Day 20. 500 swings. 24kg bell. Dips 2-3-5 rotation. Hung in there for the final day. Back was ok, little sore at the end. Forearms the same. The thing I kept thinking about was finishing strong. Recovered quickly after as well. Really tried to power through the last day. 22 mins. 5 min drop from day 5. Had to work around some people in front of the dip bar, but still got it all in.
10000 total. |

Good job! So what changes have you noticed? Grip strength, core strength, size changes, etc? |

Update: After having the weekend to rest, I went back into the gym today. Ran on the treadmill for the first time in 4 weeks. Had a little moment where I had to get my body back into the form, but it went pretty well. I think my cardiac capacity may have improved, but the drainage from sinuses and the weather are causing me some issues. The exercises involving my forearms were way stronger. My glutes and hams felt stronger running and my hand strength felt stronger doing pull-ups and cable rows. Overall, Id say the challenge was a great workout to switch things up and challenge your mental abilities to not give up. Until I get all the crap out of my lungs, I don't think I will feel the full result of the workout.

I just spotted this thread and I want to try this.
I'll follow the plan on t-nation so I can do it right the first time. I only have a 30 lb kb, is that an issue for the first time around? I'm in pretty good shape as far as lifting goes but I'm looking to push my conditioning and lose some fat. Should I get a bigger KB? Any issues with repeating the challenge every other month and increasing the weight? |

The only problem I see with doing them continuously is you'd get so bored you'd probably want to smack yourself in the head with a kb. |

30lbs might be on the light side, but if you adjust with a higher rep range (say sets of 50, 75 and 100?) and go faster it's still going to be a workout. I noticed when I was swinging a 70lb that I was putting on muscle, especially glutes and obliques. Super set them with whatever you need to work on specifically and you'll get a great workout. The only problem I see with doing them continuously is you'd get so bored you'd probably want to smack yourself in the head with a kb. |

I must not be doing kb swings right or something...I feel nothing with a 40# KB. I keep the swing up close, don't go overhead, etc, but it feels like wasting time.
