I’m not very good at adding articles, but there’s a Strongfirst article called “Kettlebells and Deadlifting, A match made in heaven?”
In it, there’s a very simple swing progression based on EMOM that Andy uses to work up to 10x10 EMOM with 92kg!
I did lots of swings when I started S&S but haven’t done much in a long time, and am looking to add them back in slowly. Ive tried to jump back into what I was doing on S&S but it’s been too long, so I’m planning on just following this all year long as my only swings/conditioning. Super simple, and it starts very easily.
Just finished 6 mins x 5 reps 32kg 2H EMOM. Pretty easy, but that’s good, I have all year to work it up to hopefully 10x10 with my 36kg. If I can do that twice a week by Xmas, in addition to Strong, I’ll buy myself a 40, or 44, or 48 ? Haha.
Swings aren’t my favourite exercise, but they are just easy conditioning without too much thinking and not too intense technique wise, compared to say, the snatch.
I definitely noticed when I stopped regular swings my conditioning dropped.
