I started a thread on the barbell forum about exercise selection for a 3x week Easy Strength program.
Easy Strength Exercise Selection
One of the posters made a comment about how it is more productive or practical for non athletes to maintain the squat but develop the hinge. That made me wonder if a double Kettlebell program would be perfect for Easy Strength.
The ES I have in mind is described in the book as 2 or 3 big bang exercises 2 or 3 times per week, around 10 reps per exercise focusing on doubles and triples, sometimes doing 5’s. Since Kettlebell swings or cleans have a shorter time under tension would this work for the ES program? Cleans, presses and pullups would just about fill the bill. Include a form of squat during warmup.
