Tried 1000 swings today within 60 minutes. I reduced the number of reps per set and instead of just 2 hand swings, I included 1 hand swings as well.
Here was the plan:
10 Left Hand
10 Right Hand
10 2 Hand
30 Reps = 1 set
Every 2 minutes: 30 sets x 30 =900 Total Swings

When I got to the 28 minute I realized I could get to the 1000 Mark
Added 2 sets plus a 40 swing sprint at the end
Total Swings: 1000
24 Kg x 1000 = 53,000 Lbs.
Time: 59 Minutes 34 seconds

My body was tired. I felt that this was more of a marathon with a sprint at the end. The sprint was a killer. Imagine get so close to 1000 swings and then failing, it was not an option.

I will do variations of this 1000 swing workout…All 2 Hand, All 1 Hand, 50 rep sets and 100 rep sets etc.
