Introducing the Lift & Swing plan. Easy Way to Increase Conditioning while Losing Fat Fast.

The Lift & Swing Plan!

This plan combines my love for traditional, Gironda-esque body building with my love for kettlebell conditioning. I think it might be a perfect marriage, but time will tell. 

In this plan, I'll superset each of my working sets for each exercise with 10 kettlebell swings.

It's simple.

Here's how I'm going to incorporate it into my "30 Minute Physique Summer Shredding" program.

(My exact plan shown below):

In order to maximize time efficiency and keep my sessions around 30 minutes, I'll do 2 sets per exercise.

I aim to train 5-6 days per week.

So this would result in about 4 sets per week per exercise, plus an additional 480 swings per week.

Let's see what happens after doing this for a couple months.

Feel free to join in on the fun.

You could also do this with just 3 exercises per session along with swings, but doing 3 sets per exercise.

That plan, which we'll call "Lift & Swing 3" (3 for the 3 sets per exercise and 3 exercises per session + swings after each set) would look like this:
