This is so confusing to me. I have read many books by Pavel and I love how he makes things simple and effective for people, but I just cant seem to get the GS in S&S.
I read the part in the book (once again) and the GS seems to make perfect sense as a warm up. He describes how you should stay at the bottom, relax and find space etc. Nothing really indicates that you should use a whole lot of strenght and energy during this. Lovely!
But then it gets confusing to me. - > "Do 3x5 reps, resting between them if necessary". And if I add all together and match the weight to my swings and do the curls, this would take me quite a while and I would be pretty much done after those to be honest. Btw, if it makes any difference, Im 189cm tall with long legs, so maybe squat is relatively harder for me. ( I do swings & get ups with 26kg and 32kg )
Part of me wants to just do roughly 2x3 light GS`s with prying and curling on every rep and I feel I should be warmed up for swings. Especially as Im doing S&S almost daily and I have always been fairly mobile. I dont really feel like Im getting much warmer or mobile after the first set of warmups.
However, thats not by the book and Im trying to do everthing I can not to do things "my way".
But Pavel also mentions that "The above regimen is meant to bring a moderately tight but healthy person up to speed"... So, could I maybe cut a corner here... ?
Maybe its best to just try and find what works the best for me. I just dont want to do anything stupid. And I can see from yours and other training logs, that people really seem to do swing weight goblet squats 3x5 as a warmup. That makes me feel like Im missing some leg strenght or something if I only do a few light ones.
Sorry for a lot of random thoughts. As I said, confused.
