100 No Bullshit Hardstyle Kettlebell Swings**

**Hardstyle/Russian Kettlebell Challenge/StrongFirst swings include an “overspeed eccentric” hike of the bell which loads the posterior chain as the muscles lengthen. If after 50 reps you don’t feel like your glutes and hamstrings are cramping so badly you can barely stand up straight, you’re doing it wrong. Incidentally, unless otherwise specified, ALL swings in our program, whether in a warmup or a workout, are meant to be performed this way. It’s your workout. Half ass it if you want half ass results.
