test your fortitude

[Nick Forrer]

Guys here is an exercise my coach showed me today with kettlebells:

basically take a kettlebell (say 16KG) and do 19 swings and then put it down and do 1 sprawl

then do 18 swings and 2 sprawls

then 17 swings and 3 sprawls etc

keep going until you do 1 swing and 19 sprawls

This is all non stop without any rest period

Its do-able but really really hard:eek

[malmethod]

what's a sprawl?

[bodhitree]

what's a sprawl?


Let's see if my english language skills are adequate to describe:

Launching your legs backwards to drive your hips downward. Seen in wresling as a reaction to a double leg takedown.


Good description?

[Nick Forrer]

two handed snatches I assume...

[Nick Forrer]

sorry my bad not snatches swings (terminology error there.) you can do two handed or alternate from side to side

Sounds interesting... and hard. I've been thinking about using kettlebells in my workout. Do you have your own or do you use them at a gym?

[Nick Forrer]

I have some at the gym but I am going to buy a pair of 16s or 20s

aaah swings, much easier than snatches. i'll give this a go some time soon :)
