35 Pounds is Brutal! Forearm Cramps!

How's everyone doing with this workout? It's 6:45 in the morning, and I am about to kill it before having to deal with the d-bags at work!

I am still doing this workout. If you can't finish, make your weight lighter, and then gradually increase it. I started with 10 pounds, and now i am doing 35, all 500. It takes a little stamina, but the 500 swings are worth it. It is 6:05 AM, and I am about to do it again.... find some motivation, use a mirror, think about…

So I decided to stick with 25 lbs one more time, but I did it in a fasted state in the morning after a night of eating pizza. I awoke, got caffeinated, and Killed it! Dropped my time down to 35 Minutes 10 seconds. Next workout will definitely be with 35 pounds. This workout was a little different than the other. I didn't…

I don't really get bored. I watch myself, in the mirror to help keep form, and listen to talk radio. I know, weird.

Another fine day of Swings!!!!! I really busted it trying to kill my last workout's time, and it felt like I shaved off about 5 minutes. But after I stopped the clock, it was 39.5 - only 30 seconds faster. I felt like a BEAST on my last set and cranked out 50 in under 1 minute. I am starting to look forward to this…

Basically what jimmmer said. If you have been working with Kettlebells for a couple of weeks, then you will probably be fine. I would say if you think you have your form down correctly, Then do the workout once without worrying about the conditioning part, and focus on form the whole session. If you have to rest longer…

Have you started yet?

I just completed my third day of this. I decided to change it up and do the Spartacus workout yesterday morning, but I added 2.5 time the amount of weight as usual. It killed me on the cardio, was Awesome! Anyway, today was far EASIER than the previous days. My body is getting used to doing proper swings with 25 pounds. I…

mam7341, Great Job! I am wondering after the 10,000 is over, I should try applying this to other types of multi-joint movements.

Okay guys, I just finished my second kettlebell workout. I decided to use the 25 pounds for the entire workout and it was just short of BRUTAL! Because I switched to the 25 lbs, it took me 45 minutes. I used the same routine as last time, but I did not do any exercise in between sets. Rather than performing low rep…

Okay, so I am far too sore to do the workout today, so I am just checking in, and will do the second one tomorrow.

Warmup was about 5 minutes, and the workout was about 30 minutes. However, your workout time will vary depending on how long you need in between sets to catch your breath. A few sets I only rested about 10 seconds. I would say 45 minutes is a pretty good time for the first time you do it. I am going to do it again today,…

Okay, so I completed the first workout today and this is a very intriguing workout, to say the least. Here is how it went down and what I learned. I warmed up sufficiently with jumping jacks, pushups, jump squats, burpees, and a few sit-ups. I did some light shoulder work to ensure I don't pull anything. Here is the exact…

jimmmer, I read as much as I could before I get sick of the banter. However, I did ready the top of page 2 from your suggestions. Anyone who is serious about doing this workout correct needs to read it. Here is it, just in case you don't want to go to the site.…

When it comes to foods like this, sour or tart flavors do wonders. Think Vinegar, pickle juice, lemons, limes, etc.

I am interested...

I am on day 3 and have lost 3 pounds. I am 27, starting weight 248. I am still in the cleanse phase and it is not bad, but you should really follow the eating recommendations or you will pay for it later. I am working out in the morning after taking spark. It gets me the start I need after about 15 minutes. I will keep you…
