Nice!

@magicalmoons Feel free! Would also loosen you up. I don't do goblets (at least with curls) because I want all the energy my biceps have to open with the pull-up sets.

@boatjourney Thank you!

@juancarlos You're right. I don't have intensity info here. In part because I don't know my max numbers, and I don't test often. And I'm a layperson, not a trainer, so I don't have 25 training clients to test it on to tell you what average would be. I can tell you that I've been able to hit...

@dawn16 I'd say just pay attention to how the step loading works. If this step I'm doing this for C&P... 20 20 20 20 20 Then the next step (4 weeks later) I'm doing this... 20 24 20 20 20 Each of those steps lasts for 4 weeks, the way I do it (and in S&S 2.0). Increasing every set at the...

@dawn16 Seems like you're adding weight a little fast if you're jumping on all your sets. Wouldn't work for me, but you know your body. Get it!

@dawn16 That's how I do it!

@houseofsaul I mostly do EMOM so I don't have to worry about a timer! Once I'm starting, I want as little thinking as possible.

@tythomasjr Yes, every rep is a CLEAN AND a PRESS. That's part of why there's only 50 swings in the program. Because I've just done 50 cleans as well. [edit: It's also how I justify 2-hand swings in my head.]

@dawn16 I actually find that because of the C&P my ability to do the push-ups as the last exercise here is significantly lower than at other times. And with only 30 seconds per set, it's pretty much back-to-back. If I keep progressing, I'll have to change it up. Ring dips would be intense and...

@grace1 Tried it and didn't like it. One of my main goals of this program is to work the upper torso (shoulders, chest, arms) and the squat thrusters transferred too much power generation into the legs and butt (away from the desired muscles). It's a fine exercise, it just doesn't do I what I...

@grace1 I may have to do a little experimentation on that...

@latin2112 Awesome!

@latin2112 I haven't. Haven't really gotten into loaded carries. But I understand why some people love them. Much of what I do is about keeping it minimal, or, to choose Pavel's language, Simple. In the other comments where folks have asked about squats, I've suggested you could find a way...

@chanhhobieu Not familiar. I guess I should've written this as a Kindle book! :)

@jubilee58 I transitioned pretty much straight out of S&S into this. So it's been a continuous progression. In terms of overall body shape, my arms and lats (two areas targeted most here) are growing. I notice my arms completely fill my sleeves in more and more of my t-shirts. Strength as...

@dawn16 You're welcome for sharing! It's been post-kids that I've reclaimed my fitness, too. It's easy to let things slip when you are focused on starting a family, supporting a pregnancy, and all that entails. Sounds like a smart swap for the bench press, too. I'd be ready to swap out if I...

Longtime lurker, first time poster. My name is Roy and I do kettlebells. :) What follows is my self-designed protocol for building a more "manly physique" -- that I've been running for the last 3 months to good results. \"Manly Physique!\" [note: my tongue is planted firmly in my cheek in...
