Hello all,
I have been working on the ROP for two years and have had my form checked by multiple SFGs. I am generally just training for fun. I have a 32kg and 40kg kettlebell so as per advice on this form, I am adding the 40kg one rung at a time. I am currently using the 40kg for the first three rungs and the 32kg for the fourth and fifth rung. I am starting to notice soreness in my elbow joints and that I am no longer finishing my training with "gas in the tank." These seem to be warning signs to back off.
Since longevity is one of my main goals, I am considering shifting my focus to S&S (using the 48kg, crawls and carries on variety days) either temporarily or indefinitely. Another option would be to back off weight with the ROP and continue progressing from there. Any thoughts or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
