I am curious, what's the backgound for the nonstop swing sets every two weeks (after achieving simple for the swings)?
I agree with Anna. It might seem torturous on paper, but when you get going it does feel like nice break.- It's a nice mental break from 10 x 10 every day
After two hand non-stop swings (non-stops), breathing for my regular sets of 10x10 is easier. Stress testing your system with the non-stops makes breathing during 10x10 seem like no big deal. The non-stops must raise the upper limit of your lung or general cardiovascular system somehow. I'm not a Doctor and don't play one on the internet, but that's my guess.
I'm pretty sure I'm really only giving about 15% max effort during these swings sessions, so I think I'm swinging at the right "volume" for me. Maybe I could go a touch lighter but my goal is to still meet the Hardstyle swing standard.The "volume knob" is an important concept here. By definition, you can't use your "10 rep max" technique and weight to get 50+ reps.
But if you use a lighter weight, where you don't need your highest tension to finish the swing, then you stay at that pace.
For example, for someone who can do a one arm pushup, the tension involved in doing a one minute regular pushup test will be nothing like what they use for oap.

I finally had a chance to record my as many swings as you can practice today. 4 videos... 50 swings, 20 swings, 20 swings, 10 swingsVideo, please.

As far as I understood the continous swings in S&S (which I actually didn't do first time on the program, and only discovered a few weeks ago), one can do them as one like, 1h, 2h or h2h.
But the "test" part is 100 2h swings with whatever bell that is your current working bell, correct (but not before your working bell is the 32kg for men)?
Wether or not 100 2h swings with your current working bell is part of S&S, I have introduced it into my own criteria for when I can move up in weight. I have 2 criteria:
1) Be able to do the 5 min 100 1h swings, 1 min break, 10 min. 5x1 TGU STRONGLY allmost any day of your choosing.
2) 100 nonstop 2h swings with your current working bell.
