1,000 reps in 2009

Tonights KB workout is going to be the first 1,000 rep challenge of 2009. I don't know who will be here but hopefully we will have 4 or 5 of us.

I am going to throw out a challenge. Since we have officially been doing this workout for over a year I figure 2009 will be the time to make it even more challenging. I am going to ask everyone to get out their normal 1,000 rep workout KB and then get the next size up. The challenge is going to be to incorporate the heavier bell in as many of the lifts as possible. It may mean that some of us do not actually reach the goal of 1,000 reps but we shall see.

That means tonight I will be working with the 12 kg and the 16 kg. I know I can get the swings with the 16 kg but I am hoping to do my cleans and maybe some of snatches as well.

This past saturday we ended the class with 50 snatches per arm and I did them with the 16 Kg. I have not done any high rep work with the 16 since losing 21 lbs and was unsure how strong I would feel. I felt great, my forearms and wrists were tired but I think I will do well adding this heavier weight in tonight.

Let you know tomorrow....
