First time pressing the beast (106-lb) in this calendar year!

Something I’ve always been amused by is how the press movement changes a bit with the larger bells (if you’re using cast-iron, not competition). Up to about 88, it’s not a factor, but my 97 and 106 pound bells are so large (and more importantly - have a bit longer handle) that the leverages for the press are noticeably different. Not sure it’s really much easier or harder but it does change the movement.
