    tldr: Being humbled by heavy bell, requesting advice on clean and press regressions/remedial exercises Hi, I've been doing the ROP for a while and have been really enjoying it. my snatches, cleans and presses and swings have been challenging but I felt like I progressed well in strength...
  2. Kettlebell Torn Calluses Care

    Recently I have a bad case of torn calluses while running The Giant. It’s so bad that it impedes my session and make me skip a day. What do you think about using gloves for Kettlebell training? Or do you have any advice in how to take care of your palm? The mistress starting to complain about...
  3. Other/Mixed Geoff Neupert's C&P programs with DBs?

    Hi! I've been following Geoff Neupert for some some and I'm intrigued by his autoregulated, C&P based programs like Strong!, The Giant and the new Easy Muscle. My KB C&P technique is nonexistent, however, and I don't see that changing soon. I do have some experience with the DB C&P and fancy...

I started doing S&S with a 20kg bell but I found it quite boring so I started Kettlebel STRONG! and loved it. I run it with double 20kg, when I finished I managed to do 13 reps...

    Kettlebell 24kg C+P Form Critique

    Lay into me please. This was my last rung on my heavy day 3x(1,2,3,4) 2x(1,2,3). I need to dial this in somehow. I feel like my first rep looks half decent because of the set up but the rest I can clearly see that I’m not hinging very well. To be honest I just don’t know HOW to get deeper in...

    Kettlebell Clean and press breathing

    I've been trying to figure out how to breath for clean and press. I'm doing ladders up to five. I definitely inhaled on the drop/backswing. Do I inhale on clean and hold breath during upward part of press? Or do I pause, inhale, then exhale on the press? NB did some googling around and...

  10. Kettlebell C&P: stretch shortening cycle

    I'm wondering about whether/when to employ a stretch shortening cycle during a clean and press. I'm not a particularly advanced trainee, with my 1RM C&P at 24kg, but my proprioception is pretty good. With strict presses on my 40 lb bell, I have about a 7 RM, but if I do C&P with a technique...

    Kettlebell Thoughts on hypothetical strength/hypertrophy program

    So this thought process was brought on by 2 things recently, I have been doing Pat Flynn's updated Prometheus Protocol, a 4 day per week program of double Clean and Press, Front Squats, Bent Over Rows, and Single-Leg Dead lifts. I've been enjoying it a lot, and have just been reading up on...
  12. Kettlebell Timing between rungs for ladders

    Is there a standard for time gaps for rungs of a given ladder? From the materials I've read there is a lot of stuff written on resting between the ladders themselves, but the individual rungs--not so much. For example, I have been working my way through 803B & usually using 5 breaths between...
