Have a 64kg to lend if you want it :p

I've given up on this idea short term mainly because of my stupid hand. Ridiculous calluses /holes at the moment and I really can't see 10,000 KB swings helping the situation.
 
I reckon just doing 100-200 a day to start...maybe it should be thrown in the monthly challenge thread... :p

hahah sure i'll drive up and get it on saturday :p

Hole in the floor here i come heh
 
I think that's a good idea Tim.

I do swing the 64kg KB but 10 times max and my heart is pumping! That's over 75% of my BW so it's damn hard to stop the momentum!
 
Ditto me...I swing the 32kg which is 70% of my BW and I get to 20 but am zonked at that point.

I think it's meant to be the 16kg for gals and 20kg or 24kg for guys for this challenge though, yes? Still, 1000 per day, crazy?
 
Would be a good PB as well perhaps? How many KB swings can you do per session or per day? Think i need to get a 24 kilo KB to start practicing
 
Thread resurrection!

ISO training in progress at the moment. I have a 24kg and a 32kg KB only.

This is my log so far. 2 weeks in. 122tonnes down.

I started at 78kg, 80cm waist, 99.5cm hips and 101cm chest. (definitely not as lean as last time I was posting here!)

See how it goes for the rest of the month.

I started with swinging the 32kg for 15 reps a set. I did 100 in one set today.

Not too bad. Tight hammies and glutes, lower back is good, upper back is tight (like always).

Just been trying to use my massage gun whenever I can too.

Touch wood, all good :)
 
Well I finished my 10,000 swing challenge for the month yesterday. All completed in 28 days.
Results: No noticeable body composition changes which is not surprising considering I’m on the #ISOALCO diet.

Technique: unsurprisingly, considerably better and more efficient. I’m no pro KB guy but I used to be a qualified instructor so I’d say I’m half decent. At the beginning, I was wasting energy through inefficiencies.

Fitness: Greatly increased. I have done a similar workout which went like this with the 24kg KB:
10 swings
10 pushups
15 swings
10 pushups
25 swings
10 pushups
50 swings
10 pushups

Repeat x 5 for a total of 500 swings and 200 pushups.
First attempt took me 29mins45secs and required a good minute or so rest in between each “set”
The last attempt I did the same thing in 19mins 43 seconds and didn’t require any rest.

In addition to this, the last workout was 885 swings, 360 crunches in 48mins. No rest except for moving from the KB to crunches a few meters away. Definitely couldn’t have done that at the start of the month!

I also re-tested some old KB challenges during the month.
24kg for 9mins: 2011 PB 270 Current 350
32kg for 6mins: 2011 PB 143 reps. Current 210

Feel: Hands are pretty damn tender. Glutes and hammies are “toight” but ok. I have had a previous thoracic disc injury years ago which I was a little concerned about initially but if anything, it feels better than normal. Lower back feels great, no issues whatsoever.

Overall: if I had a chinup bar, I’d be happy to just swing some KB’s, do some chinups, pushups and handstands and other basic human movements to have a pretty complete full body workout.

This is correct. Basically kind of dodgy if and then binge drinking and dealing with an infant while working from home. Far from optimal. Would not recommend. But it is pretty fun:)

Actually have Loved being at home the past 5 or 6 weeks (not actually sure at how many...) with the wife and little girl.

Hasn't been a chore at all.
