150 40 kg One arm swings, big personal best.

This was a very nice surprise. My first thought was going back to the 40 and 48 kg for some really heavy sets but then I thought I would test myself with the 40kg. I've never done more than a few sets of 5/5 with it and wondered how my new strength would carryover to a very heavy bell for me in terms of endurance.

The answer: damn good! We were thinking ten sets at first, then twelve then I knew we could do fifteen without too much trouble so that's what we did. Bell speed stayed high and height actually improved as the sets went along and my old carcass got warmed up.

I pushed myself a bit at the end combining the last two sets and giving me an all time pr as well; never have done 10/10 with the 40 kg!

I can get this into position behind me by myself which is a huge accomplishment :) I needed help up until now. says a lot about my shoulder strength in new ranges of motion.
