Nikki Shlosser, RKC candidate, is shown demonstrating Dr. Cheng's kettlebell 4-Play combination. Each rep of the 4-Play consists of 4 techniques done in clean succession - swing, clean, high-pull, and snatch. The techniques are organized such that each technique is followed by a technique that requires greater explosivity to accomplish.
For a serious workout, do a set of 10 reps per side... Yes, that's 40 techniques per side, in rapid succession! Rest by doing 30 seconds of shadow boxing, and then repeat.

@ionFreeman It's a form, as in martial arts. It's all exercise anyway. I like simpler moves but there may be validity in complex forms and hand to hand combat preparation. The subconcious mind should manifest combat combinations easily after forms training.

What's the purpose of this chain? It seems pretty specific, so what is it for?

How about a clean and press instead of just a clean?

the clean seems to not fit in this sequence, it's sort of rhythm breaking

I tried this routine doing 3 X 5. Thats 3 set of 5 reps. 1 rep equal to the 4 movements of the 4-play and did 5 right side and 5 left side for one set. 30 to 60 sec rest between sets. Hear rate is a going to say the least. You guys and gals rock!

Try doing this sequence for 20 cycles per hand for a wicked workout! It really forces your brain-body coordination to go to a new level when you're already oxygen depleted. Now a new favorite workout among the gireviks at the Inosanto Academy.
