As I posted yesterday, the 200 Kettlebell Swing Challenge has begun. The gist of it is you do 200 kettlebell swings every single day for the month of November. If you miss a day you make it up the next day with 400 swings.

Unfortunately this challenge is co-inciding with my Squat Every Day Until Something Horrible Happens Challenge. This now means that every single day I am swinging and squatting. Talk about awesome!

Are you doing either of these challenges? Are you doing any challenges in your training?

If not, why not? The biggest reason most people don't make progress in their training is because they are not challenging themselves with something over the top.

But you know what? The strongest people are the ones that train the hardest and most consistently. Not the ones who are oh so careful about not overtraining.

Don't believe me? Check out what John Broz and his lifters are doing.

Here is the workout, including both challenges:

• Swings
• 200 reps in sets of 20
• Front Squat
• 95 x 5, 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 225 x 5, 275 x 3, 315 x 1, 365 x 1, 405 x miss
• Fat Bar/Axle Clean and Press
• 95 x 2, 135 x 2, 185 x 2, 215 x 2, 235 x 2, 255 x miss, miss, miss, miss (I was getting pretty pissed off here), 235 x 1, 215 x 3 x 5

Here is a video of Pat Mendes, a daily squatter, doing his thing.
