Kettlebell Kettlebell AXE - general discussion

@Pavel what are your thoughts on starting AXE w/2HSW sets of 4... ->6 but instead of recycling over w/heavier weight you go to 1HSW (obviously harder) & start the process 2-4-6/10-30 etc
 
Great book in my opinion, Pavel! I'm thinking to run it twice per week plus two days of push, pull & deadlift and one day of LISS cardio.
I just wonder why are the H2H and 1H swings preferred over the 2H swings.
Thank you for the book!

I do not have a heart, thus, no palpitations.

Without a doubt, my favorite @Pavel forum post of all time.

Everyone, now that you have the book, and now that many of you have read it and are starting to implement its programs, it's time to

Thank you, Jose Manuel.

Two days a week of DLs may be too much in addition to swing AXE; try once.

Understood, I'm already doing 5s OTM KBSF swing protocol w/the 40kg

I was just seeing how I could move up to 44kg & milk it longer

make sure to dig into the Underload Phase. Make sure you continue your step load till your RPE is falling clearly into the 6-7 range. I imagine that'll take a good amount of time.
 
In the book Pavel talks about AGT using wrestling dummy throws implemented by an SFG instructor who coaches the French National Wrestling team. Just out of interest has anyone here done anything similar? If so what kind of programming did you use to apply it to wrestling?

3letterslong, no matter what your goals are, always start with minimalism, then add according to your needs.

Generally speaking, when pursuing multiple goals, it is best to focus on 1-2 at a time and maintain the rest with easy once a week sessions. Then change the focus.

Sir, it is great to see you in the forum. May I ask if there a guidance or principle that you might share with us about how to decide on the length of the focus blocks? How can we decide how long we should focus to 1-2 goals and then change the focus? Let’s say are we talking about two week blocks? Are we talking about 6 week blocks? Are we talking about two separate blocks or can someone even have three different blocks?

A simplified short answer, if you have two goals, alternate the focus every 6 weeks, ~3 sessions per week for one and 1 for the other.
