@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...

@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...
