Hi All,
I finished reading the S&S and ETK books, several other SF articles and watched YouTube videos on form etc to learn the swing and TGU. I want to start the S&S program and was wondering if I could learn from the experience of others who started training with kettlebells without a coach.
1. I am currently doing a calisthenics program 3-days a week (which will become 4-days in some time). I was considering starting the practice drills (from the S&S book) on my rest days. Question for people who started from absolute scratch - did you start with the deadlifts, then progress to the hike pass, then progress to the swings etc? How do you know which drills to do and how many reps/sets?
2. Did you start from the recommended KB weight? As an average gentleman, I am supposed to begin with the 16KG, but that seems a little intimidating.
3. I am curious why there is no 20KG weight mentioned anywhere in the program, and why the jump from 16 KG to 24 KG.
Apologies if those are too many questions and if this is not the right sub-forum.
