Sorry, the presses are not part of 1.0, it's going back to the 24kg weight in a kind of "cycling" way like they do with the heavy weights that is from 2.0.

Ah, okay. Well I’m doing more of a Program Minimum anyway. At some point might condense the movements back together, but now swings and get-ups on separate days.
Kozushi

I never really understood what the Program Minimum is.

Me neither. The progression was never well explained, but that really was a break in program for ROP. I just do the movements on separate days and go by feel.

Ah okay, so it's basically do some swings and getups, generally speaking with the 24, right?

I do swings with the 25 kg, 31 kg and 40 kg bells at the moment. Get-ups with the 25 kg and 31 kg bells.

I still have every intention of getting my SFG I and eventually SFG II. I was planning on this before COVID hit. A shoulder injury was keeping me away from my SFG goal for a few years but it's fully healed now.
I really want to be an official Strong First representative. I think good stuff in life needs support and we need to put our money where our mouths are. Being actively involved is really living. Being strong really matters. It's one of the very few things in life that you have complete control over yourself that can make you enormously happier and healthier.

If I had any interest in teaching, then I would totally do it too!
I don't know if you looked at the numbers, but after the original investment it's pretty cheap to maintain. You have to pay lump sums, but I prefer to think about things in terms of value per unit of time.
Assuming that when your SFG 1 was about to expire (after 2 years) you went for your SFG 2, then it breaks down to about $66.50 a month for the first 2 years of Certification as a SFG 1 ($1595/24), $54 a month for the next 2 years as a SFG 2 ($1295/24), and then $14.54-20.83 a month to maintain it after that ($349 for the online certification and $500 to re-attend a certification weekend).
It's reasonable enough that I may do it some day for the camaraderie! [Assuming that I get to the point where I could pass the requirements].

Yes, I'd fail right now. I'm not trying it until I'm sure I can pass... this might not actually ever happen. We'll see!
Kozushi

Good point though. Maybe it's better just to be an enthusiastic student and to leave the serious stuff to the professionals. I'm just an amateur.

I've always thought that you have a charismatic vibe when you write about exercise. Even if you didn't want to end up training people, I could see you writing articles.
But you're right, if you don't use it for anything, then it would have to be worth it to you for the community interaction and personal enrichment benefits.

I'm wondering if I've found a kind of "sweet spot" tweak for S&S for myself for _most_ days. This is where I do the goblet squats and 100 swings with the 24, then do another 40 swings with the 32 and the TGUs also with the 32.
Of course I still do the full routine with the 32 as often as possible, but my light days seem to be turning out as above.

I finished the Norseman series yesterday. Hilarious!
I guess they tied themselves in a knot though as regarding plot, since they killed off nearly everyone (including Froya!) at the end of season 2, and season 3 tells the story leading up to season 1. I guess there is nothing left to tell, which is too bad! I heard the series is finished!
Is it filmed uniquely in English, or do they film it in other languages (I would have thought at least in Norwegian) too?
Jarl Bjorn is a Canadian actor, and I could see how they were making some jokes related to his role in Vikings. In Norsemen he meets a much happier fate than in Vikings - lucky man this time! Hahaha!

I’m glad you liked the series. It’s one of my all time favourites. I think it was only filmed in English.I finished the Norseman series yesterday. Hilarious!

Doing S&S when I feel it (most days) with the 24kg bell is literally transforming my (exercise) life! It's "easy" to do, fun, no stress, but is clearly making me STRONGER! I LOVE IT! If we see training with the 32 as a big step and with the 24 as a small step, in between the big steps I'm taking small steps, but they all add up and I'm moving along a LOT faster than I used to!
I also feel that this much expanded volume of training is improving my proprioception for the art of the kettlebell and I think I'll be able to pass the snatch test eventually for SFG I.
