Is that pretty good going?

@bernard05 If you feel good, you're doin good!

@bernard05 You are working out. That’s all that matters.

@bernard05 If you are a pro keirin rider, it's pretty weak.
If you started lifting a year ago it's pretty good.
Not sure what sort of answer you're really expecting...

@bernard05 A). Are we talking about double 40kg bells, totaling 80kg?

B). Or double 20kg bells, totally 40kg?

If A, then I’m impressed.

If B, that’s not terribly impressive.

@bernard05 It's a good start! I would recommend more sets and then increasing the number of reps, staying away from failure. Starting with 5 sets with the number of reps you can use to get all 5 sets done. Then reps as it feels better until you can do 5x10, and then maybe dropping reps back to e.g. 5 but doing 8 or 10 sets. Or adding weight and restarting.
