Top of the Mountain....

is far far away. Started my "Swing Mountain" today. Decided to do it after reading this - http://www.dragondoor.com/articler/mode3/551/?apid=sandyrkc61

I did yesterday as my benchmark day. I wanted 400 swings in 30 min with the 32KG. Instead I got 300 swings in 28 min (thats 21,600 pounds moved in 28 min).

The problem wasn't my posterior chain and it wasn't my lungs either- it was my forearms, hands, and wrists. Wow!

225 reps in my grip was SHOT. I was 225 reps in at about the 16 min mark. I could have done so much more if my grip was up to par. I dropped from sets of 25 to sets of 10, 5, and sometimes 15. The last 25 I went through in only sets of 5. My hands were SMOKED. Got to get that grip strength up. Going to do it again 2 or 3 more times then drop down to the 24KG and see what happens... excited!
