I completed the "Trila by Fire" this morning with the 15lb clubbells in 35:18. It was very tough as my grip started to give way half-way though the workout! I can only compare it to how my hands/grip feels at the end of Viking Warrior Conditioning with a 16kg bell (80 Sets of 8). My heart rate was through the roof at about 5 minutes and stayed there the whole time. It is going to take me some time to work up to the 25lb clubs. I plan on taking tomorrow OFF as my hands and forearms will need it.
The following is taken from Coach Steer's blog about clubbells:
"The Trial by Fire is quite simply one of the most grueling full body tests of strength-endurance that I can think of".
The official Trial by Fire is done with a set of 25 lbs Clubbells®, and consists of:
130 One-handed Mills on each side
130 Double Swipes and
130 Two-handed Hammer Swings (65 per direction)
The exercises themselves are presented on the following link in the middle of the page:
"Suffice it to say that the Trial by Fire will rip the skin off your hands and wring every last ounce of muscular strength-endurance from your entire body while it taxes your cardio-vascular system to its limit. It will test your mental toughness and require absolute technical efficiency".
I would agree with the above statement 100%!
My workout log for the last 17 years. Every workout that I have done since February of 2007 is listed here. I decided to move my training log from a notebook to online and needed a name for the URL. I was training with mostly Kettlebells back then, thus the name - Kettlbellrob.

Great job with the 15lb
Dont know how someone could do 130 mills with a 25lb to much wieght and torqe on the elbows . I can see 30-50 but 130 darn must be a animal. I am a big guy and 25lb mills tear my elbows up for a week . Dont seem healthy to me on the joints . I will not even try .

Thanks! I agree 25 is heavy but I want to work up to it eventually. At 160lbs it would be a good feat.
