Superhuman: 4th test run

Jon:
No Eskrima practise today so why not continue the Superhuman experiment?
The original idea was to try if I could do 10 tons worth of 32 kg swings in one hour but as I suspected it became too hard for my grip pretty quickly so I switched over to light deadlifts for the rest of the hour which proved to be an excellent idea.
Two handed swings, 32 kg: 35, 35,
Deadlifts, 56 kg: 22, 30, 30, 30, 30, 20, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15
=15512 kg in 50 minutes
=310kg/min

Conclusion: Light deadlifts are a pretty good idea if you want to lift a lot of weight during a long time. It does tax the grip but not as bad as swings or snatches and if I really loose the grip after a few hours I can wrap a belt around the handle and my wrists. I would feel a bit like cheating but it is better than quitting.

  1. Frankly, man, what's the point of all this? If DL are as valid for your "test" as swings and snatches, wouldn't the one-foot hops be too? If so, go run 10K. There you have around 5000 one-foot hops. Times your bodyweight (let's say 85kg), that makes for 425 tons in about 45min. And what's that "cheating is better than quitting"? Since when?
