Sir, appreciate your answer and for sure I will take the course. Thanks and best regards. EgeThank you, Ege.
I suggest that you attend our Programming Demystified seminar online (live attendance sports have sold out).
PROGRAMMING DEMYSTIFIED | StrongFirst
In-Person and Online Seminar with PAVEL Tsatsouline, FABIO Zonin, HECTOR Gutierrez Jr. Get ready for heavy learning. You will leave Programming Demystified with an arsenal of plug-and-play strength and muscle hypertrophy plans, barbell and kettlebell—some classic, others radical, all proven.

A simplified short answer, if you have two goals, alternate the focus every 6 weeks, ~3 sessions per week for one and 1 for the other.
Hot chips, go for it. Especially hill sprints. An 80% effort, stop when you are no longer accelerating.
Over the summer I had my daughter doing OTM A&A Jump Squats twice a week and Push Ups twice a week to get her ready for Field Hockey and it worked very well. She isn't the biggest athlete on the field, but the extra strength and explosive ability has helped her to be able to withstand contact from the taller and larger girls and be able to break away and out sprint them when needed.The general takeaway here seems to be to understand the principle of explosive effort and adequate recovery regulated by not letting velocity fall too much, and then apply it to whatever explosive movement you can.
I can see huge potential in taking this principles based approach to sprints for example. Maybe even swimming! Cycling etc. Not just kettlebells. Much better than the suicides and shuttle run I did to exhaustion (could barely walk due to lactic buildup) as a young soccer athlete. Or the burnout "warmups" we have all done in martial arts classes.
Love this idea. I've been trying to think of a fun way to get my 7 yo daughter doing some PT since her P. E. class is skimping on the Physical. I think she'll take to OTM jump squats once or twice a week once I get her comfortable doing body weight squats. Thank you.Over the summer I had my daughter doing OTM A&A Jump Squats twice a week and Push Ups twice a week to get her ready for Field Hockey and it worked very well.

My take on Novocaine is gonna be built around AXE 2x/week as prescribed with pressing work with getups and military presses (the latter per iron cardio).AXE plugs right into base session 6 for the OG Novocaine template.
Pavel mentioned, a few responses up, that sprints should end when accelerations ends.How long should a set last if one is sprinting or cycling--until one of the 5 stop signs is reached vs a numerical option?
No problem. Just have to make sure that the surface you are using is not too hard. I used a regular grass field instead of the turf she usually plays on.Love this idea.

Cochran, definitely not Q&D, as it demands max power and cadence and therefore plenty of recent practice with the chosen exercises.Question for @Pavel - I took a break from kettlebells this summer to focus on bodyweight movements. I’ve had experience with both Q&D and A+A in the past – which should I focus on first upon getting back into the weights?
Antti, it is unlikely AXE will improve your lifts if you are doing serious PL training. It is likely to help you stay healthy though.Great to see responses from @Pavel .
How would the book and the programming suit the enthusiastic/competitive powerlifter? There's only so many days in a week, and so many rabbits to chase. But if it improves performance...
Guardian7, when you read the book, you will discover that one of the earliest successful experiments was done with swimmers.The general takeaway here seems to be to understand the principle of explosive effort and adequate recovery regulated by not letting velocity fall too much, and then apply it to whatever explosive movement you can.

Claude, both programs are AXE (note the broad definition in the book); the differences will mostly due the different exercises.- how does the presented AXE program compare to the SF C&J program linked before (I have the course). What would each one enable one to do or rather how to choose between them purely for GPP/health?
Many ways to do it, e.g., the GU part S&S, or of Kettlebells StrongFirst.- I have previously reached and maintained S&S timed simple for swings but not for getups… how would I best add getups to this if my gosl is to reach timed simple with the 32 (I am solid with the 24kg but the 32 is rather elusive… weight is 68kg)
