I got 200 swings with the 24kg kettlebell today and it wasn't easy but it was there. I did a 1-10-1 ladder and pooped out at 4 on the down side, if you can believe that. I stopped to breath for a few seconds before cranking it back up. My lower back was aching like crazy.

The results?

My snatch has gotten a whole lot stronger and the hardstyle idea of building the swing before the snatch obviously makes sense. You can't hope to snatch weight you aren't comfortable swinging.

Additionally I've found that swinging the 12kg bell for 80-100 reps makes a great warmup if I'm short of time. I never thought of using swings as a warmup before the challenge but I can say now that they work.

So what's up for December? Not sure yet, but kicking around the idea of a burpee challenge. I did 50 today so....
