I'm a 57 year old make closing in on SS. I've got 30kg on the swing and 22kg on the TGU. Up until now I've been using the swing bell size for the warmup squats. At 30kg, the torque on my thumbs is substantial and I think taking away from the purpose of the movement which is to stretch out the hips. (I use competition bells so the holding surface is vertical and the horizontal part pressures the thumbs. I wonder if cast bells with a bit of angle would be easier?)
Today I used 24kg and was able to stay and stretch much longer.
What is the proper weight to use on the squats?
Thanks!
Bernie
