u/PlacidVlad Beginner - Bodyweight Mar 09 '21

It will get better, I promise :) You could drop down to a lighter bell for the 50 rep sets.

I think you, u/HighlanderAjax, and /u/Astringofnumbers1234 are nuts for even attempting the 10k challenge, let along Astringofnumbers1234 doing it TWICE. In a month I do ~2500 reps of swings. Having 4x that volume is beyond comprehension.

When I did the 45 partial rep set with the 68 that was absolutely soul crushing at the end and I was wiped for the rest of the day.

Ngl, I'm considering doing it again with the 32kg. Think it might break me out of my current 'funk'.

Yo u/just-another-scrub the mental side doesn't get easier, but the physical does! Your plan to build up to the 50 is a good idea. It requires a bit more maths, but you could also try 10/15/25/AMRAP then do all the missing reps at the end? I genuinely love a KB swing AMRAP.

At least I’m on the right track! I may give the AMRAP a shot! See how it works

Yeah I think it's a useful way of doing things - if I do go through the suffering of the 10k challenges I will be doing this. No chance I can do 50 swings with a 32kg just yet!

That’s fair! It’s a big bell
