Just finished up Phase 1 of Strong.
I'm doing double clean and press with 2 x 24 kg bells. I started phase 1 just being able to get 5 reps. After 8 weeks I got 9 reps with good form. I put on a kilo in weight which wasn't intentional but it seems to be mostly on my arms and shoulders.
Up till now I've been adding a couple of front squats onto the end of each set. I'm going to drop that for Phase 2 so I can focus better on recovery.
It's a great programme so far. Very simple programming but like all of Geoff's programmes I have tried the progressions and instructions on starting weight are perfect.
