a+a

My main dish is currently KBSF (inspired by @don fannucci), so lots of LCCJ, 2x per week. Due to some schedule restraints, I have decided to try Even Easier Strength (4x per week) alongside it, mostly to keep or impove my grinding strength. (Double or single) Military Press: Around 10RM bell...

Was there I recent post/article/newsletter/email that listed movements suitable for A+A training? I seem to recall it but can’t find it. (New parent sleep deprived brain).

Still mulling around ideas for a GPP program that maintains overall functional strength and ability to meet daily life demands (carrying children, working around the house and yard, etc), maintains muscle mass in my 40s, keeps me fit in the case of an emergency, and has a slight bias towards...

Thinking through how to build a GPP program that fits my needs (be ready to enjoy chosen sports of trail running, back packing, obstacle course racing; meet the physical demands of a father and home owner; promote long term functional longevity) and is sustainable long term. I really have...

Hi all, I have both the Quick & Dead and the Kettlebell Strong First and I intend to do both back to back for 12 weeks each. I am wondering, if I had only one pair of 24 kg kettlebells, which program should I start with to get the most out of both programs? (like in milking / owning the bell...

Hello, I'm new to the forum but have been reading StrongLifts articles for some time and recently purchased the "Kettlebell StrongFirst" course. I have an hour in the morning to train each day, and plan to do 5 days of Simple and Sinister and 2 days of A+A each week. However, both of these...

I've been thinking about this lately. I'm contemplating the idea of programming LCCJ more like Iron Cardio, or timeless S&S, where the rests aren't strictly timed. I'm thinking about it like setting a timer and just doing sets for that time, while passing the talk test before each set, or at...

As many of you who have been helping me navigate some of the details of my Anti-Glycolytic / A+A style workouts know - in 2022 I read a lot about and bought into the premise of AGT and A+A style training. Due to an injury that needed to heal, and partly due to what I'd read, I stopped going to...

I've been doing A+A / AGT this year, and much of the good advice is to take whatever rest is required between sets to fully recover before the next effort. At the same time, I stubbornly can't shake some old habits like timing the workout, for seemingly good reason. The idea is that as we add...

Curious about people's experiences and preferences for how often they incorporate HIIT/glycolytic training in their programming and what types they like? I understand this is likely largely dependent on fitness/training needs and goals. A little background on myself: I am a practicing...

Would love people’s input and ideas for using A+A as part of strength and conditioning training for long distance trail running specifically. What exercises would you use/suggest to specifically target gains for trail running? Also, what exercises would suggest in A+A as part of cross training...

I am planning an A+A / AGT training cycle. Overhead movements are contraindicated for my sad old shoulders, this rules out Snatch and Jerk which are a common prescription. I enjoyed a clean/front squat complex on my most recent cycle, so I am planning to continue using cleans and want to break...

How do you see the A+A / EMOM -style training working with changing exercises as the session progresses? For example how would something like this work: Minutes 1-15: Power push-up(s) on the :00, sprint(s) on the :30 Minutes 16-30: Burpee(s) on the :00 and :30 Minutes 31-45: Pull-up(s) on the...

Hi everyone, I've been enjoying this program in the evening for a few months, now. I started thinking about lessons from Q&D, like the different benefits of training in the morning or evening. Q&D is pretty explicit about this, but KB SF BJJ doesn't mention it. If I had to guess, that's to allow...

I've been intrigued by using the Delta 20 principle, for waving volume from session to session. I've done this A+A snatches, GTG pushups and pullups. I built a spreadsheet to track sessions over a 5 week block, using formulas to let me know if the plan doesn't wave 20% from day to day, and week...

Pavel published a great article/program for A+A using C&J. I have two full weeks under my belt and started week 3 today. The early results have been noticeable, especially in strength and fat reduction. The one thing I really have enjoyed running a session and then doing some mobility work...

Hi, StrongFirst Family! I was thinking about A+A and Q&D, and rotating those programs with my currently following S&S. When it comes to S&S I'm using 40 kg bell in One-Arm Swing and Tactical Get up, but to follow A+A I will have to switch to @32 bell. What do you think about changing S&S to...

Would it be wise to alter the program to incorporate a+a swings or snatches rather than doing the finisher as written? Thank you in advance ladies and gents.

Hello SF crew, I've been doing some research on the A+A methodology and have been interested in implementing it into my weekly training. My goal here is to train for ultra-running events. First a little background, I'm coming from several years of Olympic/powerlifting style training and...

Apologies in advance for the long post! It's been a long time since I posted here. Two years has passed(I think). Basically, I went from doing S&S, but not able to progress from 13.4kg bells since I didn't have the budget, to getting a gym membership and moving to 16-20kg swings and 16kg TGUs...
