@danield93 I get that everyone is different, but I used to try to sleep 6 hours a day. And it really messed me up. I read "why we sleep", and then got a lot more respect for the value of sleep. Now I'm trying to get at lest 7 a night. But it's hard because I basically taught myself to be an...

@danield93 When are you going to bed? If you aren't sleeping well, maybe getting up at 4 am isn't the best plan? To me, step 1 seems like get your sleep right. Till then, just do something simple like 100 swings in 10 minutes and trying to work more walking into your regular day. Steps 2a and...

@kingdomkid304 Competition adjustable and then you won't have to answer this question again for a long time. I have 2x Bells of Steel. I'd also consider Titan now based on the price.

@wethefreepeople Doesn't matter. Your muscles don't know if it's lbs or kg.

@sweetcherryblossom +1 It's kind of a cash flow thing I think. In the long run, the adjustables are cheaper. But the initial price is high.

@sweetcherryblossom If you have the money, I'd think about getting two adjustable competition bells. Then you can gradually step up the weight. By as little as ~ 0.5 kg if you can get a couple of 1.25 lb dumb bell plates. You can probably sell your current bells and recoup at least some of...

@leovvv I think the most important thing is to build the habit. I think that starts with doing the things you can do now and progressively increasing the difficulty (reps, sets, weight, time, etc). I also think that fixed weight things are probably easier for people that are overweight than...

@harliee57 FWIW, I prefer suitcase swings with doubles. I can do double cleans between my legs no problem. But double swings between my legs feel super awkward.

@dawn16 I wish it was still in stock...

@josephhayes When it comes time for me to get the additional weight (I have 2 BoS 1x 32 and 1x 20.5), I might get a Titan instead of the extra weight. The extra weight is $100. The titan is $160. And I think I'll have enough smaller weight plates to still have small jumps.

@deemarie This. Venders people have talked about on here include: Bells of Steel. KB Kings, and Titan. Don't know if anyone has purchased from Titan recently, but they have ones (different color than before...don't know if anything else is different) for $160. A 12 kg from pro KB is the same...

@pamelakbd This. Even if it's the "right" weight now, you will probably out grow them pretty soon. This is the beauty of adjustables IMO. You can start where you are and progress without ever buying something again. And my guess is that if you're looking at proKB, you aren't super sensitive...

@kampell My guess is that if you are having tendon issues, you should drop weight. Muscles adapt faster than tendons. Keep grinding out the 18s for a while. Increase progression in other ways (e.g. more reps per set, more sets, longer time, less rest, etc).

@yeshuasown I have two. Having doubles is great. But if you're just starting with KBs, get one first. You'll probably want to learn the movements with one hand first. I bought a 32 kg from BoS when they were on sale (but not clearing out) before they went to v2. Then I bought the 20.5 kg...

@sozo1517 Do a youtube search for Dan John KB easy strength.

@thamtutuhoanglong I think part of the popularity of this program is that it's free. Detailed in this article. Also check out this post on here which talks about DFW, but also a "remix" where you do swings and rows on recovery days. Lots of info, plus a handy printable calendar telling you...

@dixieriderxx My guess is that it's going to be grueling...

@thamtutuhoanglong Sure. A ladder is just a series of sets where the number of reps doesn't stay the same. For example: Let's say we were doing C&P ladders 1, 2, 3 So as written: Set 1: 1 C&P. Set 2: 2 C&P. Set 3: 3 C&P. Set 4: 1 C&P. Set 5: 2 C&P. Set 6: 3 C&P. Then the pattern...

@dixieriderxx I'm 2 workouts into phase 1, but this is how I'm doing the rep scheme: (N)right, (N)left, rest, (N-1)right, (N-1)left, rest etc.

@meeksoul I'd imagine that the big benefit is rest. But I don't know. The first time I started DFW, I only had one adjustable and one 40 lb weight. So I was doing that and alternating hands every set. But since it was a little lighter for me until I got my 2nd adjustable, I just tried to get as...
