World-Record Attempt: 950 Kettlebell Swings in 60 Minutes

[@furkatbobojon4255]

These are American/CrossFit KB swings, it let’s you take a mini break while holding over your head where it stops having resistance if you keep your arms straight. It’s different than standard KB swings. I need to find world record for standard KB swings.

Camera man can back up a bit...

[@evrose]

The official camera that was tracking the reps was placed to get his entire body in from the side. I would know, I'm the guy working that camera (red shirt)

[@chagdevildog]

This is awesome i met him in Iraq a few years back. And yup everytime you entered his office you had to do KB swings

[@codyzeik1937]

James Chargois I laughed out loud reading this

Every time I entered his office I had to give him a blosser.

[@fatover4050]

nothing to feel embarrassed about, what a great effort, its better to try and fail than to never try at all...i look forward to watching your next try...

[@robertstover4665]

I do hundreds of standard kB swings in my workouts but at 58 and with work damaged wrists/hands I use weight lifting wrist supports to finish…… this guy rocks!,,,,

[@tsogbayardulamsuren7454]

Hello Sergeant Major. This is T-Bone from Mongolian Armed Forces were in "Five Hills" Training Center.

[@RahulWadke]

Salute to the USMC Sgt Maj Steven Burkett from Mumbai.

[@larrypoole3906]

Not a thing to be down about. Super effort. You have a great supporting group. You will get it. If you haven't by now.

[@kirbyaugustine761]

This was awesome. I love kettlebells and train primarily with them so this attempt was so inspiring. Salute to you for even attempting this.

[@prlesify]

Sgt. Maj. Burkett - thank you for your service and for the inspiration. You got this!

[@texasjmd]

Don't feel bad Sgt Maj Burkett. You did awesome. Great inspiration. Keep it up.

[@ramitouma279]

41! I love seeing my fellow 40+ athletes improving themselves at this stage of their life.

[@JimOwnby]

No cause for embarrassment, Top! Your drive is absolutely impressive. You'll get it on the next run.

[@RuggedChild914]

I’m picking up the kettle bell today. 950 in 60 mins is tough. But I don’t know anything I’m Crossfit that isn’t tough. We all know that dark place you visit when the WOD is kicking your ass. Sometimes you beat it but sometimes it beats you hard. Salute to all the hero’s

[@clairebratcher6374]

Still freaking amazing! I have no doubt you will smash the record

[@Satory28]

Next time, man, you'll smash this! Awesome!

[@XZAWLTED]

You are the epitome of everything it means to be Awesome! Stay dedicated my brother.

[@5ean5ean22]

Eventhough I quit doing American Style KB swings this is still great.

[@daquandrejohnson9965]

He is tough as hell!

[@thomasjohnson6808]

Being the best "you" ever is better than being the best in the world!

[@jacobflores4712]

Oorah SgtMaj! Glad to see more Marines on the crossfit scene.

[@sorjames-itsachoice]

Amazing effort and a great man & soldier ✊🏾

[@antoniomaceo4706]

OOHMFNGRAH SGT MAJOR! You'll get it next time. We are all cheering for you!!!

[@DarrenSilvestre]

Go Steven! You're a beast man! I'm sure you'll smash the record! 💪

[@idraw4me181]

Next time you will smash it I am sure. But this effort in and of itself was amazing!

[@lethalsausage5961]

Awesome work SgtMaj

[@nandini6136]

Incredible effort, try n try until you succeed.

[@venturejay]

Wait, I thought this was 950 consecutive swings. He's like taking breaks and resting. Still, a good accomplishment. "I don't want to get into my rep scheme it's proprietary information."

[@cobeetrice]

The crossfit kettlebell swing is the worst. Is the record for this style of KB swing? or just a regular KB swing?

[@camerongray7767]

The biggest issue would be grip for me anyway

[@mikeywynnns]

you got this man

[@sampru8181]

This is CrossFit overhead swing not KB swings at first place.

[@tallflguy]

Many different styles and swings

[@gokuryu]

A game plan on protecting the hands is paramount.

[@ciandunphy7888]

Was he not allowed to use gymnastics grips?? Those would help a lotttt

[@Sevv9220]

Good shit Hooah

[@MichL_71]

Great job man!!

[@hspattp8592]

Outstanding.

[@jbt159]

It’s been 2 years.. did he break the record?

[@timaanerud]

Doesn’t strike me as humble as many of the folks in our community. Good luck nonetheless.

[@ryanorourke1331]

I think the record would be 1188 swings in an hour www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/111725-heaviest-weight-lifted-in-one-hour-kettlebell-swing

[@Phantaasm]

Saw the name, thought rip city. Good shit, man. Awesome effort.

[@musllm]

Another world record nearly broken by these wonderful crossfitters!

[@andreasjakobsen1976]

[@daveybrown9764]

Awesome effort, no doubt he will crush it next time.

