Working on form, as said. Swings, mainly. I have kept the rep scheme of 20 (and 5 for the other exercises). 20 seemed an ideal set length: long enough to catch and 'engrave' the pattern but not too long so that it would tempt you to switch to energy saving mode.
My twist and turn to it today was mixing up the weights. No across sets, no ladders, light after heavy, single after double, randomly, sort of, but not aimlessly. I concentrated on getting the same sitting back and loading, the same crisp finish with the same bell height and the same breathing pattern in every set and rep with every weight, 8kg or 32kg. "Adjusting the volume".
