In this episode of Kettlebell Corner, Jeremiah Waylon and Roger Parks take a deep dive into the popular 100 Swing Challenge—exploring its appeal, effectiveness, and the overlooked variables that can make or break your results.

They break down why technique, intent, load selection, and personal adaptation matter far more than just hitting a rep count. Whether you’re chasing general conditioning, muscle endurance, or simply trying to stay consistent, how you approach each session—and what your goals are—matters more than most online programs let on.

This conversation also covers how to structure a smart training week around kettlebell challenges, the differences between high-rep routines and structured protocols like Simple & Sinister, and the psychological impact of daily fitness goals.

Perfect for beginners testing the waters or seasoned lifters refining their programming, this episode will help you approach kettlebell challenges with clarity, purpose, and longevity in mind.
