The two versions of this workout are a lot of fun, but should only be attempted if you're VERY comfortable with the 1 arm swing. They also should be performed outside or in a safe area, especially if you're trying 1 arm swings with a heavier kettlebell than usual.

Kettlebell Workout As Inspired by the Super Human Training Workshop
Taken from my workshop notes, and the really cool programming ideas in I Will Be Iron, this workout is surprisingly simple but as the participants in yesterday's kettlebell small group will tell you, VERY intense.
