BE STRONG, LONG...The 100 Rep Challenge





So I've really been dreading working out. Maybe because I've been attempting to follow a preset routine. Well apparently, I don't like that. I started to try to find excuses that I couldn't work out. I was really bored with my training. I needed a challenge: The 100 Rep Challenge, from Dan John.
I chose to do a nice complex from Pavel that involved my favorite toys: my two 24kg Kettlebells.

Double Snatch, lower the bells to chest, Military Press back up, lower again, Front Squat. That was one rep. Now do it 100 times:)
I started the challenge at 4:28 in the afternoon and finished it at 6:14. 106 minutes of intense exercise. about one rep per minute, average. 1-20 were done in clusters of four or five reps. From then on, I did them in twos and threes. Every rep after 70 felt like an all out max attempt. I will hurt, and my training will probably suffer for awhile. I love it;)
