44 kg One arm swings

I own a 44 kg bell but it is an ugly mutant of a thing. It's at least 10 years old and I was happy to get it at the time from an small manufacturer because there were NO 44 kg bells being made at the time. But the handle is too thick, the surface paint slippery and it's just ugly.

Since I am actually USING these weights now I thought it was time to invest in a proper 44 kg  and I got a great deal on a Dragondoor bell with the latest e finish so I grabbed it. It's SO much nicer than my mutant bell but it weighs the same so swinging it isn't that much easier. A bit because the handle is thinner and symmetrical but weight wise, the same amount of work :)

Yesterday was a mutant day in itself with non stop demo's from 5:45 am  until 1 pm. I don't I've ever done this much demonstrating in a day in ALL the years I've been doing personal training and that's a lot.I was seriously cooked at the end of the day but VERY happy to see that nothing was tweaked or twisted this morning, and I wasn't even as sore as normal? Very strange indeed. But, I'll take it!

Band Back press

 4 sets of 10 with SINGLE red band.
LOL when this thing showed up I tried it immediately and immediately got my ass handed to me :) Even with ONE lonely band it was TONS of tension. Of course I did the back press in front of me ( wrong position) making it WAY harder but even with it in the back it's not light at all and I tried two bands today at the end and I am no where close so I have tons of work to do.But this is a keeper as well.
