This was interesting – heart rate was never up to an uncomfortable feeling, but body temperature was skyrocketing. Lunge was the only time I really felt the heart rate up, I’m sure mostly because the time under tension, in warm ups i calculated around 40s per 50ft. Found no comfortable way to hold db’s, vertical on shoulders was probably best way to breathe but felt the least amount of control and had to grip to control a little. Handle laying across the shoulders felt the least amount of work from grip, but made this the hardest to breathe. Don’t think this has any relevance for you but I was 17 steps each time in the 50ft. T2b felt good but it was only 12, and when I did the time estimation in warm up, I didn’t expect much more than I got so knew I had to not let go. Need to find a way to speed up my barbell cycle time, even though it was only 6 this is the one that the heart rate response felt the highest, just need to suck it up and be quicker here.
