That last point strikes a chord with me.They are. You could think of it as a hybrid between the 2 (or to some extent like AGT S&S). The part that comes after swings/TGU is of course not related to S&S at all (I guess it comes straight out of Strong Endurance).
The programming is concise and clear, but contains enough work for a long time (the SF WOD I guess).
The video production is good, the video content is very well presented.
Overall it’s a very solid offering for people who have no real idea how to train, it brings you through potentially a lifetime of training, entirely based on SF principles and its most succesful ideas
the key here is the “no real idea bit”. Pavel / SF veterans will probably know most of what is presented and be used to the programming (there are no surprises), but I think that is why it is marketed where it is rather than here
I think you would find Marcelo Garcia to be QUITE strong. Strength training with Strongfirst principles is a great supplement but grappling as a lifestyle is gonna make you incredibly strong.Can confirm they are excellent BUT... a lot of BJJ people don't actually like strength training, though and often say "because Marcelo Garcia didn't lift weights, neither should they".
Who said anything about off days?I got my first session in. Feels great and gives a got sweat. But what do you recommend on off days? My Bjj gym is closed due to covid 19... Any replacement plz

Sort of goes back to the old 1% pro versus 99% amateur divide. Amateurs are really where it's at, and I sure think a lot of them could use a strength boost, haha!I think you would find Marcelo Garcia to be QUITE strong.

Clearly, as Mark Rippetoe (I think?) says "world champions are strong".I think you would find Marcelo Garcia to be QUITE strong. Strength training with Strongfirst principles is a great supplement but grappling as a lifestyle is gonna make you incredibly strong.
I looked at the program and there are no typos.Unless I’m reading it wrong, there are typos in the programming PDF. The total reps stated should actually be the per-arm totals (?)

it was more of a clarification scenario than a typo.

Yes, the numbers as stated as “sum of both arms” is really the per-arm total.I agree!
Sorry to disagree... (not on RM obviously)Friends-
When you see 6-12 RM, that's your working KB weight. This is the load, not reps. Follow the reps as written.
Sorry for any confusion!!
I think I got a pair of the last batch of SF-branded 5.11 Tactical pants sold in the site. I'm definitely looking into these, since I can't get them anymore (and I got fat).So that's what they are! I've been wondering ever since I got my ETK book.
I've been using prAna Zion pants for the last couple of years.
Funny thing, I also teach basic handgun, and for one student we used some of the same principles with kettlebell training. Essentially we were working on pistol qual and S&S.In my own case, my kettlebelling is to complement my martial arts in a very different way. I don't think martial arts is enough exercise, nor is it healthily balanced exercise. Martial arts training is for winning at martial arts and not for a strong physique, nor good posture. A way to understand this is to consider that shooting a rifle is a martial art, but where is the exercise?
