Looks solid to me—keep us postedStarting this next week as a 7 week program alongside some running as train for a trail half marathon.
Planning on doing 3 sessions weekly, 2 single KB ones and 1 doubles one.
Will do the singles with snatches (C, P, Sq, Sn) and double with weighted pull-up (C, P, Sq, Pu).
Probably single KB of 24kg, and doubles of 20kg as trialled it this week and anything heavier was a bit much I think.
All will be 30 mins long unless get suggestions otherwise.
Will finish each session with 10 mins of swings.
Got another 20-minute session today.Got a quick 20 minute session in today.
Good feeling all around.
32kg, got 24 sets in 20 minutes with interruptions included.
Good loading.
Good breathing.
But I have to find somewhere else to do it, because my coworkers find it distracting
Yes the session length, volume and density can all be varied.Do people do shorter or longer sessions (apologies I don't have the book/program)?
Was thinking of making the double KB session a lighter and longer one - 2 x 20kg and maybe 40 mins.
Great observation on the 10 set splits...a useful metric to track.Got another 20-minute session today.

Note to self: rest more in the beginning.
The first 10-set split was at 5 minutes.
10 set splits after that started stretching out big time after that.
I am experiencing - what I would describe as tingles (in my legs and feet) - which I would describe as resembling sensations I would associate with running for an extended distance(which I have not done for years).

The first few times I did the IC protocol after reading the book, I set a timer. Did a few sessions on the minute, a few on the 45, and a few on the 30. Just to have a feel of what that pace actually was once I had accumulated some sets.On that note: today's session didn't pan out for taking it easy early on.
Today's session was 50 sets in 40 minutes.
10 set splits were during minutes: 7, 17, 25, 32, 40
I was hoping for a higher overall density than 32 sets in 20 minutes.
I didn't get it.
Next session I will not hold back early on.
didn't seem to benefit me one way or the other.
"... go with the flow ..."
I was just thinking of a daily scheme.Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about running IC, but have a question about frequency. I thrive off of a daily routine, while still incorporating a bit of variety here and there. If IC can be done 3x/week with sessions ranging 20-40 minutes, would it be reasonable for me to shoot for near-daily frequency, but sessions of only 10-15 minutes?
I currently alternate IC with snatch practice and Zone 2 training but I have done IC five days a week albeit with 20 and 24kg bells which are light compared to what Brett Jones is moving. In my view, IC is a perfect template for high frequency training with the many variables that can be applied. 20-30 minutes a day is doable with the appropriate weight.Hello everyone,

In the new year I upped my frequency focusing on 30 set sessions (which typically end up in the ballpark of 15-25 min depending on the version used) and it has been going well.Hello everyone,

Start with easier versions and see how it goes.
What snatch practice?I currently alternate IC with snatch practice and Zone 2 training but I have done IC five days a week albeit with 20 and 24kg bells which are light compared to what Brett Jones is moving.
