    S&S - how long did it take you to do the 100 swings in 5 min w/ 24 kg?

    @pearlgrl13 I did S&S for several months when I first got into kettlebell training and I never timed my sessions. I would rest until I felt ready to go with the next set. At the end I was doing all 100 swings one handed and 10 getups with the 40 kg. I did 3-4 sessions a week. Timeless is the...

    Can single and double press be progressed together, or better to focus on one at a time?

    @andy0 If you can press the 28 x 5, you should be very close to being able to press the 32 x 1. Hence why Zsolt might be a good fit for you, right now. If you look at the first 3 weeks of the ZD plan you'll see it's mostly just pressing the 28 and the 24, anyway. RoP will definitely solidify...

    Can single and double press be progressed together, or better to focus on one at a time?

    @andy0 It couldn't hurt. You might be ready for the Zsolt Derzsi Plan to get your press up to 40. For doubles you could try Soju and Tuba. There's also the Outer Limits program by Joe D aka swingthiskettlebell, and even though I haven't tried it (yet) it looks very promising.

    Can single and double press be progressed together, or better to focus on one at a time?

    @andy0 I prefer single arm pressing, as I find my recovery is better. I also started getting a lot more shoulder pain from double pressing, but that's just me and my shitty mobility and weak shoulders. From personal experience, single arm pressing carried over to double. I increased my single...

    Weighted Dip / Chin Up Progression

    @inspiringmedia No real reason. I found that if I was stuck and wasn't progressing, I could add more sets to build volume that way, but usually 3 was just about right. Plus with warm up sets and other lifts it didn't take super long.

    Weighted Dip / Chin Up Progression

    @inspiringmedia I use step loading progression for these. Workout 1 = 3 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps WO 2 = 3, 3, 4 WO 3 = 3, 4, 4 WO 4 = 4, 4, 4 Then I repeat until 5, 5, 5. Then I go up in weight and drop back to 3, 3, 3. Depending on how I'm feeling, I might fail to get the extra rep that...

    C&P with long arms

    @kampell Will you have more difficulty compared to someone who has shorter arms and better levers for lifting? Yes. Can you do anything about it? Yes and no. You can't get better levers. You can get stronger though. I also say this as a 6'6" dude with +2" ape index. I thought I was too tall to...

    Combining kettlebell and heavy club training?

    @cavitill Ok, you can't drop this bomb on me and not share some more info. Is there any YouTube videos available with more info on Karlakattai (I realize you said there's limited content, but I'll take whatever is available).

    Press progress help

    @lwoods I found that a heavier single press PR made my double press go up significantly. Outer Limits protocol or the One bell program. More details from Joe here on Outer Limits

    How do y’all approach a deload week? I’m definitely gonna cut the weight by half but I’m not sure about the volume. Do I cut that I half too?

    @andrewjacksonjihad I don't lift, I do other active stuff like walk, jog, hike, or play volleyball. If I'm feeling really beat up I will do even less, maybe just go for walks and stretch.

    Combining kettlebell and heavy club training?

    @chou91 Not sure how much information you're going to get from the kb sub about clubs (I know there are people that do both) but it might be worth asking in the /r/clubbells sub as well. I think maybe move the clubbell to just 1 day a week to start, but add some swings at the start of all the...

    How to tell if I’m normal/strong/weak for my size

    @neptune21 "The day you started lifting is the day you became forever small, because you will never be as big as you want to be" - Dom Mazzetti. In the past, I've been bigger and stronger then I am now. I've been more shredded. I've been able to run a lot further and faster, too. But that's ok...

    Kettlebell Workout Confusion - Help Please

    @dallaskay How to gain muscle: workout with heavy weights and make your body adapt to heavier and heavier weights How to lose bodyfat: eat less food, make your body use bodyfat as fuel While it's possible to do both at the same time, I would avoid, as it's nearly impossible in practice. Both...

    Get-up partial reps to hand: is push important?

    @dassark Your assessment of the weight differences is correct. The SF video has a kb that's twice the weight of Mark's, and it's also a larger diameter since it's a cast iron. This means the center of mass is different than a smaller (weight and size) comp bell. His arm will no longer be...
