So Pet, please help me out here with this, since you are experienced with this.Hello,
@Kozushi
I am glad to see you back here !
I agree, C&P is kind of "safer" considering the surroundings. In terms of strength, this is impressive. I followed RoP with 24. In just a few sessions, I was able to do Timeless Simple day in day out.
A more "friendly" version which works well is to do 50 C&P per side, 3x per week (instead of heavy / medium / light day) to have the same training duration for each session, and also not getting "beatten up" but a high volume session.
Kind regards,
Pet'
I did 16 sets of 3, and 1 set of 2. I never went "all out". This is almost the contrary. I wanted it to be as smooth as possible, with nasal breathing only. I practiced very aerobically. That way, this is not taxing (even if it eventually is 150 presses a week, and RoP is 155). The goal was to find a smooth pace: not too slow, but not too fast, just smooth.Are you using ladders, or sets of 5 or are you just trying to get up to 50 in any way possible?
Well, because of quarantine I have no judo, no kendo, nothing. The kettlebell has again become my "dojo" in an ironic and cruel twist (as this used to be the name of my training log here when I first started!)Hello,
If you follow RoP, below is a link with the rep / set frame (post #590):

Guys, recently I rediscovered my passion for OAPU. Was wondering: would it distract from presses if I did OAPU 1x/week @5x2 or 3x3 (assuming my max is 4-5 reps). Like so: Mo: off Tue: RoP light Wed:OAPU + stretch/mobility Thu: off Fr: RoP medium Sat: stretch/mobility Sun: RoP heavy I think...www.strongfirst.com
This is not a "GPP" training program, contrary to S&S. This is a "peak program". Of course, there will be strength and conditioning gains, but they come to a very high price in terms of fatigue. If I remember well, you are quite advanced in Judo. IMO, you combining RoP "by the book" and 3 judo session a week is a lot, plus your job.
The weekly wave is something I do not like that much because it impairs proper recovery if you have other physical expenditures. Plus, in terms of schedule, this is harder to manage because some sessions are short, some other super long. It forces to have a well defined programming.

Ladders are very good to get a huge training volume in a fairly short amount of time. So, from this standpoint, multiple ladders can be hard to recover from.What do you think of doing ladders? Are they less effective for "peak" gyreviks?
I started watching that Norsemen show - very funny!I hope you feel better soon!
Yes, it’s the best! I usually don’t watch telly that much, but Norsemen seasons I’ve watched at least twice. I’m glad you like it.I started watching that Norsemen show - very funny!
