And the answer is: heavy enough to tweak my shoulder, which had been feeling so good, despite all the heavy lifting I've been doing, that I had forgotten how bad it was bothering me for the last few years.
Man, ƒuck a bunch of power-lifting bullcrap. Everything I have ever read about proper lifting says that jerking weights around is bad, and I don't understand how to do this "power" crap with swinging, jerking, and otherwise inviting an injury.
But I think I will try this: jump-squat + cheating hammer curl + push press. Jump, bounce, bounce. Three distinct movements. I am determined to develop some heavy "whole body" things that I can do safely.
