Just finished the 10k swing challenge

[xlion]

Lost about 10lbs, rear posterior chain and forearms bulked up a bit.

Super monotonous workouts. I just did 20x25 with a 70lb kettlebell. I suggest podcasts lol. Workouts went from a gassed 45min to 28.

~55 reps added (squat, renegade row with push up)

I feel great, I’m going to stay with kettlebell’n for awhile. As a reward for finishing the challenge I got some nice ones from kettlebell kings.

Super monotonous workouts. I just did 20x25

Which is why Dan recommends 10, 15, 25, 50 or 15, 35, 15, 35 (if 50 is too much).

 

[xlion]

@juancarlos Ya as silly as it sounds counting to 50 is hard lol.

 

[juancarlos]

@xlion It is hard. Just like doing 10 singles can be hard to count.

@juancarlos There are a couple of iterations of it, one of them is just called "Just do It" and you can split up reps as you want/can

I also found that 20x25 was a good numbers -

@dawn16 Sure. I am not saying OP did anything wrong. Just that if you choose a boring protocol, it will be more boring that one with some variety.

@xlion do you do any other workout like bench / etc or just the swings?

sounds like a nice month challenge, 10k swings is no joke

 

[xlion]

@chihwahli Ohh sorry, late response. Not really, I was generally super gassed by it so around the middle and end I added some days with other things. Most the time I would throw a burner set I'm for chest, back to quads

@xlion Cheers! You should think about the 10k in 10 days challenge next

 

[xlion]

@jim_68 Is that a real thing?

@xlion How many days did this take you?

 

[xlion]

@deejayh57 I did 5day/week for 4 weeks.

 

[deejayh57]

@xlion Insane, I'm about to hit 1K in 3.5 weeks. But I am brand new to working out basically.

 

[xlion]

@deejayh57 Well then you are doing very well.

 

[heidierheidi]

@xlion All two handed?

 

[xlion]

@heidierheidi Except the last day I got my new bells and did 1 handed.
