Hello All,
Wall of text incoming.
I have been training consistently with kettlebells since April. Now I'm at the point where some helpful advise would be much appreciated.
To summarize my journey so far, I spent 6 months going through a self-made program. Starting from simply getting a feel for the very basics of movement. My starting point was not very good, but in the end I had quite decent but basic set of moves in the mix (swing 2hd and alternating, C&P, TGU, front/goblet squat, snatch, bent over row and floor press).
Running a program like that every single week started to become a bit boring so I decided to try a ready made Double Kettlebell Precision program from Joe Daniels. I'm now on my second run of the program using 2x24kg bells.
Now to my actual questions, I have two points of concern: 1) a week or so rest period should be thrown in between programs (or so I've heard). Is there a guideline when it should be had, e.g. after heavy programs only, or after certain amount of training weeks have been reached regardless of how taxing the program?
2) This might be a bit program specific question. After finishing second run of Double Kettlebell Precision my plan is to introduce STKB Complexes 6 week program, KBOMG1(single) and KBOMG1(double).
I'm uncertain in which order should I run the programs and should I have a week of rest after Double Kettlebell Precision before continuing.
Current idea is to move directly to KBOMG1(single) as I have had two months of pure double bell work, have a week of rest (just walking/other low intensity training), do STKB Complexes 6 week program followed by KBOMG1(double), rest and then figure out what to do going forward.
I'm talking about specific programs, but the question is more about how to structure kettlebell training involving different modules and including proper recovery/rest periods.
