With a single kettlebell complete:
70 sumo deadlift high-pulls
60 swings
50 squats (with the KB)
40 push presses
30 Turkish Get-ups
“This is my kettlebell. There are many like it, but this one is mine.”
— Matthew Sherburne, MetFix Misfit Gym
Coach Sherburne emphasizes the volume of reps here, 250 total, and cautions athletes to choose a kettlebell wisely, aiming to finish in less than 25 minutes (10 reps / minute.)
Choose a kettlebell that you can do all the movements with. If it’s too heavy for one of the exercises, get a smaller one, and let it be light for the other movements.
At most, men should be using a 53-lb. kettlebell, and women a 35-lb.

“The benefits of weightlifting do not end with strength, speed, power and flexibility. The clean and jerk and the snatch both develop coordination, agility, accuracy and balance and to no small degree. Both of these lifts are as nuanced and challenging as any movement in all of sport. Moderate competency in the Olympic lifts confers added prowess to any sport.”
—Greg Glassman
