S&S 32kg to 40kg (2cc)

I've been using some of the ideas from this Strong First forum thread,
"Ss and long rests" that refers to this blog post, "Long Rests" and thinking more in line with an "Easy Strength" mindset. So, this week I've experimented with a couple things instead of my previous time limits that maintained the S&S goals, which were 1) continuing the next set in a certain amount of time after "feeling ready" and 2) continuing after a certain amount of slow nasal breaths. I prefer the breath count between sets and then just stopping the timer instead of looking at the timer and waiting for 30 seconds or so after "feeling ready". During this experiment, my time ranges were from 7.5 to 10 minutes for swings and 12 to 14 minutes for TGUs. I feel that adding another 40kg set to both movements wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm not going to do that, yet!

Warm-up: GSQ, bridge, & halo.
