    all for 10 reps and 20 mins amrap

    clean and press
    squat clean
    turkish get up
    goblet squat
    swings

    not a fan of complex rep schemes or anything like that i just set a time or round goal and just go for it

    5 snatches per arm
    5 swings per arm
    10 full burpees

    x 5 sets

    cut the rest times as much as your able to.

    If it is too easy what I have done is
    up it to 10 sets or
    change the numbers to
    10 snatches, 10 swings and 20 burpees

    Try it out

    Best program for what? What are your goals? What other training do you do?

    if you do them right, swings and getups can already give you a good workout... but then again, it would also do you good if you define your goals so we can point you in the right direction

    Leave the one kettlebell sitting in the corner and go do something better.

    Turkish getups are a time under tension excercise, you shouldn't do them under fatigue.

    You need a progression, and since you can't change weight that means volume or density.

    A program like Enter the Kettlebell or one of the Girevoy sport templates would be best. You want a small number of movements that hit a large number of muscles and joints (the long cycle clean and jerk is particularly good in that regard)
