@giants89 Thanks!

@littlebopeek Hey, thanks, that's a good point regarding those two muscle groups. I'll look for what I could do to fill-in. One caveat for S&S@38kg, I takes me around 10-12min for swings, but for TGU I need longer rests, probably about a minute or so between each rep, so in total I'm not...

@marry Hey thanks for your message. So under assumption that the main factor of hypertrophy is volume, not load for 1RM, I think one can progressively overload volume with reps and sets. Those 8kg increments are a bit tough to work around, and that's why I assume I can first rely on small reps...

@bevc The imbalance of having 20kg on one hand and 28kg on the other seemed weird to me when I tried it. I am worried it would come at a sacrifice to the form. I do have KB Tag (https://kbtag.eu/), which can bridge that gap a bit though to a 2kg difference.

@solution4music Hi, thanks for the reply. Judging from what top bodybuilders do, I believe the most bang for buck in size gains comes from maximizing time under tension for heavy load (for 6-20 reps), which I found is best achieved through slow, controlled movements with tension on both...

@solution4music I think more specifically on maximizing time under tension, I also noticed that on an example of Swings. Even when I 1H swing 38kg bell, I can't help but release some tension at the top of the swing (since the bell is weightless for a fraction second). Sure, I could hold an...

@loves2readya Sure cleans snatches and jerks are maybe better for hypetrophy than swings, but are they still more optimal than the corresponding grinds (squats, rows, OHPs)?

@gaconvn Thanks, I guess I'll do that. I also do BJJ couple of times a week which might fill in the gaps.

Hi there, I've been doing S&S for about a year now, and I can now comfortably do S&S with 38kg every day. Although not totally untrained, my hypertrophy gains are not that great, so in the hypertrophy-style training, I would say I am pretty much a novice. I decided to switch things up...
