I'm at intermediate level (already can do muscle ups, pistol squats,...) and I'm using strict (only slight heel touch) deep step up as my primary "heavy" leg movement (like pull ups for back). I prefer them to pistol squats since I can hardly get close to muscular failure with pistol squats...
I'm looking for a general strength protocol with kettlebells made as simple as possible. I have already settled for snatches/swings for my conditioning, as I respect the individual benefits that they both bring, so I decided to rotate through them both. However, I'm not sure if the bent press...
Hello,
Looking for some assistance structuring a program. I’m a LEO/SWAT operator with variable work schedule. I train BJJ 2-3 times per week. Looking to add strength training to my schedule. Issues I have is that some weeks I have access to a gym several times per week and other weeks I’m...
In conjugate I monitor everything, but I haven't figured out how to calculate a number representative of volume for the bodyweight (and weighted) assistance.
Pullups - what percentage of bw should I assign to a pullup? Also, say I add 100lb, is it then simply (% x BW +100)?
Dips, hanging leg...
Hello all,
First post here. I just tested the number of body-weighted dips that I can do in a single set, and I am able to do 13. I have been doing BW dips every other day using the GTG methodology (10 sets of 5 reps, done throughout the day). From the information I've gathered (being able to...
I want to keep my question short:
I' am training 5/6 times per week for a few months now (mostly strength training).
So I can do ~25 pushups, ~10 pullups, ~10 dips and ~10 pistol squads with perfect form in one set.
My goal is to double those reps in the next two weeks. (50 pushups, 20...
I'm a 25 year old man, weighing about 73-74kg depending on the day. I have no previous history of injury more than a callus tear or worse.
I train BJJ about 3-4 times a week, and my training is both towards complementing my jiu jitsu, preventing injury and getting stronger for the sake of...

Hi all,
I'm interested in hearing thoughts and experiences of stopping most sets based on when speed starts slowing down. Is this as hard as StrongFirst recommends pushing a set outside of record attempts?
My focus is higher rep bodyweight basics (chins, dips, skater squats).
I come from...
Hi all,
My current goals are pretty tightly focused on some bodyweight goals revolving around basics (chins, dips and hover lunges).
In terms of programming, I am wondering if just varying grip, volume, effort (same but different) is enough variability over the course of the training year or...
I love to do weighted dips, I feel that nothing works better on my chest and they were a major part of my training program. but I would now like to improve my one hand kettelbell press. how could I combine these two movements in one program (in military press i want to increas my 1 RM and in...
