a+a

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...

Hi, I would like to know if someone trains continuously below MAF with KB. Not in A+A style (anaerobic effort + aerobic recovery), but only aerobically without any rest and lower weight. I know that in girevoy (KB sport), they execute longer sets, but as fas as i know it's done in a highly...

Hi, I'd appreciate opinions /advice on my KB programming, if possible. I want to do 100 power reps /day Mon - Fri before work. Primary Goal: conditioning (max mitochondrial adaptations). Secondary goal: maintenance of strength. Other exercise each week: 4 hrs MAF cycling; 3hrs tennis...

Hi everybody, I'm training for VK (vertical kilometer) or short intense trail races. For those who don't know VK it's an uphill mountain running race, which ascends approximately 1000 metres while covering a distance of no more than 5km. Some races are less than 2km long for 1000m elevation...

Hi everyone, Simple question is a circuit workout antiglycolytic if the heart rate stays below MAF without following A+A protocole? For example: 4 rounds of Bw squat Pushup Pullup Situp The idea is to wait the heart rate goes below 110 before beginning the following exercise. It takes in...

Hi everyone, What do you think about mixing those principles of training: -Everyday GTG on multiple exercises Push-ups, dips, pull-ups, crunches, bw squats (pistols). The idea isn't to focus on one exercice, but to be active all the day by doing many easy sets of different exercises (far...

Hi everybody, it's my first post here, so at the beginning a thank you to everyone who contributed here. Knowledge I gained here is invaluable. I'm an amateur muay thai/k1 fighter who got interested in the concept of A+A. There's no one coherent body of text about this type of programming, so...

Need a little direction. Is it possible to snatch A A every day?I think some have said they do it, but I am not sure what they started with in doing so. Just trying to find a good place to start if anybody has some suggestions.
