I have three competition style bells and 16, 24, and 32 kg. I completed the simple standard last summer and then lost some ground with the arrival of our third child. I have since regained the simple standard.
Over the holidays I purchased a 36 kg fitness style bell (classic e-coat from metrixx). It’s an awesome bell. I have started to work this into my practice when I am feeling strong. However, I notice my grip starts to slip around six or seven swings in. It is somewhat better with chalk.
Perhaps I should have stuck to one style of bell. But here I am. Given my grip limitation how should I proceed with advancing S&S?
I have considered doing sets of five reps in place of 10 reps and doubling up the number of sets to get to 10.
