Hi there,
I'm a smaller guy (65kg) and I've got to a point where I can do 16kg TGU in less than 10 minutes and feel pretty OK at the end of it. So I need to level up. I have a 24kg bell (I'm swinging with a 16kg as the 24kg was just too much to start with). I tried for the first time today, and I could barely get it to the press position with two arms. I could just about hold it overhead, but it was pretty wobbly. I just could not move beyond that. I have thought of a few things that I might do to solve this problem and I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on these ideas or anything else to try:
1) Get a 20kg bell
2) Keep trying each day and hope that I'll gradually be a bit stronger each day and eventually get there
3) See if getting my swings to 24kg helps (that would be a month or two away I suspect)
4) Have someone assist me with parts of the movement (not an option as I train at home but mentioned for completeness)
Thanks everyone!
Chris
