@y0ung1996 You can pass your hand through the window of one and let it rest on your wrist while gripping the other. You can also grip two handles together, which is my favorite method since it puts a crazy load on your grip too. But if you want to make something awesome, pick up some pipe and go...

@cysterinchrist For most of his clients he said it’s either brisk walking or light rucking. He also talks about running reverse linear periodization to build to that volume, like starting with shorter sessions of heavy carries and slowly reducing load and increasing duration.

@cysterinchrist Josh Bryant has talked about a 2 hr/week threshold of LISS for strength athletes. Going over that could lead to decreases in performance, but up to that level should be perfectly fine. Building to that level should also be done slowly. It might be easy to start with 15’ 4x/week...

@hcwewvcw02 I sent you a chat. I’ll help any way I can.

@hcwewvcw02 This sounds like an interesting challenge. It’s definitely possible, and I would love to help you out along the way if you want. I bet we can get you there.

@jim_68 Awesome work dude, looking good!

@steveng I have 28/36/44/48kg bells from KBUSA. They are all fantastic quality and I’m very happy with them.

@beeschmidt He is a high level CrossFit athlete. I believe he owns or is head coach of his gym (CrossFit Strong House) so he likely does his own programming with his team. He has a bit more kettlebell work than you might see with other crossfitters, but if you scroll through his instagram you’ll...

@ngie I’ll give it a shot, thanks. And you should do a light pentathlon just to play with it! It’s surprisingly fun.

@ngie • ⁠What are you working on right now? Pentathlons…lots of pentathlons. • ⁠What’s going well? Volume is increasing every week and feels great! • ⁠What challenges are you running into? Issues with external rotation of my shoulders. I’ve tried damn near everything over the past few...

@hannahmarie313 You can definitely improve press with c&p, but if you can already press greater than 10 reps then sets of 5 or less aren’t particularly stimulating.

@josephhayes One arm

@hannahmarie313 I would probably be happy with the snatch and pullup improvement, I would not be happy with the OHP improvement (especially with the ~5kg weight gain).

@professor Strength doesn’t scale linearly with bodyweight, but I think a general rule of thumb is 1/2 bodyweight press is pretty strong.

@sharita3737 Thanks for putting all of this together, it’s great to see everyone jumping in!

@josephhayes Most of them were from jiu jitsu, so definitely tomfoolery.

@gina7arth I was able to solve this problem by completely shitwrecking my knee multiple times. Now my squats are just as weak as my press 😎

@doulos74 Thanks brother!

@dboruff11 Correct, no rest days. The sub maximal work days still allow for recovery between max effort days. I can also add in one rest day to the microcycle, but I usually use that as a modification when cumulative fatigue begins to build after a few weeks.

@doulos74 I’m built like a very average person. A lot of strength can be built without hypertrophy. Aleksandr Khvostov can snatch the 48kg 50 times, and he’s a little guy!
