As I run 3.0 with a single 32kg I might try the same thing on Fridays and use the 36kg I think it could be a good twist.I just did week 3s lower volume Friday workout with a twist. Last week I did the day 3 workout with a heavier set of bells by accident. This week I did the same thing again but it wasn't an accident. I like this little twist, it adds to the challenge. I don't know if I'll do it the 1.1 but we'll see.
Many ways to do this program.
Real Muscle Building Fat Burner.....a clean and jerk program. It's a good one too!R
RMBFD?
Where can we get this?R
RMBFD?
It was available recently but I don't remember.....Where can we get this?
Geoff Neupert, of course.Where can we get this?
I just purchased it last year and haven’t got around to it yet, but I’m gonna change that in three weeks when I finish Strong.@Geoff Neupert is RMFB still available for sale?
Yes, if anyone is interested, PM me.It was available recently but I don't remember.....
Good work!I'll go ahead and jump into this thread with my recent experience.
I finished up the last 12 weeks of 2021 running The Giant 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 consecutively with double 24's. When I started 1.0, the double 24s were probably more along a 13RM as I had previously run @Geoff Neupert 's original "The Olympic" which was programmed for the 6-8RM range. However the last phase of that program sort of went a bit south due to work/family/life stress.
I ran all phases using the 20/25/30/25 minute timed sessions. I thought this setup was great. It allowed me to ease into each phase with only a 20 minute session that I could hit fairly hard knowing I didn't have to last too long. Since I knew I'd be gradually increasing my time, my goal was to maintain the pace for weeks 2 and 3, then my week 4 goal would be to just hit 1 more set than week 2. I didn't hit that goal on every day and every phase, but overall I did, and I feel like I made great progress. One extra data point I tracked was my "RPM" (reps per minute) just for fun. I was thrilled that I did, because on average this number continued to increase. For those data nerds like me, check it out:

When I tested my RM's after a few days off, I managed to hit 17 reps on the 24s, and 6 reps on the 32s!! Prior to my test day I had never even tried to C&P double 32's. To add to the chorus: this programming works!
I thought about doing that, but instead I started DFW just this morning as I wanted to re-implement programmed Front Squats. It's been a goal of mine to run DFW with 32's, so I was happy to hit the 6 reps.Good work!
3.0 for the 32s next?
Awesome review! Solid results for sure!I'll go ahead and jump into this thread with my recent experience.

could you please share the link with me? I would like to look into it !!!Yes, if anyone is interested, PM me.
I'd just send him a message/private conversation.....if you enjoy jerks/push presses you'll enjoy the RMFBcould you please share the link with me? I would like to look into it !!!
I’m liking the contrast between a C&P “grind” cycle (Giant) and a C&J “explode!” cycle (RMF). It’s a “same but different” movement pattern. Will be interested to see what this cycle of RMF does to my press RM (I have no specific hopes and dreams - just n=1 data).I'd just send him a message/private conversation.....if you enjoy jerks/push presses you'll enjoy the RMFB

Happy New Year John, I can't believe the Jets blew that game Sunday. Where was the safety coverage?Real Muscle Building Fat Burner.....a clean and jerk program. It's a good one too!
This is in the top 3 of my favorite programs in that book
How about when they went for it on fourth and two instead of kicking to go up seven, and then running a hopeless quarterback sneak needing two full yards.Happy New Year John, I can't believe the Jets blew that game Sunday. Where was the safety coverage?
