I run the program last fall, while in RoP and using a 40 kg bell, a weight I've never used before that. I just had just reached Simple a couple of weeks before, but I had the swing portion down since I'd say a month and half, at the time.
I modified the program a little, though, and did sets of five instead of ten. I did 10 get ups per side with the 32 kg bell on the minute (in S&S, I was doing them without or with minimal rest), because I wanted to retain the Simple standard for the move. I did the get ups in the days I hadn't to press as for the Rite of Passage.
If you reached Simple, than 32 kg get ups taking it a little easier than what you were acostumed to should be fine, or do what
@Lee Hunt said and vary the loads, definitely not the volume.
The program delivers, and swinging in stes of five brought me to very good levels of swings with the 40 kg kettlebell in just six weeks (I can now swing in sets of ten and I'm reducing the rest periods). Also, I had the pleasure of swinging the beast last saturday, and it went up in double hands and single arm (both sides) pretty smooth, so much that I was actually surprised... But, hey, it's Al
@aciampa, right?
Keep in mind that, although your concerne is rightly about the get ups, this seems to really be a swing focused routine. The best advice I can give you is put a lot of time in knowing what kettlebell you will use. I'm sure you read the article carefully, and you saw that Mr. Ciampa stresses this very much. You're going to swing for an insane amount of time in the last two weeks (particularly the closing one), and sets of 10 can get you off guard later in the session, even if you thought you had the weight matter down.
Train strong, and cheers from Italy!
