I'm really getting into double bell swings these days. I've accepted having to stand so wide and it's actually so reminiscent of my power squat stance that I have warm fuzzy feelings about it now.It wasn't, and still isn't, a great power position for me but it really works my hips and glutes that always need work and it doesn't bother my knee.
It was hard to find a groove but I think it's getting there. Very challenging to be able to apply enough force to get them to parallel with the deck but it's getting stronger.
Plus it's a kick to be able to do them after all these years.
Two bell swings
2 14's x 8 x 3 sets
2 16's x 5
2 20's x 7,8,9 x 3 ladders
72 reps
6336 lbs
was going to do some one arm swings after but I tweaked my right forearm abit ( somehow) on the gama casts on saturday ( just a too tight wrist flexor) and decided to keep the volume down.
Belt squats
40 kg x 20,20,20, 25
moved the stance in even close and these are really feeling solid,hence the 25 rep set at the end.Finally feeling like I have some quad strength and a bit of size back and it feels awesome.
Pushups to straight bar
2 sets of 10 easy peezy! no clunking
Pushups to parallel bars
2 sets of 6 !
Nice! The parallel grip involved 20 degrees more ROM. I thought going lower could be worse but it was fine. MUCH harder, way more stretch on the delts and pecs and I can't rest/pause on the bar but it worked and no clunking either.
Bodyblade laterals
3 x 10/10

Worked on the shield cast today and those high rep sets torch the wrist flexor s, especially in my case coupled with doing pull-ups.
Nice that the doubles are working well and of course the no clunk push-ups ;)
thanks Joe. going to go back to shield and arm casts instead of the gama's. switching the grip is being problematic
feels better now. just needed some lacrosse ball love :)
the pushups rocked!
