serpentstar: I see your 93 and give you 102. Followed by a dose of my usual free-range shenanigans.

Nice work... though... I'm out of practice! You should be able to manage more than 102! I guess it was just a warmup though. ;)

I think it's a matter of ROM and gravity being stuff that there isn't a lot of wiggle in; I suspect that my output with the 54# would be similar (Hmmm... this sounds like something to investigate at lunchtime).

Yeah -- to get much faster than 30 to 35 reps a minute, you have to be deliberately forcing the swing somewhat, which I suspect alters the nature of the exercise a little. Still -- it is possible, and KB competition scores indicate that people are going considerably faster than that.

maelstromsl posted vids of a KB competitor a few weeks back, and they don't use the full ROM for their stuff; they don't even get below the knees, which was quite the surprise to see.

Well, were I the judge, I'd only be counting full ROM reps.

1... still 1, that was crappy... 1... 1... Oh, OK, that one just about counts, 2... 2...

apparently, our way is considered "hardcore."
