Hi have just read up on this last night on t-nation, thought i would give it a solid month as i have been doing lots of crossfit style workouts over the past 2 months. I varied the rests a little in order to incorporate a heavier weight (22.5kg/49lbs), i am using a single powerblock adjustable dumbbell, holding onto the bottom two thick bars for more grip strength. I wanted to give push/pull strength exercises between my swings a go, here is how my first day went this morning:

Warmup: Light boxing (on a body opponent bag) - 3 mins
2 trigger dynamic stretching for 2 mins (glutes, hams, quads, hip flexors, shoulders)

Prehab: TRX bridge/reverse leg curl for hip mobility x 2
TRX Hip and shoulder stretch (Both sides) x 2

Workout: 10 Swings (22.5kg/49lbs)
3 Pressups (controlled)
15 Swings
4 Pressups
25 Swings
5 Pressups
- 30 second rest
50 Swings
3 mins rest ( yes i know it is a long rest but it meant i was fully ready to blast the next set)

Repeat 4 times (5 Total)

Cooldown: Foam roll 3-4 mins (calves, hams, glutes, IT band, quads, middle/upper back)

I should note that i never changed the weight. Also after the first 2 sets (of 100 swings each) i started dropping the rest time of 3 mins to 2.5 and 2 as it didnt feel like i needed it after getting properly warmed up during the first couple sets.

Will keep posting my results

    I tried them once. Just didn't seem prudent to whiz big weights around in the air....and the back thing, as well.

    This thread got chopped by the mods or MFP and somehow I ended at the top of it.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure a kettlebell workout by me would result in significant property damage.
