I'm really diggin' this 1000 swing workout....the key, for me, is to make it hard enough. The point is not to swing a light (for you) bell just to get the number, you have to take it to where the weight/work sets/rest periods will keep your heartrate on a certain target. Mine was consistent @ 160-170 after the 3 set rotation, lowering down to around 140 during the last rest period.
Warm up
20 misc. swings w/12kg, 30 sec work, 30 sec. rest x 5 sets = 5 min.
Work sets
40 2 hand swings w/16kg, 1 min work,
30 sec rest
40 2 hand swings w/20kg, 1 min work,
30 sec rest,
20 2 hand swings w/24kg, 30 sec work,
1 min. rest
100 swings / 4.5 min. per rotation, x 10 sets = 1000 swings, 45 min.
Total workout 50 min.
Nice work with the 24kg.
ReplyDeleteBill,
ReplyDeleteThe hardest set was the 20kg for 1 min. after only 30 sec rest period. I'm trying to keep my arms straighter!
