Kettlebell moves integrate the use of a momentum, which requires a greater engagement of both your large and

-- biceps, triceps, delts, and abs get quite a bit of work from their bigger counterparts [think chin ups, bench press variations, deadlifts, squats, shoulder pressing etc.], so cut the volume of
these smaller muscle groups by half of what is recommended [4 - 6 sets / 2 = 2 - 3 sets]
One suggestion I will make here is for the smaller muscle groups — biceps, triceps, delts, and abs get quite a bit of work from their bigger counterparts [think chin ups, bench press variations, deadlifts, squats, shoulder pressing etc.], so cut the volume of
these smaller muscle groups by half of what is recommended [4 - 6 sets / 2 = 2 - 3 sets]
