Is the reps per set that does it? Is it a heart rate target that you are after?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6746449661347809966.post-80451720848508360302007-07-14T17:16:00.000-07:002007-07-14T17:16:00.000-07:00Royce, Yeah, it took that 1600 swing workout w/16...Royce, <BR/><BR/>Yeah, it took that 1600 swing workout w/16kg to figure that one out, saves your back big time! <BR/><BR/>Guiding the bell back and down with your hand/arm, while catching the down/force with your legs, using a "shock absorbing" method, pretty cool.
