I am not a professional. You may skip this post because it is a rant.
Programs like this and the Spartan 300 or whatever are good. The author's who are promoting them know their stuff. Little did they know....
And here is the problem: The 10k Swing challenge article that is written by Dan John is with a 24 kg KB.
But through the power of the internet we now have guys (males, adult males) probably overweight, want to get in shape "fast". I put "fast" in quotation marks because in 1 month you will be in shape. 4 weeks. From zero to hero.
We have other guys too. Powerlifters eager to learn kettlebells, bodybuilders eager to shed bodyfat before beach season.
I'm not saying everyone but many guys fall into either one of these 3 categories and usually have these things in common:
1. They use a 12 or 16kg kettlebell
2. They havent't been training with KB's for years. Few weeks or maybe a couple months. tops.
3. They never report back their results after the 10k challenge.
People fail. People give up. People injure themselves. People do not get the desired results. People ask how to incorporate this with a barbell program. etc. etc.
This is what happens when a good coach puts a challenge like this on the internet. That is why I don't like it. I commend anyone who wants to go out and get into better shape but please don't attempt a marathon when you are struggling to run even 1 mile without stopping.
If you don't believe me then go on
Kettlebell • r/kettlebell search around a bit.
Last night, I read on this forum about a guy who was watching "Tabata Planks"...
Please, read my post about this challenge in the other thread.
However, please note that I am not a professional
