I just finished a brutal, but rewarding kettlebell work out consisting of one handed hard-style swings and push presses with the 24kg. I kept reps at 10 per set with the swings and 5 per set with the push presses with about 20 seconds rest between sets totaling 300 reps for each. All in all I completed this in about 30-45 minutes. I'm aware that high rep work goes against the core principles of SF however there's something about it that I tend to favor over heavy low rep grinds. I'm also aware that I'm the best judge of what I'm capable of recovering from day to day but I am interested to find out if anyone else here has experimented with not only high rep kettlebell swings but also high rep kettlebell push presses (or something similar like jerks, etc.) Will the daily push presses wear my joints down/cause overuse injuries? I'm shipping to basic training in a month and would like to stay in good shape.
