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.

Good work, Tom, and logical set and rep progression. Did you do the 1 arm swings hard style or the more fluid, AKC way?
CharleyI did the first 30 minutes Akc and the last 30 Rkc. The handles are different on the bells and my grip lasts longer.
I guess alternating grips may be the key. I may try this out soon.
