@khohanguc `You answered your own question: the standard doesn’t mean anything it’s completely arbitrary

@uffer I believe that would actually be Pavel

@modesty That does sound like a good one! Double snatch or half snatch is always a good full body movement. Could always incorporate some clean/squat/press if you wanna go crazy.

@dawn16 Yeah I get what you mean about “soothing.” There’s something about these progressive rep schemes (ladders, pyramids, etc) that make them a great way to get in a lot of reps without the tedium of straight sets.

@kris8585 Yes, I paired the two pushing movements together as one “JV20” and the two pulling movements as a second “JV20”. I actually agree with you and usually like pairing opposing movements. But the weights I brought with me aren’t terribly heavy for me so I decided to pair the similar...

Some of you may have heard of Josh Bryant, coach and author of Jailhouse Strong, amongst many other titles. Jailhouse Strong, as the name suggests, dives into methods used by inmates to stay fit and gain strength with minimal equipment. One of the methods he discussed is the “Juarez Valley...

@googs There’s not, to my knowledge. I was just making a crappy joke about how they always seem to embellish content to promote their methods. 🙃

@googs Isn’t storytelling and embellishment part of the RKC/SFG Level 3 cert?

@penaia That makes sense. Long term strength gains usually seem to stem from quality sub-maximal training over time where there are plenty of variables other than weight that can be manipulated for progressive overload.

@penaia Great work! Did you just use the 16, 24, and 32?

@lod83 There are many talented Olympic weightlifters with surprisingly mediocre pressing strength. At least since clean & press was removed from competition.

@andy0 I’ve done offset presses and they felt about the same as single arm presses to me. For example doing 24 and 20 for reps feels about the same as doing 24 with a single arm for the same reps. I’m used to barbell pressing and overhead work so I wonder how that’d translate to double KB...

@andy0 Do you feel that pressing doubles are more challenging than a single KB?

@ffrankie This is gold!

@loves2readya The Rippletoes of kettlebell 😂

@jesustruegod Why do you think singles might be better for cardio?

@y0ung1996 I hike quite a bit. I also love leg training and have achieved decent unilateral leg strength (I did a 64kg pistol squat per leg recently). Here are my thoughts: Most of the benefit of the exercise you linked to will be from the step up portion (where weight can be varied with single...

@solution4music “Grinds” in the context of KB training usually refers to exercises that have a controllable eccentric component, like squats, presses, and cleans so I am assuming that the OP is talking about exercise selection rather than making each rep a “slow grind”. I would agree that...

@solution4music Beyond heaps of anecdotal evidence supporting it, this paper by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, is a good starting point. Note the section on Repetition Speed. https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/fulltext/2010/10000/the_mechanisms_of_muscle_hypertrophy_and_their.40.aspx
