Transform Yourself, One Swing at a Time

Monday, June 21

Is it too light?

If you've been swinging with the same kettlebell for a while, it may be time to get a heavier one.  How do you know if you are ready to change bells?  Or, how do you know if you're ready to train the single hand swing on the bell you have?

One way to tell is by doing 100 swings for time.  If you're able to get 100 swings in two and a half minutes, it's reasonable to assume you've mastered the swing on that bell, or it's so light that you are able to flail like a crazed monkey with it.  In the first case, it's time for something heavier, in the second, you need to come out for a noon workout and get that FIXED.

Today's WOD:

  • 100 Kettlebell Swings for Time
  • 5 minutes of Turkish Get-ups (2:30 on each side)
  • 100 Kettlebell Swings for Time

Mobility drills (hamstring, and MCL stretches)
