Whats the best way to go about mixing the 2 programs? I can usually make it to the gym for barbell work twice a week and have all my kettlebells at home. Doing just S&S gets boring.
That is interesting. That way you listen to your body and you always have enough recovery.I go by feel
Would not it be a lot of training : 1 or2 training sessions of BJJ + 1 or 2 of S&S + 1 or 2 of PTTP ?eventually train BJJ again
Can I ask what your PTTP warm up looks like? I know the book advocates no warm up but I think a couple warm up sets wouldnt hurt considering im only doing it 2 days a weekI am currently doing 3-4 days a week of S&S, and PTTP 2-3 days a week with good progress. I go by feel. I go heavy when I feel good, and lighter when I need it. Don't think or stress about it, but just try what works for you and see how it goes.
I do extra back work because I place a high value on it, and I cannot help but modify a great program.
If you're looking for sympathy, you've come to the wrong place.Doing just S&S gets boring.
BJJ is on the back burner until I can make the scheduled classes regularly . right now its not possible with work and my kids schedules.Hello,

When I played boxing, I had 2 boxing sessions a week, and I added 2 (max 3 if I felt good) GPP.
Kind regards,

Ah ok, my bad ! So forget what I previously said !BJJ is on the back burner until I can make the scheduled classes regularly . right now its not possible with work and my kids schedules.
I got bored of just doing S&S
S&S is a meditation
Right now my goals are to lose fat and feel good every day, eventually train BJJ again.
Im 5' 10" and quite overweight at 300lbs. I did S&S for 3 months and really only just started to work with the 24kg bell more often. I feel like im on the lower end of recovery but could be the extra weight I carry. I lost 15lbs on my 3 months of S&S.
I got bored of just doing S&S and thought maybe I would go back to the barbell. Im doing 531 but at this point Im feeling like its taking more than its giving.
If I could mix the 2 to keep things interesting for me without killing myself that would keep me going in the right direction.
