The 10,000 Swing Kettlebell Workout | T Nation
The ultimate combination of the most powerful kettlebell exercise and hardcore strength work. Get ready to be better... at everything!
Use an undulating rep scheme to reach 500 total reps per workout:
- Set 1: 10 reps
- Set 2: 15 reps
- Set 3: 25 reps
- Set 4: 50 reps
You've now completed 100 reps or one cluster. Repeat the cluster 4 more times for a total of 500 swings. Between sets, experienced lifters will add a low-volume strength movement.
After each round of 10, 15, and 25 reps, rest 30-60 seconds. The first cluster will be easy and you can jam through it. In the later clusters, you'll need the full 60 seconds or more for grip strength recovery.
After each set of 50, rest will extend to 3 minutes or more. During this post-50 rest period, perform a "corrective." Stretch anything that needs it, like the hip flexors. Do a mobility movement of choice.

Behold an Interactive Online Edition of Elizabeth Twining's Illustrations of the Natural Orders of Plants (1868) | Open Culture
Of all the varied objects of creation there is, probably, no portion that affords so much gratification and delight to mankind as plants. —Elizabeth Twining
“Who owned nature in the eighteenth century?” asks Londa Schiebinger in Plants and Empire, a study of what the Stanford historian of science calls “colonial bioprospecting in the Atlantic World.” The question was largely decided at the time by “heroic voyaging botanists” and “biopirates” who claimed the world’s natural resources as their own.

Consistency in Design is the Wrong Approach — UX Articles by UIE
Current Knowledge is a much better way to think about the problem.
Consistency in design is about making elements uniform—having them look and behave the same way. We often hear designers talk about consistent navigation, consistent page layouts, or consistent control elements.
the right question is, “Will the user’s current knowledge help them understand how to use what I’m designing?”

A Visual Git Reference
Git From the Bottom Up
In my pursuit to understand Git, it’s been helpful for me to understand it from the bottom
up — rather than look at it only in terms of its high-level commands. And since Git is so beautifully simple when viewed this way, I thought others might be interested to read what I’ve found,
and perhaps avoid the pain I went through finding it.
The Architecture of Open Source Applications
In these two books, the authors of four dozen open source applications explain how their software is structured, and why. What are each program's major components? How do they interact? And what did their builders learn during their development? In answering these questions, the contributors to these books provide unique insights into how they think.
If you are a junior developer, and want to learn how your more experienced colleagues think, these books are the place to start. If you are an intermediate or senior developer, and want to see how your peers have solved hard design problems, these books can help you too.
