Kettlebell Protocols
Every 45 seconds on the 45. The extra 15 seconds over E30 gives more room for complex movements, cleans, short press complexes, or any movement that needs a reset between reps. This timer fires an audio cue every 45 seconds; configure 10 to 20 rounds before you start.
When should I use E45 instead of E30?
Use E45 when your movement has more setup — cleans and re-grips, press complexes, or heavy swings that need a back-swing reset. E30 is tight for anything but pure ballistics. E45 gives room to move well and still rest meaningfully before the next window.
How many reps per 45-second window?
5–8 reps for most movements. For complexes (e.g., clean + press), 3–5 reps per side. You should finish with at least 10–15 seconds of rest. If you're rushing to beat the beep, reduce reps or weight.
What weight should I use?
Similar to your E30 working weight or slightly heavier since the extra time allows for heavier loads. For single-arm work, most men use 24–32 kg. For complexes, load to your press maximum.
Does the timer work offline?
Yes. Iron Timer is a PWA. After the first load it works without internet and the screen stays on throughout your session.
Can I use E45 for double-bell work?
Yes. The 45-second window is particularly useful for double-KB movements like double cleans or double presses where you need time to set the grip and position properly.
