Another 600 kettlebell swings down today. I have to admit I’m tempted to do another 300 swings tonight to hit SEVEN THOUSAND!! This is definitely one of those things that once you get started you want more-more-more!
I was thinking about how I’m getting through this high volume by mixing it up! I line up the 65lb-er, the 40lb-er, and the quarter pounder and I randomly switch off between them. I vary the 40lb-er by two handed and alternate hand to hand.
I do not count this toward the total but I have been attempting to do one-handed swings with the 65lb kettlebell when I’m very warmed up and feel strong. A kettlebell swing incorporates squat and dead lift-style movements. When I was in top shape I could dead lift 175lbs so I should be able to work up to swing 65lbs with one hand. Just like a weights workout, I have clean protein after every kettlebell swings session.
The obvious starting point is simply to do squats with the 65lb kettlebell. Once you get started, you have to keep challenging yourself! I have to keep trying to think of new things to do!
