48 kg One Arm Swing 10 x 10/10 7th time, 135 lb hack squats, sandbag pushups, rear delts


I was nervous for this one. Last week was so strong and solid I wondered if the power for the fives would carry over to tens. It did.
It's just SO much stinking work. and the closer you get to the finish the harder it is to  keep up the power. Now that I know what's coming I have to work very  hard to stay out of my own way mentally.
BUT I, and we, were stronger than ever. No grip. callus, wind, or leg issues at all and the last three sets were the best ever.
Focusing on following the bell and creating the fastest  and most powerful arc is really helping. Not getting tied up on my legs or hips at all and when I fatigue it's easier to keep the acceleration up; in both directions.
Very please.

having four of us there really helped too, way more rest.
