@jesusrules1978 Throw in some pull ups and push ups if you want to stick to S&S. S&S gets ragged on a bit around here for not hitting a lot of muscle groups.

@ivymeow Usually in a periodization method you just test less frequently, a new rep max for a given weight for example, or in a set amount of time.

@jesusrules1978 You should add

@whitney5388 Probably? It's just a simple low rep scheme. I would probably want longer sets on dips or rows. You could do 10x5 (or some similar rep scheme) and probably get a similar result.

@dixieriderxx I just started phase two but sets of twelve suck lol. Really makes those snatch sets in GS competitions look extra insane. Hurts my hands more than my lungs though.

@dixieriderxx Fair yeah, you can alternate two ladders or double up in one ladder. Same result - I think the only difference is that a snatch rep is hand agnostic. One on the right and one on the left is two reps.

@anojinzouningen Fundamentally, Giant is prescribing something like 50-100 reps of your 10 rep max, 3 times a week, which is not dissimilar to any hypertrophy program except the focus on one movement. Right now I’m running Giant and Kingsized Killer together in ABA / BAB fashion which has...

@dixieriderxx Hey - I'm doing this now too. Just started this week. It's sort of odd that he specifies hand switches in KSK 2 but not at all in 1. Then you get to 1.3 and 2.0 that look basically the same with different rep schemes except 1.3 a set is 9 reps vs. 2.0 where a "set" is 9x2 reps...

@rtellard Thank you fakespotbot

@cristina49 That's more or less where I ended up when I couldn't get a work out in. I did have a couple 3 rounds one day and 2 on the off day.

@cristina49 I'm definitely interested. Considering something home brew like press/row, squat/pull, snatch.

@alittlebird To get the 10k in you need to do 500 every weekday for 4 weeks. OP had some catch up so likely did some weekends as well.

@hunter101 Fair yeah, I think it depends on your goals. Like on the snatch, or if I were training for competition, the reps themselves are the goal, but given limited time it could be more beneficial to do 10 sets of C+P and 10 sets of front squats (or 10 sets of pullups) vs. 20 sets of C+P...

What is Giantkiller? It's a combination of two programs, The Giant (a press program) and King Sized Killer (a snatch program). For this block I did Giant 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and KSK 1.0 Phases 1-3. Both programs are from Geoff Neupert and can be purchased here...

@newlightseven Nice! I did 10k January as well.
