The 1-kg test!

The gauntlet has been thrown down, eh? Impressive time, jp. 👍

Well, I've broken my record each time I do it. Ether I'm rapidly gaining a higher tolerance for pain, or my arm/shoulder muscles are for some reason getting strong really quick.

I would imagine your tollerance for pain is going up. It's been said that physical activities are 80% mental, and only 20% based on your muscular ability. The body is far more powerful than we give it credit for. The mind, however, is weak and needs to be broken (:

Mind over matter, indeed.

It the burning just starts to go numb after a while, and since I'm a person of little patiences I think I just say "**** it" too soon. I'll try again.

Tip: Listen to music while you do it.

I just got 7:48.51 .

And my arm is really, really weak right now.

First try with my left arm I got 6:27. I'll try the other arm later .

Did you listen to music? I did and it increased my time a lot. I went from about 5:xxx to 7:48, which is a huge difference. It's got to be mind power, or just being distracted—anything so you don't focus on the weight. I'm going to try again tomorrow and see what time I get.

I just tried again, and got 4:40.... though I gotta say that I went to the gym earlier today. The other time as well. At the end I was really making the funniest faces to be able to keep my arm up. In a minute I'll try again with my left arm or else I end up with one big shoulder.

 

[PS]

Ok, I got a new 7:55 on my right arm. My left is still around 5:10-5:30 with music though. I should really be doing more (throwing, shooting etc) with that arm and try to equal out the muscles or bring that one up to par. That's even with music on.

Just tried with my weak left arm and got 4:29, it's true that it is harder than it looks !
