KB swings are fine for high reps, as long your technique is spot on, every rep from the first to the last should be the same. It takes practice to be able to hip-hinge the bell for high reps. I usually use 53-60 pound bell and do 100 reps total for KB swings. I use few different set/rep ranges to achieve those 100 reps total...10 sets of 10 reps... or 5 sets of 20 reps... or 4 sets of 25 reps and I make absolutely sure that the last rep is the same as the first.
