Thanks for your comment. I’m not sure what progress it is intended to measure. If I’m reading it right, it’s doing one KB swing, then 2, etc.? Doing such low reps, especially at a mid weight, hardly seems worth the trouble. Burpees can be exhausting by themselves, of course, but can’t say I’m a big fan as they can be unintentionally modified with fatigue (the squat becomes a bend, the jump a hop, etc.).

It does sound like it could be a good finisher (although I’d rather the swings start at 11 instead of 1). Since you’re obviously experienced (“maxed out elevator” is not newbie lingo), then if it works for you, that’s great!

We’ve been having fun with on-the-minute swings. Start at 10 every minute for 10 minutes. If that’s too easy, increment next time. Nice way to “grease the groove” and get volume. But it’s not a 30-day challenge; just part of the program.

Maxed out elevator of kettle swings (mid weight) and burpees. So increasing reps 1,1 then 2,2… of each exercise without any rest until your muscles are so fill of lactic acid you fall over.

I’ve gotten up to 8,8
The “challenge” article I was reading said to get to something like 20,20 in a month by just doing only this 3 times a week (your criticism above holds) but I’ve found doing this after a strength training session once a week is both a really good “finisher” and a great measure of progress
