@MikeTheBear- That is how I am working S&S in but with a 3 sets of 5 version of strong lifts. Trying to progress slowly on both instead of killing my self on one or the other.
Regarding your 200 snatches with the 24kg in 10 minutes, is this something that you achieve and then maintain, or do you achieve it and move onto something else?
Yes, I am aiming to do exactly the same thing, as directed to do by the experts on this forum. I wish this were written up in the S&S book though, because I didn't understand why there are two apparently competing kettlebell programmes in Strongfirst. I get it now, but only after a few weeks of confusion.From my understanding it's something to achieve and then moving on to other programming. I'm considering after achieving the Rite of Passage standards going back into Simple and Sinister and aiming for Sinister.
The Strongfirst full plan is: S&S to Simple (32kg) then ROP to passing the snatch and press test, then back to S&S until Sinister, and I guess you basically maintain Sinister after that, if you can in fact get to Sinister.
When you did S&S alongside 5/3/1 did you use the S&S exercises as the assistance work? How did S&S affect your lifts? Would be cool to know.
Another QQ about your method, @LoneRider, when you're working in your 1H swings, LH, LH, TH, TH, TH, RH, RH, TH, TH, TH, do you switch "on the fly" a la a hand to hand swing, or do you park the bell for a second to make the switch?
