The Last Ronin Kettlebell Workout Plan: Real Life Ninja Turtle Training
In this segment of the Character Training series, we are going to go over the full 3-day comprehensive Kettlebell workout plan inspired by Michealangelo, The Last Ronin.
In this storyline, Mikey is known for getting insanely jacked because of his mutagen, as well as his incredible healing factor, strength and durability.
And even though we have the full 5-day Last Ronin workout, there was one thing I was thinking…
And that is Kettlebells are far superior when it comes to increasing your attributes in all areas of performance!
And that is exactly what we see in Mikey’s physique in the series. A jacked physique, insane amounts of skill as well as conditioning!
Since we already covered the full workout plan, we are going to go straight into the workout in this post.
