I thought about switching to a heavier kettlebell for the 2-hand swings. I'm glad I decided to stick with the 20kg. Practicing the 2-hand swing for the prescribed work and rest intervals for this week under Kettlebell Burn 2.0 was really hard, compared to the previous 2 weeks. After the switch from Kettlebell Burn 2.0 to Kettlebell Burn Reloaded, the 2-hand swing workouts were more reasonable for me, but I'm still glad I stuck with the 20kg.
The next phase asks the trainee to do Turkish Get Up for 3 repetitions in a row, per side. I've always done the TGU in singles so to prepare myself I tried doing 2 reps in a row, every other set. When I did a 2-rep set for the first time I completed the first rep in supine position, then started tn the 2nd rep from that supine position. I was able to complete the 2nd rep but the endurance of my arm and forearm was pushed close to the limit. The next time I attempted a 2-rep set I completed the rep with the KB back on the floor. I then rested 15 seconds, then began the next rep lifting the KB off the floor. This made the 2nd rep a little less demading, but my grip still wore out. I was able to complete the 2nd rep relatively safely but I felt I was barely in control because of the fatiguing grip.
Overall I'm glad I switched over from 2.0 to Reloaded.
