Round two went over very well with my team, like I said at the start of the challenge, it's to challenge yourself and not compete with anyone else. If you are new to bells or have been out of the gym for a bit then it only stands to reason you won't be using the heavy Red and Green bells and that's ok. The fact you are moving some bells is a win win.

Warm Up Joint Mobility

Swings 3 mins Warm up

W/U 5 Swings/5 Highpulls/5 Cleans/ 5 Presses/ 5 Squats/ 5 Snatches

Challenge set of compounds was 10 reps each Swing/Highpull/Clean/Press/Squat

 

 

Heavy Swings x 25 x 5

 

 

Double Swing Squats ( We were put to this challenge by my online Student Josiah Minner who did doubles because he didn't have a heavy Kettlebell, where there is a will, there is always a way.

 

 

Snatches  x 25 each arm ( I did not have snatches in my challenge because not everyone knows the snatch so I wanted to keep the challenge simpler, my team loves snatches)

 

 

The rest of our training was as follows

Drop/Swing Squats x 1 min

Double Swinging Rows Super Set with highpulls x 1 min

Heavy Clean & Jerks x 15 each arm

Now for my online Students all the way from Italy, here is Josiah Minner's set of double compounds, this young man is quite simply amazing.

16 Kg  Double Swings/ Swing Squats/ Cleans/Jerks/Highpulls x 10 reps each

 

 

And now introducing Tamara  Coulter and Josh Dotson all the way from Washington, they have been keeping up with the challenge and Tamara even a few days after surgery was doing the challenge, that is dedication.  Tamara modified the challenge to suit her physical limitations, again, where there is a will there is a way. I met Josh and Tamara at the Clint Darden seminar in August at the Elitefts S4 Compound and have been helping them online ever since with their Kettlebell techniques. Needless to say they are doing amazing and are going to get their Kettlebell certification in the new year.

If you can help just one person by living, learning, and passing on, then the world will be a better place.

How is your challenge going ? I would love updates and even video's if you would like to send them to me.

Until next time, keep on swinging and if you missed the original challenge here it is again, also for your own Kettlebells you can purchase them at elitefts.com.
