Few will tell how many is a good goal to shoot for (I'm trying for 200 in 12 minutes, but make 140 - 160). Few seem to convey how many days you should do a kb workout (I do nothing but swings and get ups on one day, and then planks, dead lifts, goblet squats, snatches, and clean and presses with a lighter bell the next day, and then a day of rest. It's about 30 minutes each day). I think people have it ingrained that unless they've lifted to failure, they haven't worked out enough. I'm trying to get over that myself, and it's difficult to change your mindset. It seems that people go for high reps when doing a kettlebell work out.
