10000 Swing Challenge

Ok now we've been working and working. We see the results; shape, strength, cardio, and over all well being. So whats missing?


COMPETITION. Its just human nature



While surfing I came across Kerry Kriener-Althen and her Innergrr.blog. Kerry came up with the 10000 Swing Challenge. This challenge is a nice motivator and gives you a light at the end of the tunnel. A good place to reward yourself. Best part is you can swing anytime, am, pm, three times a day or three times a week. You just get it done when you can.


This is how we'll run our 10000 Swing Challenge.

Starting March 2, 2009 ending April 6, 2009 ( that works out to 238.1 swings per day )

Everyone who signs in to the Challenge will post there numbers weekly. I'll then post everyone together so you can see where you stand.

Rules.. just one. SAFETY FIRST, don't kill yourself just to get numbers. Protect your hands, don't forget to stretch, no lazy knees, and pop and lock like you have a purpose.

1 swing= 1 swing

two hand swings=1 swing

2 cleans= 1 swing

1 snatch=2 swings

double KB swings= 2 swings

double KB cleans= 1 swing

double KB snatch= 4 swings

Questions let me know.

Good luck.

Get it done Hard Style

  2. Hello all, Still have a couple people having trouble getting set up.. But we'll give them till the end of the week...
    Today..
    100 swings w/24kg, 30sec wk/30sec rest (5min)
    200 snatch w/24kg Snatch ladder up and down 1-10
    (using Dave Whitley's speed switch((see Irontamer)) still needs work, but thanks Dave..
    So 500 out the gate.
    You do not need to write your workouts in just the total swings, but if you want to share please do.

  3. 3 days in and upto 500 swings.

    Trying to hit 250 everyday, but mixing up the exercise;

    Day 1 = 125 snatches
    Day 2 = 250 swings
    Day 3 = 500 cleans
    Rinse and repeat.

    (500 cleans does seem alot harder than the others!)

  4. Robocombot,
    You've got 750 swings not 500..D1 250, D2 250 and D3 250.. Why so many cleans? How are your elbows and your shoulders feeling?

  14. Found Dr. Chen's Trifecta to be a great way to get several moves and swing numbers in. Snatch, Clean, Swing (L+R). Three rounds mix the reps any way you want..
