Question: what plan/program to do next? Access to equipment: 1x24 KB, 2x32 KB, 2x40 KB, 1x48 KB, bodyweight, 20kg Weight West, floor. Goal: - Log press 120kg - DL 215kg for reps - One hand anyhow BW over head - Farmers walk 130kg (per hand) 15+15m THIS is the problem. My goals are not...

MY HISTORY I'm still young in training and ignorant of many ideas in physical training. I know about some kettlebell movements from trying it and using breadcrumbs left by SFGs who left behind a decentralized encyclopedic library of tutorial content. I used S&S to achieve a base of strength, I...

Hi. I am a relatively healthy male 37 year old, with weight 70kg. When at the gym I do not like to "work out", but instead I like to train towards a specific concrete standard or goal. I have chosen as my goal the "SFG I Kettlebell Certification" because kettlebells bring me great pleasure. I...

Is anyone using an automated programming template in the form of excel sheet or app that allows you to put in your numbers and calculate directly what your volume/weight is going to be? Does any of the programming courses provide this once completed?

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...

Today I was messing around with my deadlift stance during warm-up. I put my feet a bit narrower than usual. This made things feel a bit more difficult than my usual stance. I considered using this new stance for my work sets since I am at the beginning of a mesocycle, but I resolved to put my...

Reading ”Easy Strength” currently. Around page 40 Dan John gives an example of a warmup progression. With quite a few movements and exercises. He seems to be implying that he uses this warmup every training session? Possibly even daily? Later in the book they’d give suggestions on how to do...

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...

I have recently gotten to 20 sets of 10 kb swings with 72lbs. This is the heaviest I have access to. I am planning to maintain my swings and keep perfect form by doing 10x10 and TGU’s like S&S (I have achieved (m)simple, @120lbs body weight) I am considering doing snatches, but not snatches for...

so - I'll take this opportunity to ask a question I had before but, haven't asked. I've been re-reading the strong endurance manual - I've been reading beyond bodybuilding, for the first time and re-reading starting strength and practical programming for strength training. these are the...

In the StrongFirst newsletter from last Thursday it included a combination strength and hypertrophy plan and describes how it works specifically for one exercise (exercise selection choices were given but the program was only shown for a single exercise). To put that to work in a...

I am 16yo, 115lbs, 5’6, around 10% BF My current 1RM for single arm over-head press is 47lbs and I want to get up to at least 60lbs I am currently doing a reverse latter program where I go up in weight when I reach 4-5sets of 3-2-1reps any tips on programming or single arm pressing ?

I'm in the test week of the 5TRM back squat programme, and intending to start the Daily Dose Deadlift plan next week. I'm wondering how best to balance the rest of my training with the programme. At the moment I'm lifting 3 days a week – squats every session (as per the 5TRM programme) followed...

I’m sure this has been asked already but I’m trying to figure out what different kettle bell programs offer given the amount of overlap they all seem to have when it comes to ‘checking all the boxes’. Asked another way, why would I choose Simple and Sinister vs Kettlebell Strongfirst (Bhutto...

Hey All, Just wondering your thoughts about replacing the DL’s in PTTP with Zercher Squats? Goals are GPP with the plan to compete in the spring and fall TSC’s as a way to monitor progress. I have decided to follow Brett Jones article “To Every Season: A simple way to Structure A Year of...

Hi all. I had bicep tendon repair surgery (at the elbow) around a month ago. As a result I currently can't currently do exercises which require two hands. For example - two handed swings, two handed barbell exercises, etc are all out (probably for a couple of months). I'm trying to devise a...

Hello, I am running Fabio Strength during difficult times program. Quick Summary is that it calls for 3 movement push, pull, squat done in ladder sequences with the same weight over a period with volume increasing over the block. The program is three days a week but my question is that on the...

Straight-arm strength vs bent-arm strength. Vertical pulling vs horizontal pulling. Rotational strength vs explosive strength. One-arm vs bilateral. I know the answer is ultimately 'it depends', followed by 'what are your goals', but come on. We can paint with some broad strokes occasionally...
