KB swings challenge

[Timeah]

170...6minutes...does not compute.
humbling...

 

[chocchillimango]

are we counting bad form? damn, I'll keep going then. I usually stop when the glutes die

Guys, don't use your back too much when doing the swings, it's really not a good idea for your back.

but whoaaaaa, 170 with the 32kg!

 

[Grippy]

Got 170 in 6min on the 32kg. No vid. I'll get one next time. I don't have kettlebells tho, I use one of these

Terrible form tho. I got all to parallel but the glutes were gone by about 70, after that it was all back. Best back pump I've had in ages tho

Great effort mate.
I have been meaning to make a Bunnings spec t bar handle for ages now, are the handles just plain water pipe?

Swinging to shoulder height is counted And agree with you re the lower back.

Prison Mike: awesome stuff! Did you have a break at all?

 

[chocchillimango]

LOL I've been meaning to have another crack at the 24kg for 9mins but chocolate school is wiping me out so focussing on getting at least my main training done.

will be feb for swingfest for me

probably need it after inhaling all the choc fumes

 

[PRISON_MIKE]

Had a break at 150 for about 30 seconds.

My T handle is just standard galvanised pipe like the one in the photo.

Had a crack at this the other day, managed 280 with 16kg in 12min, Mrs used 12kg and scored 300. Main issue I had was the bell slipping. Will have a go with 24 and 32 over the coming weeks.

i use chalk when doing this or my hands sweat and the KB slips

 

[Timeah]

just hang on tighter.
haha.
my hands were bleeding last time. im going to do one of them again on saturday after squats.

 

[chocchillimango]

use an obscene amount of chalk and don't grip the kb.
It should feel weightless in your hands so no gripping.

Righto, finally got around to giving the 9min challenge a crack, scored 223 with the 24kg. Next up, 6min and 32kgs

 

[Timeah]

if my body feels at all up to it at the end of the week ill be doing the 24kg challenge. didnt video my last effort.
but i could best that with the heavier 32kg no doubt...so ill do it again with the camera for counting.

150...pfft. weak lol

 

[High Road]

I've got a clip of mine but can't work out how to post it???

 

[Timeah]

youtube mate. easy as.

 

[High Road]

Lets see if this works

9 minute kettlebell challenge 15/04/13

 

[jzpowahz]

good stuff mate! Mrs can OHS too! Great form.

I just realised you and Mideon are tied in the 16kg challenge. No pressure or anything

I think I'm going to have to have another guy at the 32kg post strongman comp on Sunday.

 

[High Road]

^ in that case I'll have to give it another crack

Yeah, Mrs goes alright, she has a good teacher


I'm hoping to get over 100 for the 32er, going to be a mission though

 

[jzpowahz]

haha, I say the same thing about my Mrs

It's funny how the degree of difficulty of these challenges changes with time I reckon. I think I would seriously struggle to reach the no. I did on the 16kg challenge despite doing a fair bit of high intensity cardio stuff lately but I'm 99% sure I am going to do much better on the 32kg.

 

[Timeah]

ha. i dont know about besting my 16 and 32 scores...but im going to blow the 24kg score away.

 

[jzpowahz]

yeah, I'm pretty sure you had an off day for that one.
