After all the motivation from the "fat guys weigh in" thread, I need to try something different to get to the next level. Ive been stalled out from any weight loss for 4-5 monthes. Trying to get below 200 for the first time since the early 90s. The first 70 pounds was a piece of cake actually, and managed to keep it off for 2 years. Never been a "challenge" guy, but have decided to attempt the 10k kettlebell swing challenge. Yesterday was first day of 500 swings with pull ups. I might be underbelled with only a 16kg bell, but thats all I have. It really is 90% mental! On the 3rd and 4th rounds, your brain is trying everything it can not to pick up the bell. 5th is ok because you see light at the end. Im doing sets of 15 25 25 35. Grip was really suffering on last sets of 5th round. It took me 44 mins to complete and today my glutes are really sore. Surprisingly, so are my traps and calves and I dont think my calves have ever been sore. 5 hours from now, gonna do round 2 and than 18 more to go if I can make it!
