Thank you and I understand the physics behind it. However I would refer back to the running analogy I made in the other post and I’m not counting workload in that number based, quantitative way. I understand the physical load of a longer range motion, but I don’t really think it’s that big of a deal to be honest. Because I am doing continuous sets without slowing the pace, it’s equivalent to shorter stride. Yes you need more force, but the difference in distance and force is not enough in my opinion to make a big difference. You’ve also have to realized that 1,500 reps in so – yeah it was shorter than the others.
You probably also know that it’s easy to throw extra height into the swing by changing body position or changing muscles used and I’m trying not to do that. i.e., you can overact the shoulder and arms to force the bell to go higher or change the angle, but that’s not the point. I think the big point of th swing isn’t so much the height as is the direction of force and body extension/hip hinge movement.
