Ten Thousand Swings to Fat Loss
by Craig Weller and James Heathers -

What happens when you perform a thousand kettlebell swings a day for ten days? Will you even survive?

flightposite: Great explanation Mike I do believe that is the problem and this is the first time I've heard an explanation that makes sense to me. Thanks again I will check out Wills blog.

TheJonty: No mention of the Klokov complex with 205kg?

rhougan4: i'm wondering why there aren't any bent over rows in the indigo hypertrophy program phase 1. please some one tell me why so i can convince myself it will be ok for a month without them

Lee Boyce: @LarryH: It sounds like a strained or fascially torn rhomboid muscle, but I could be way off. Best first step may be to get an ultrasound to see if there's any superficial muscle damage. I don't think that pressing overhead would solve the problem to "fix" this. It may alleviate the stress since surrounding muscles may incorporate themselves, but the heavier you go, the more that weak link will make itself manifest.

Sultan-of-Swing: Jim, are you talking about rotating the styles of 5/3/1 described in the 2nd edition of your book, so you can go longer without a deload?

LarryH: I'll try and be more specific, it's even hard for me to pinpoint. The best I can describe is between the scap and the spine about 3 inches above the bottom tip of the scapula. If I look at a picture of the muscles back there it's sort of at the mid/top of the rhomboid.
