AMRAPs are fine tools to gauge endurance, so long as you can get the athlete to minimize slow down periods or rests and maintain the intensity of the workout. Its entirely too easy for athletes to try to nap between movements. Its 14 minutes of work. DO as much as you can. Rest AFTER the WOD, not during.

Kettle bell swings are one of those workouts that if you do them unbroken, no matter how many there are, 10, 20, 50, it is much harder to restart your kettle bell swings after you give in and take a rest. It is best for your overall conditioning to resist at all costs, stopping in the middle of your kettle bell requirement for a workout. Do them all unbroken, and you will be able to reap the rewards sooner than if you make a habit of pausing in the middle of your kettle bell swings. Food for though as you tackle this one.
