I've been doing Simple and Sinister for about five weeks now. I started with 40 pounds for the swings and moved up to 53 pounds as soon as the 53-pounder arrived in the mail.
At 53 pounds, the swings seem somewhat casual. I usually finish them in seven minutes, easily passing the talk test. I've started to experiment with doing sets of 20 instead of 10.
Should I get a heavier kettlebell, rest less, do sets of 20 or more? Or is it okay to be only slightly challenged in the swings?
For the get-ups, I started at 20, worked my way up to 25, and am experimenting with 30. That seems like a pretty good challenge. I don't need iron crashing through my skull.
