ladders

I train mainly with bodyweight and loaded bodyweight movements. Last months I've been progressing using 8-10 RM loads, but I'm planning to go down up to 5-6 RM for some ladder work (starting at 1-2-3 ladders and progressing from there). My idea is to do something along the lines of "Strength...

Hey all, I'm coming back to lifting after a couple of months of break due to health problems I encountered. I started doing a 5x5 Linear Progression program to increase my strength with the basic movements (squat, bench, deadlift, row, overhead press) back to my previous levels. But with the...

Hello StrongFirst community, On page 109 of easy strength, the 2nd principle of “three ladders and three rungs” is discussed by Dan John. The specific example Dan used is Pavel’s ETK ROP program and mentions that 3 ladders and 3 rungs are what he found best to work the slow grinding movements...

Apologies if this was posted before. I’ve read PTTP and am starting the program tomorrow. Eventually I may attempt to put in muscle with it. I understand Pavel’s Russian Bear program, but I was wondering if you could ladders (ETK style) to get the volume work in? I understand this would...

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...

On his book ETK pavel talks about ladders starting at 1,2,3 reps the first week which totals at 18 reps of presses in a practice And he also talks about heavy, moderate and light days Does that mean that if i do 3x1,2,3 on heavy days the light day is 1x1,2,3 total of nine reps? And on modetate...

If my left arm max press is a couple of reps short of my right arm press should I program my press ladders asymmetrically? L 1,2,3,4,5 R 2,4,5 for example? Or add an extra left ladder? I wonder why is there so much symmetry in published KB programming when probably almost everyone has...
