Hi everyone,
So I've been doing S&S virtually daily since 28th November, with only the occasional day off. I'm currently using the 24kg for both exercises; swings are still over 5 minutes (maybe about 6min 30sec right now?), while my get-ups are easily done in 7min 30sec - 8 minutes.
Now, slight issue: my 32kg bell arrived today, and I figured that given I was doing so well with the 24kg get-ups, that adding a rep per side with the 32 would be no problem... I was wrong, it's A LOT heavier than I thought ('only' 8kg more I thought... Nice one Harry... Moron), even given careful attention to all the high tension techniques, power breathing, etc.. So yeah, I settled this morning for doing my second rep per arm with the 32 but only to the lunge position*; trying to stand up might actually have killed me. This alone was very tough work though.
So what would you guys recommend? I figured careful practice of each position until I feel comfortable standing up, then eventually working my way back down, would likely be the way forward; then of course adding more reps with the 32, slowly but surely.
Any advice from those who have been there and done it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
*so the get-ups this morning looked like this: 24L, 24R, 32L to lunge, 32R to lunge, 24L, 24R, 24L, 24R, 24L, 24R.
