"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

40 kg One Arm Swings 20 x 5/5,hack squats, sandbag pushups, curls, side delts
A slightly different approach here. Decided to do 20 sets of 5/5 to get our 200 reps with this bell instead of 10/10. The thinking is that more sets of lower reps will let us put more power into each rep and set resulting in an overall higher power output for the whole workout.
The idea is to cycle the rep schemes over 40 kg
A
40 kg 20 sets of 5/5
44 kg 10 sets of 10/10
48 kg 20 sets of 5/5
B
40 kg 10 set of 10/10
44 kg 20 sets of 5/5
48 kg 10 sets of 10/10
Seems to be okay but I'm so used to gearing up for sets of 10/10 or pushing the limits towards that with the bell that this seemed almost too easy; although it was definitely harder on the hands/skin.Power out put seemed a bit better but my main problem with power output is not on the first five reps of a set but the last
I have a minimal range I can increase power output on each rep- basically trying to apply more ground force on the 'jump' stage of the rep. I can't 'hit the hole' and reverse things too much more or it will screw up my groove and produce less power and run the risk of tweaking something.
And that's definitely not worth it so I'm not sure this will stick
Sick as it may sound I think I like the higher rep sets better now :)
Twisted.

I've been thinking of adding sandbags to my workout. It seems to work for the people I knew in the military and it would mix up my usual routine.
