@whitney5388 escalated density training basically, pick two opposing exercises and go HAM for 15 minutes. Don’t worry if you’re doing less reps by the end, and try to beat your workout each session. The article explains it in more detail, and talks about when to progress. Those 15 minute...

@dwatson659 Those podcasts are what I’m really getting into. I’ve read a few of his articles before, but the amount of great information he’s putting out there is just awesome.

@marthaschramm Thanks for the write up and congratulations. Ditto on the morning routine. Since my daughter was born the evening is really the only time I have with her so it’s nice getting a workout in before her and my wife wake up in the morning.

@whitney5388 I used to do “EDT” sets for dips and chins. I’d just set a timer for 10-15 minutes at the end of my workout and go HAM until the timer buzzed. Now, I like Neupert’s philosophy of not even slowing down my reps if possible. So, 20-30 minutes seems about right. Don’t be afraid to up...

@giddyg I’m anal enough to strongly prefer a matched set. I dunno about you. You can always gift the old one to someone. My buddy who started with 2 reps on the press at 16kg just bought a 32. I didn’t even have to goad him into it. Or try and sell it.

@charliehcf It’s strange, because when I was reading through the quick and the dead it said to use your weaker arm first, and to give it extra sets depending on your roll. The rest periods are slightly different from S&S though. The quick and the dead also alternates between push-ups and swings...

@dixieriderxx I’ve only done phase 1 with doubles. My guess is that you need to start jogging or cycling. Sets of 15 snatches isn’t bad at all IMO, but I guess if you have no cardio base it could suck.

@holiness4 I’d consider Right of Passage or the Dry Fighting Weight Remix. First, you should really consider a press program. Second, they both have progressions built into them. Lastly, it’s nice to finish a few programs. You’ll learn those progressions which will help you to write your own...

@7seals Try some double bell complexes. The basic would be the ABC. Neupert has some brutal ones and I’ve seen a few clips from Swing This Kettlebell Club that look brutal as well.

@mydavesat Every Minute On the Minute. It’s usually used for HIIT or circuit training. In this case, you can use it significantly increase your volume.

I think many of us have talked about one of Dan John’s programs or read about them on this sub. He’s always put out great content. Personally, I’ve been thinking of when to start to 10,000 swing challenge and wanted to do a little digging on YouTube. I came across his YouTube channel and really...

@seekingadvice24 I train for 20-40 minutes most mornings. I’m also able to bike to work, so I can squeeze in an hour of light cardio most days. You can get a lot done in 20 minutes or you could get almost nothing done. Everyone’s advice to pick a program you like and stick to it is sound. If...

@mir2017lma That’s awesome! A bunch of folks on the subs seem like they are in the middle of The Giant with 2x32. I feel so left out! Taking a stab at it with 40s would be impressive AF. Would you spring for 36s, or just try to make the 8kg jumps?

@petertohen Someone posted this in another sub last night. I really like his blog but just got into it, so it’s always great to see people post his past write-ups. It’s loosely about running, but don’t let that fool you. It is a different type of EMOM work but should give you some fun ideas...

@snowlucario I do about 10 total push presses and squats with them before my main workout. Probably by next month I’ll switch to presses and keep the same routine. 10 presses and squats with the 32s, then clean and jerks with the 24s. I have two months left on the fat loss beta test program...

@darren927 Unless you are a gymnast that’s a tall order. OP, the other approach you could try is take 30% of your max pull-ups and do them EMOM, trying to build up to thirty minutes. I only mention it to answer your question. Will it be any faster? Probably not, it will likely be a slower...

@snowlucario I’ll check out the email later. I also like that he slapped a time on there, especially the 20 minutes. I feel like when I get through The Giant with the 32s, that’s more than attainable. It’s a nice easy progression with each bell, DFW into The Giant. That’s a solid 4 months of...

@antitox Strange, that helps to un-fuck most people’s shoulders. Something else to try would be an overhead squat. If you try to hit a good depth, even just a broomstick with a snatch grip might give you trouble. That said, I’m not sure how it will help the bottom position of your press.

@bikochieng Yeah, I mostly did snatches but I got into the random dice rolls as well. I wouldn’t recommend it now as a stand-alone program. What you outlined looks good to me. What you outlined is similar to this article all around training. I think that I did some easy goblet squats and haloes...

@antitox Are you also doing chin-ups or pull-ups? Just spending more time hanging might help you with shoulder mobility/stability.
