1-arm swings and a Getup PR

1-arm swings with 24 kg bell - 5 sets of 6/6 on-the-2nd minute + 5 sets on-the-minute.  Hopefully after this 3 week cycle I can start turning some of those swings into snatches :).  I am definitely getting more used to having the 24 kg bell locked out overhead now that I can do a couple of getups with it.

Getups - I did 6 rounds with a moderate rest in between each.  12kg bell, 16, 18, 24, 24, finishing with 24 on my right side and the 18 with my left.  I got in a little trouble at the end of my 2nd round with the 24 kg.  The 2nd attempt with the 24 kg on my left side was probably unnecessary but I'm calling it a PR anyway.  First time doing 2 rounds on the left side with the 24 kg bell.  I was holding the bell poorly on the 2nd pass and crushing my forearm...I moan like a baby at the end of the video lol.

Here's the first round of swings.  I was feeling very strong today for whatever reason. 
 
Here's the round of getups where I get in just a little trouble at the end
