:

  • Day 1: Ladders. 1, 2, 3
  • Day 2: Sets of 1
  • Day 3: Sets of 2

Week #2:

  • Day 1: Ladders. 1, 2, 3
  • Day 2: Sets of 1
  • Day 3: Sets of 3

Week #3:

  • Day 1: Ladders. 1, 2, 3, 4
  • Day 2: Sets of 2
  • Day 3: Sets of 3

Week #4:

  • Day 1: Ladders. 1, 2, 3, 4, (5)
  • Day 2: Sets of 2
  • Day 3: Alternate between sets of 3 and 4 if possible.

Week #5:

  • Day 1: Perform 3×3.
  • Day 2: Perform a new RM with the same kettlebell(s) you used for the previous 4 weeks. Or you may go up to a heavier kettlebell(s) and perform a new RM.
