Quite some swings

I only had a 16kg at hand and with my hands a bit beaten from yesterday I didn't really feel like doing anything else than swings. Very simple template, 20 sets of 50 on 45sec rest periods. No, I don't find such sessions boring :)

50 swings @16kg
(10 two-hand/10L/10 two-hand/10R/10 two-hand)
75sec on, 45sec off
20 rounds, 40min, 1000 swings

1,000 swings is a lot of swings. What's next? 2,000?

Boring is irrelevant if you're going for reps or time.

Aaron,

I think swings are one of the best tools to build general work capacity, this is why I make sure to have high rep swing sessions regularly.

As for boring, I keep being told people "couldn't" do this because it's so boring... (Which for me means they don't want to and they need an excuse, however lame it may be.)
As Gray put it at the CK-FMS, training is not there just to entertain you, but to have you do what's necessary. Thus, boring is irrelevant indeed.
