    Running the Giant program- C+P or push press/jerk?

    I'd like to ask a question for those with a lot more experience/educational background than myself. I've been running the Giant 1.0 and finished up recently, about to start up 1.1 now, but I've noticed the programs creator Geoff Neupert said he made the program a C+P program because americans...

    Clean&Press vs DC&J

    What would bring the best returns, heavy double clean and presses or heavy double clean and jerk? I haven’t messed around with the jerk yet, but people say it might be the king too building muscle and strength from kettlebells.. Thoughts?

    Post-Corona building back up - sanity check... (long-ish backstory)

    Hello comrades, hopefully a quick sanity check is alright here. I believe I had messed up my shoulder when progressing to 24 KG too fast, then had to move house and was down with corona, so a good three weeks "off", which recovered my shoulder. A couple of bags of compost for the garden (50...

    Double c&p vs c&j

    What is the general consensus on which is better for strength and hypertrophy. More specifically does the higher volume with the jerks carry more benefit than the higher tension with the lighter press. Example: double clean and press with 16’s vs double clean and jerks with 20’s or 24’s.

    Where to go now?

    So I just finished a 4wk Geoff Neupert kettlebell thing. My review is mixed. I didn’t see any weight loss but am able to lift more. I started with two 35# KBs and quickly moved to 44s. This was as far as I could go with matching doubles. From there I had to use a 44 in one hand and a 53 in...

    Any hollow comp bell recs outside of Bells of Steel and KB Kings? Any Kettlebell USA owners?

    I moved up to 24kg a minute ago on my never ending DFW routine. Currently using a KB King comp bell and one of their adjustable bells. Long story short, it isn’t working out. The balance in the adjustable isn’t right and you can really feel the weights clang around. The combo of hollow bell...

    Loaded Standing Back Extension - makes sense or insane?

    Similar to this but with a KB held at my chest which rests on my chest as I extend my back backwards. Can this be used as a substitute for Roman chair hyper-extensions? I tried it with 50 lbs today, felt pretty good - at this weight it was neither difficult nor challenging (the stress) felt...
