    1 x or 2 x adjustable kettlebells?

    For those of you that have adjustable kettlebells, do you find that 1 is sufficient? Looks like one single 12-20.5 kg from bells of steel is $200. 12-32 kg $300. Getting a pair of adjustable kettlebells is getting really pricey. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance

What would be a good snatch progression...

    Q about using rep x weight to track progress- how to apply this math to complex movements

    As a rough way to measure my progress and grade workouts, I’ve been taking my workout log and adding up the number of movements I do and times it by the amount weight used. The math is simple with single movements, eg if I do 10 swings with 16kg = 160 kg of work per set. Most of my workouts...

    Only S&S?

    Simple DFW program questions

    I read through the DFW program, but I would like clarification on a few things. Day 1 is ladder 1, 2, 3. Does that mean I do one clean, press, squat, and then take a break? Then, I do another CPS backed by another CPS from a long cycle clean. Or are they dead cleans? Also, is it C,C P,P S,S...
