    Kettlebell ABC + pressing volume and pull-ups

    I remember Dan saying that for ABC a good start would be alternating 2x and 1x per week with another program alternating the opposite (I hope that makes sense). I’m wondering how to add in pressing volume and pull-ups without over taxing myself. (Like a different training on my “off days” not...

    Kettlebell avoiding quad mass during KB swings

    Hello all, Is there any way to avoid working the quad during the KB swing? I don't want bigger quads and find that the swing is adding mass to my quad. I notice that most KB swing tutorials advise bending at the knees a lot....ends up being a cross between a hinge and a squat. can I do swings...
  3. Strong Endurance Strong Endurance plan 025 experience?

    Pavel and SF just freely shared SE plan 025 using swings/snatches and recommended for obstacle course racing conditioning. Was curious if anyone has used this type of plan for OCR training and what your experience was like?

    Kettlebell Feedback on One Arm Swing Form Please

    Hello - looking for feedback on my 1AS form please. Been doing Q&D/S&S for awhile. Started at 35lbs, worked up to 62/70 lbs now for swings and TGUs. I can 2AS 70lbs no prob. On 62/70lb 1AS, I’m getting some rotation on torso but I don’t know if ZERO rotation is allowed or if some is going to...
  5. Kettlebell Heavy farmers carry step-ups?

    Anyone have any experience with heavy farmers carry style step-ups, perhaps A+A style? If so, how are they? Always looking for best bang for buck movements.

    Pavel's training log (not one of those Pavels :) )

    S&S Warmup is a classic S&S warmup. Goblet squats are performed with the heaviest bell I swing today. First set is always 16kg prying. Just like in the Sinister chapter. Plus deadlifts for 5 - I start my rounds with them. On OASW days, stretching / cool-down is: 3 way neck Hanging from the...
  7. Kettlebell Adding resistance bands vs heavier bell

    Been doing a good amount of kettlebell training lately, but taking my time to progress conservatively. IN my home gym I currently have a 52 pound kettlebell and I am comfortable swinging for 10x10 in my main training sessions (along with some presses, pulls, getups, goblet squats). I am wanting...

    Kettlebell Reached Timeless Simple and Done 12 weeks of Q&D: What's next?

    Do I go back to S&S and shoot for Sinister? do I switch to Program Minimum Squared (Program Minimum [Squared] | StrongFirst) I'm still doing 5 to 6 times a week BJJ (in the evenings) and I like training at home in the mornings. Being a lazy bastard, I got used to the 3 days a week minimal...
  9. Kettlebell I know I'm supposed to do barbell but...

    ...I really like how I FEEL using frequent kettlebell training. My background for over a decade was strictly barbell training using Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 and strongman work. We are in the middle of a move and for the past 8 weeks I've only had access to my kettle bells (24 and 40kg). I have been...
  10. Kettlebell ABC

    Hello to all our enthusiasts on this forum, Started ABC on the app my session being heavy grinds. however, it may be a silly question but I'm asking anyway. Series sets the duration, and I managed say 55 reps on MP load now on the light day its 50-60% of that volume which is 27 reps now is...
  11. Kettlebell Going back to kettlebells after surgery

    I had my left labrem repaired back in May, I have torn in multiple times over the past three years, I just finished physical therapy and I'm back to hitting the gym. I've noticed a few things thanks to my physical therapist, I tend to over extend my shoulders when I swing the kettlebell or do...
  12. Other/Mixed Thought Experiment: Programming for OCR

    Was wondering how people on here would use StrongFirst principles and other approaches to program for obstacle course racing. This was something I did years ago, with some moderate success (top 20 placing in shorter races and completion of OCR lengths all the way up to Spartan Ultra). But I...
  13. Kettlebell Semester goals

    Comrades, Later this week I'll move to another town for one semester and want to achieve (or at least come close to) Timeless Simple AND put on some muscle, too. 1,86m at ~72kg isn't that much and while I look athletic I'd like to put a little frame on. Since the gym at the campus is closed...

    Other/Mixed Using Resistance Bands & Kettlebells In My Training

    When working out on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I like to put a spin to my wrestling training using Kettlebells with resistance bands. It really help making real gains in strength, agility and endurance but, most importantly, it would not real boring when working out. Who else uses...

    How times have changed… Throughout my life seasons have changed. I have gone from going to the gym 6 times a week, living 8 minutes from work, to being married with 3 kids and now travelling 1.5 hours to work and the same if not longer in traffic for a return trip… 12 hour shifts… whinge whinge...

    Kettlebell Deadlifting with kettlebells

    Hi all, I have previously asked the forum if I should pursue DLs or kettlebell swings. I have limited hinge mobility that will need some work. The forum advised me to first work on DLs with a barbell to iron out the movement then progress to explosive hinging (KBs). I began looking into...
  17. Other/Mixed Program ideas for a sandbag, kettlebell and weighted calisthenics

    First thread here. I’ve done my fair share of barbell throughout the years I’ve lifted (currently 21 and started when I was 17) and to be honest I’ve grown a little bored with it. I just don’t seem to get excited with it anymore . I like the idea of sandbag training because it’s challenging and...
