Hello StrongFirst community,
On page 109 of easy strength, the 2nd principle of “three ladders and three rungs” is discussed by Dan John. The specific example Dan used is Pavel’s ETK ROP program and mentions that 3 ladders and 3 rungs are what he found best to work the slow grinding movements for kettlebells, including presses. Has anyone used this “easy strength” variation for ROP, and if so, how much success did you have? I can see how the Light/Medium/Heavy days would change but I’m wondering if the volume might to too low. If not, do you believe working up to the 5 ladders 5 rungs per original ROP program would be best?
Thank you in advance.
