40 kg One arm swings ( pr), Goblet squat ( pr) close pushups, crawls



Worked hard to keep my head up during my one arm swing workout and it's starting to not only feel more natural but better. I can definitely see how it helps keep my back in extension better, leading to more hip drive /loading but I can see from the video that it is also keeping my arm straighter in the bottom, something I did not expect
You can teach an old dog new tricks it seems, even after 13 plus years of doing it one way :)
The record shows that I did 5 sets of 5/5 and 5 sets of 6/6 last October ( plus a set of 10/10) Doing all sets of 6/6 would be a pr so that was what I set out to do.
It was actually very strong, almost easy. The best I've ever swung this weight so I was very pleased. Felt like I could easily do 8's with it. Next time