[@Rckrrr]

"American Swings", what a clickbait

[@SzabolcsDenes]

3:34 under the bench that the dude is sitting on. This is important. If you know, you know.

[@JeffR-fk2mk]

Yeah, that's awesome. What kind of psychopath feels the need to openly display their kill count? A true patriot and hero?

[@camilleaigail902]

Sgt. Major Burkett...you sir are an inspiration! I'm so impressed!!! I know you are disappointed that you didn't do what you wanted to do that day, so you are more focused on what you didn't do. I hope you realize, however, folks like me watching, are BLOWN AWAY at what you DID do!! Thank you for your example of hard work, commitment, and especially for not giving up at the end when everything in you wanted to! You are strong and inspiring! Thank you for serving our country with that same spirit as well!

[@alhuda8652]

how much did he achieve now, on that day? did not get it

[@matteocoarezza3816]

I was so confused because i read 60 seconds instead of 60 minutes ahah

[@michaelhewitt23]

Goddam those are the ugliest swings on God's Green Earth

[@KettleBellWod]

Пускай глянет моё обучающее видео, видно же что ошибки в технике у чувака

[@andresmaldonado7356]

Who can be ashamed of murdering that many KB swings? Nobody. Boss status.

[@camerongray7767]

I honestly think if I did this I could only get like 300 MAX

[@CalebTheSeeker]

Here's the secret: 15 swings a minute for an hour.

[@keisi1574]

Wrong! It's one kettlebell swing every 4 seconds for 60 minutes!

[@martincottreau4530]

A great attempt! You know there are 1 and 2 hour marathons of 2 kbell clean and jerk @24kg. If you think this is impressive... which it is. My advice to this guy is to snatch 24kg for long sets to make his hands tougher and lean back more during the drop and extend his legs in his backswing a bit more. Sprinkle that in and he wont tear or burn out his quads... but hey who the f#$k am I 😊

[@airplane3359]

Needs to practice a little more on the shaft when he doesn't have the bell in his hand, will firm up the hands nicely for the next attempt.

[@ogmale7280]

Yeah, and strict...no kipping. AND full ROM, yo !

[@danik321123]

Why?

[@socinspection]

Did 405 in 25 minutes today for a workout. Not saying I’m going for his record any time soon but I will say if I had doubled that in 50 minutes i wouldn’t be able to move right now 😂😂 RAH

[@theturkeysandwichpodcast1027]

Swing swing swing!!!

[@sambo9376]

That was bomb! But, the record is really what counted. Let it fuel you for next time!

[@loverabbasful]

nice sir. sir can we loss our weight from kettle bell?

[@yakeybee4046]

rah SgtM. I got OC sprayed with this man.

[@anglesalazar5582]

FIERCE

[@ciandunphy7888]

16 swings every min

[@anibal6669]

=O amazing! I just do 96 in Tabata and can't continue XD =(

[@codyzeik1937]

Is this the best world record Crossfit you could come up with? How about 225 snatch for max reps in one hour?

[@TheDave000]

"I've got a level one coach" - he took a 45 min online class and doesn't know what "hitching" means in a deadlift.

[@futurecollector]

Anyone know what actual record he was trying to beat, I don't see it on the World Record site :(

[@ogmale7280]

Fastest acquisition of tendinitis and ligament tears.

[@zackjohnsonz]

90% momentum 10% strength

[@5ean5ean22]

Well KB swings really arent about raw Strength.

[@wishesandfishes]

I would love to see a kettlebell swing with 0 momentum

[@reinaldoi653]

Rah SgtMaj.

[@venturejay]

Great job but why are you swinging to a full stop over your head?

[@tallflguy]

American style swing.

[@leepretorius4869]

Makes me wonder if guinness expects that height?

[@alvaroc3944]

Rah!

[@tonyslaughter4285]

Man these guys do the KB swing wrong.

[@WaterandSpirit]

Rah SgtMaj

[@j5.7s12]

Talked all that shit than didn’t do it

[@johnscards4633]

Thank you for your service...nice try👍👍👍

[@leosilva449]

Damn

[@donataus]

hoooo raaaaaa!!!!!

[@TylerScottMillaway]

What’s up with a lot of goofy looking crossfiters?

[@achen94]

How to destroy your rotator cuff

[@ogmale7280]

Gotta get that record for fastest cuff tear, yo !

[@Liam1991]

That's not a swing! Its more like a 2 hand snatch

[@mikejohnston7628]

Hips and lower back ground to dust. Just lift weights cross fit is very damaging to the body. If you want functional training learn judo or bjj

[@philiproberts4101]

...cuz no one ever gets hurt training bjj???

[@spartan90909]

This isnt a workout, its a record attempt and when doing that people will put there body on the line Look at record attempts for weight lifting meets injurys will happen and often do I respect the guy for trying for the record most people never try for anything

[@juncruz3685]

hahahaha

[@Zen-vm5tc]

To bad CrossFit isn’t a respected sport. Zzero
