So remember the prior post about focusing on the finer points of your technique..check out what a little more effort and a determined mind set can do. Prior to taking a video of my attempts I was playing around with my presses. I am comfortable with doing about 5 reps with a 16kg bell (35lbs). I then tried the 40, went up with ease. I then tried a 45lb (which I successfully pressed once before). That went up pretty easily. So I went for a 50lb. That too, went up! So with support from the boys (Dave, Trevor and Shaun) I dared to try the Iron Maiden Bell. The Iron Maiden Bell is a 24kg bell (53lb) that is the standard for men in RKC. It is a big "challenge bell" for woman..dubbed Iron Maiden Bell.

So you've heard us say it and will continue to say it. YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT WHAT YOUR BODY CAN DO. YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY!!
