40 kg One arm swings 10 x 10/10, pistols, laterals

 

The Punisher workout punished me today. Or, I should say I did it to myself. This workload has been getting better each time the last few months but today, with the experimental change in technique it really kicked my ass

I even skipped a rep. First time ever. But there was no point. it was rep 10 on the second arm on the 8th set and I was cooked.

I used the same technique I used Wednesday, basically leading with the bell and staying completely on mid foot at the top( not sitting back on the heel). the upshot was a MUCH faster  swing rep and way more speed on descent and less time to " enjoy the float" even though bell height was better

But I could really feel it getting tough at 5 sets in ( this video ) and then the bear jumped on my back for the last sets

For set 9 I went back to usual technique and got the feedback the reps with smoother, which I believe, but I think the power was less

One set ten I used hybrid style: right arm new technique, left side old technique and it felt  "interesting"

Here's todays set:

and here's last months set

Haha, the thumbnail caught it at the exact same spot.

I looked at rep 7 on the left hand and today's rep was MUCH higher than last month but I think the old position is probably  safer although sets of 20 is it's own thing

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
