Clean and Press Progression Table

Don't know the clean and jerk progression sequence? Here you go!

1 x (1)
2 x (1)
3 x (1)
4 x (1)
5 x (1)
3 x (1,2)
4 x (1,2)
5 x (1,2)
3 x (1,2,3)
4 x (1,2,3)
5 x (1,2,3)
3 x (1,2,3,4)
4 x (1,2,3,4)
5 x (1,2,3,4)
3 x (1,2,3,4,5)
4 x (1,2,3,4,5)
5 x (1,2,3,4,5)

 Rest between each set can be anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes (the lighter the kettlebell, the less rest is needed). Once you hit 5 x (1,2,3,4,5) with a weight it is time to move up to a heavier kettlebell and start over. Until you are slinging a 48kg (105 pounds!) kettlebell around, this sequence can last you a lifetime and it will always work! The key point is to TAKE IT SLOW. If you finish a progression, wait to move up - do not move up the same day! If you don't finish a progression (hopefully you are keeping a log) and get for example, 5 x (1, 2, 3, 1) on either side, your goal is to get at least 5 x (1, 2, 3, 2) the next time around. DO NOT progress if you don't reach the amount required for each level on BOTH sides. It is suggested you start any kettlebell drill on your WEAK (non-dominate) side.
