@saved_by_grace82 No you didn't

@hunter101 And also the mindset that a workout doesn't have to be hard, especially when done daily

@pamelakbd I can imagine that, however, using it as a challenge discards a lot of useful information that is in the book and was for me a very valuable read even though I never followed the program, not even loosely.

@jesusrules1978 S&S is not really a "challenge", but a program. Have you read the book? I use(d) S&S as inspiration, but it currently acts as warm up and core of my home workouts, then after the TGUs I continue with other exercises that I select based on my mood at that moment.

This is also a nice beginner rings video

@leovvv I would do both, especially if you have kettlebells sitting idle at your disposal. You haven't mentioned your exact weight, but there are plenty of options you can train to work a real pullup. I like gymnast rings with adjustable straps as addition to kettlebells. For pullup training...

@confused741 To be clear, that's just 2 swings plus another movement and then EMOM? Or 2 sets of swings?

@ant0099 And maybe undersleeping?

@brownie Other lower body strengthening exercises like lunges and Bulgarian split squats. Partials/holds: descending front squats, actively hold at the bottom for a while and then drop the KBs

@brownie I wonder how would you execute zone 2 training using kettlebells? Long farmer walks or swings with 6 kg kettlebells? Weekly pecifically targeted zone 5 training sounds horrible by the way, what is that about? And have you gotten your zones measured in a lab or otherwise? Note that HR...

@layla Bring your adjustable KB and get a set of rings with adjustable straps and your new minimal gym is done.

@theheretic If you're already that good with rowing and skierg and your 90 kg bodyweight is at relatively low fat, it seems you're in very good shape and you'll be able to handle a heavy KB to start with. I disagree with the other commenter: 24 kg is too light for deadlifts and I also think with...

@cavitill To me it appears unbalanced: a 130 kg deadlift is much "easier" than a 100 kg bench press, or am I missing something? If you can bench 100 but deadlift 130, you skipped a lot of leg days.

@mr_loevinger Rings are cheap, make sure you but then with easily adaptable straps

@mr_loevinger Currently I always start with an extended warm up, then S&S and then I add other exercises to taste. This makes the routine entertaining and low threshold, because on the off days, I'll just do the minimum and be happy with it. On better days I can add a lot of exercises and I can...

@missingthemark Sounds like a plan.

@kidspray2 Depending on your personal heart rate zones which are highly personal this could be all zone 2 or zone 3. You'd have to know your zones to know for sure. But if you're a middle aged 30-40 yo average man, this is probably already too much to be considered a "light workout". A light...

@tutrinhatpro Your KB weights are too low and there's no need to be so precise with fixed rest times: it's ok to start your next set when you feel like doing so. I've read the Simple & Sinister book, it's a very easy read and I found it very insightful. Heart rates are very personal and...
