What Is The Required Number Of Reps To Go Up A Level In TACFIT 26 Progressions For Kettlebell And Clubbell?

In TACFIT 26, some kettlebell amd clubbell exercises go up the progressions in weight, ie same movement but he weight gets heavier as the levels go up.

Kettlebell:
Level 1 - 8kg
Level 2 - 16kg
Level 3 - 24kg
Level 4 - 32kg

Clubbell:
Level 1 - 15lb
Level 2 - 25lb
Level 3 - 35lb
Level 4 - 45lb

Again, using the formula:

r = (0.0333WR + W - w) / 0.0333w
Using R = 5, ie the next level up is a 5RM weight.

Kettlebell:
8kg to 16kg: 40
16kg to 24kg: 23
24kg to 32kg: 17

Clubbell:
15lb to 25lb: 29
25lb to 35lb: 19
35lb to 45lb: 15

Comment: For lower body exercises, it is not so hard go progress up the weights as most people's lower body strength is already strong enough to go up a few progress up a couple of levels without specific practice. However, in upper body strength, especially going up to Levels 3 and 4, you may need to add specific strength practice if you want to go up the weights if you can't already do these number of reps in a particular exercise (eg. Clubbell 2H Gama Cast, Clubbell 2H Swipe, Kettlebell 1H Push Press).
