@benthebeliever What I was saying is "showing up consistently is the only way to get lasting results"! Great job!

@emmanuelm118 Thanks for the tip. I do kind of like the idea of 8 week blocks of both. We'll see how I feel after the first run.

@emmanuelm118 That's awesome! I understand the benefit of consistent improvement, but it's nice to see it in action. I use the adjustables and only went up by 1/2 kg last time (while doing an Easy Strength workout). I was initially surprised at how much heavier they felt (maybe mental?). But...

@allison18 Last summer, I was doing club / arc pretty consistently. But haven't been doing it nearly as much as I'm currently having more fun learning some double KB stuff. I'm also trying to do more LISS cardio. What I was doing was essentially the the MW 2H Club order of operations workout...

W1D3: sets of 2 (CP, CP, c, FS, FS) After humming and hawing, I increased by 1/2 kg. So now doing double 22 kg. Total of 26 sets (52 reps). Didn't seem to hurt my shoulder. Will try next week at this weight and re-evaluate then.

Rest day was 40 minute LISS on my recumbent bike. W1D2: Sticking with the same weight (for now anyway). Singles. 46 reps. Smaller sets = more rest times. Still no rest between C&P and squats. But I did add the extra clean per Heavy Dwarf. So sets today were CP, c, FSQ. Felt easier, but my...

@kruise Thanks for the tip. Nice to have the extra rep. And since I'm press limited, doing an extra clean is a good idea IMO.

Doing DFW for the 2nd time. First time, I did 20 kg. Then I did 8 weeks of an KB easy strength moved from 20 kg, to 21 kg, to 21.5 kg. Now I'm doing another run a DFW with 21.5 kg. I do the C&P and the squats as one set. (e.g. CP, CP, CP, Sq, Sq, Sq, rest) 10 full ladders, and 1 set of 3...

@malaps I did this initially when I had fixed weight cast iron bells and only one competition adjustable. It was fine. Even when the weight was unbalanced, it worked pretty well. I think it's slightly more comfortable with two comp adjustables, but not major. I think having some asymmetry is...

@outofthedesert I think the numbers you have sound right.

@palmtreeclimber I think Dan also says that squatting over some certain threshold doesn't translate to increased athletic performance. Although I'd imagine the threshold he talks about when using barbells is much higher than 64kg. Re these standards. I'm pretty sure I'm somewhere between 2 and...

@jonyjam_123 DFW (not remix) is also 3 / week.
