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

ReplyDeleteHello all, Still have a couple people having trouble getting set up.. But we'll give them till the end of the week...
ReplyDeleteToday..
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 days in and upto 500 swings.
ReplyDeleteTrying 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!)
Robocombot,
ReplyDeleteYou'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?

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..
ReplyDeleteGot 5 days in this week-1850 total for week 3--staying ahead of pace at the halfway point--feeling a little tired--time for some Papa Johns Pizza!!!
ReplyDeleteRoses are red-violets are blue-the kettle bells are tough but so are all of you!!Good luck-Wade
Yo Tim--1250 week 1 & 2210 week 2 & 1850 week 3
