@yangum My wife had no problem doing cleans and push presses with a 10 and 12kg dumbbell after going to the gym together on and off for a month. She was probably only 54kg at the time. I don’t think she could press the 16kg now though. I’m trying to get her back on it. Last week she had no...

@salvia123 The only thing I would be concerned about is how long the workouts take. Adding 50-100 swings at the beginning or end of a session is more than manageable. Consistently doing 300-400 swings sounds like a chore. I’d think about what your fitness goals are and maybe not be afraid to put...

@yangum Doing grease the groove works well with all of the calisthenics you plan to do. It just depends on your situation. For me, I usually get the same number of sets doing grease the groove as I do in a 30-45 minute workout. It does shine with exercises where a solid 5-10 minutes of recovery...

@whitney5388 Glad to hear it. It goes both ways. I mentioned it to you, then had the chance to add in some arm work at the end of my gym sessions. Decided to just to the EDT since it was fresh in my mind.

@johnnyboy1998 If you don’t eat for size, you won’t put on a lot of size. Both are nice things to work on. Personally, I rarely grind reps on pull-ups and overhead press because if I want to move with snap, I should train with snap. Same goes with my weighted pull-ups. I’m up to 35kg for a...

@stringplayer Yes

@applekrate Great work.

@whitney5388 escalated density training basically, pick two opposing exercises and go HAM for 15 minutes. Don’t worry if you’re doing less reps by the end, and try to beat your workout each session. The article explains it in more detail, and talks about when to progress. Those 15 minute...

@dwatson659 Those podcasts are what I’m really getting into. I’ve read a few of his articles before, but the amount of great information he’s putting out there is just awesome.

@marthaschramm Thanks for the write up and congratulations. Ditto on the morning routine. Since my daughter was born the evening is really the only time I have with her so it’s nice getting a workout in before her and my wife wake up in the morning.

@whitney5388 I used to do “EDT” sets for dips and chins. I’d just set a timer for 10-15 minutes at the end of my workout and go HAM until the timer buzzed. Now, I like Neupert’s philosophy of not even slowing down my reps if possible. So, 20-30 minutes seems about right. Don’t be afraid to up...

@giddyg I’m anal enough to strongly prefer a matched set. I dunno about you. You can always gift the old one to someone. My buddy who started with 2 reps on the press at 16kg just bought a 32. I didn’t even have to goad him into it. Or try and sell it.

@charliehcf It’s strange, because when I was reading through the quick and the dead it said to use your weaker arm first, and to give it extra sets depending on your roll. The rest periods are slightly different from S&S though. The quick and the dead also alternates between push-ups and swings...

@dixieriderxx I’ve only done phase 1 with doubles. My guess is that you need to start jogging or cycling. Sets of 15 snatches isn’t bad at all IMO, but I guess if you have no cardio base it could suck.

@holiness4 I’d consider Right of Passage or the Dry Fighting Weight Remix. First, you should really consider a press program. Second, they both have progressions built into them. Lastly, it’s nice to finish a few programs. You’ll learn those progressions which will help you to write your own...

@7seals Try some double bell complexes. The basic would be the ABC. Neupert has some brutal ones and I’ve seen a few clips from Swing This Kettlebell Club that look brutal as well.

@mydavesat Every Minute On the Minute. It’s usually used for HIIT or circuit training. In this case, you can use it significantly increase your volume.

I think many of us have talked about one of Dan John’s programs or read about them on this sub. He’s always put out great content. Personally, I’ve been thinking of when to start to 10,000 swing challenge and wanted to do a little digging on YouTube. I came across his YouTube channel and really...

@seekingadvice24 I train for 20-40 minutes most mornings. I’m also able to bike to work, so I can squeeze in an hour of light cardio most days. You can get a lot done in 20 minutes or you could get almost nothing done. Everyone’s advice to pick a program you like and stick to it is sound. If...

@mir2017lma That’s awesome! A bunch of folks on the subs seem like they are in the middle of The Giant with 2x32. I feel so left out! Taking a stab at it with 40s would be impressive AF. Would you spring for 36s, or just try to make the 8kg jumps?
