Hit a couple Turkish get ups with the 40kg. That weight makes the exercise a lot more fun
You do any of those bent presses. Where you go into a windmill then stand up with it. Hard to mimic the movement, arm tries to press the bell from shoulder.Hit a couple Turkish get ups with the 40kg. That weight makes the exercise a lot more fun
How much rest between each set when you do 16?Been doing 3 workouts a week, and I just moved up to my 50-pounder for the 16 sets of 20 swings.
After 2 months off from Kettlebells I feared I would have to start from ground zero, but within a week I'm doing the full workouts, plus a few more sets, with my 50-pounder again.
I'm taking alot of breaks, unfortunately.
Took a break after 8 sets, 6 sets after the first break, and 5 sets after the second break. Grand total of 19 sets as a 'punishment' for taking breaks. I look forward to getting back to doing all 16 sets without a break again.
40 seconds.How much rest between each set when you do 16?
Yeah man. Thats good. I do 10 sets of 16 with 60lb and move to arm to arm with 50lb for another 10. That’s tough. Doing 16 sets of 20 is killer.40 seconds.
It goes quick.
I never was a massive fan of the massive swing programs. I used to do some long cycle work back in the day and even those rounds only go for 10 mins with respectable weights (similar to yours above).10 sets of 5 > DBL C&P (32kg) less than 20 min
10 x 5 > DBL Front Squat (32kg) less than 20m
10 x 10 > Single Snatch (32kg) less than 10 m
That seems more attractive than that goofy 20 min nonstop 10,000 swings stuff. Those are workout sets, not endless endurance to win new skin on your hands.
I find my technique is better with 32kg + than lower rep sets. You really have to lock in to do them.Hit a couple Turkish get ups with the 40kg. That weight makes the exercise a lot more fun
My legs and nervous system are shot today. So it seems like a worthy workout.10 sets of 5 > DBL C&P (32kg) less than 20 min

I have an elbow that doesn't lock so I'm always afraid of dumping the bell on my head on that sideI find my technique is better with 32kg + than lower rep sets. You really have to lock in to do them.
Anything past that is just a circus trick though. I am on the smaller side admittedly.
Those were the recommended sets out of the vid above. I just jumped to it and posted for anyone couldn't do the 8 min vid. That would def get the HR up and a sweat going.I never was a massive fan of the massive swing programs.

I always found I could hit those high rep swing sets just by altering my technique and just doing reps with only 60-70% of my usual swing hip drive. It just makes me think of half reps on pushups.Kettlebell swings and snatches should be explosive in my opinion.
It always just felt like a way to get out of running to me.
Did you give it a try. I did the squats and clean and press back to back and the next day I was fucked. Feeling my age.Those were the recommended sets out of the vid above. I just jumped to it and posted for anyone couldn't do the 8 min vid. That would def get the HR up and a sweat going.
Have not yet. Today was a big lift day but did DBL KB DL to C&P (32kg) x3 to Hanging Knee Tucks at a speed tempo. Only doing 3 reps on the bells, was taking too much 02 to go 10 reps.Did you give it a try. I did the squats and clean and press back to back and the next day I was fucked. Feeling my age.
I tried this yesterday with a minute rest. I’ll bring down the rest as I progress. Did 20 sets.40 seconds.
