progression

I had a 12kg bell sitting unused for quite a while before I bought the S&S book last year. I began to experiment a little while reading the book with the different movements, from the warmup to the prying goblet squat. When I came to the Turkish Get Up, I found that 12kg was too heavy as I could...

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 I am currently doing the 5x5 madcow. And I replaced the '' Barbell Row '' with weighted pull-ups. I used the madcow calculator and my weight for the pull-ups seems very heavy. I also have trouble finishing some series while the% compared to my 1 RM is the same as for the other exercises...

I ask myself a little question about my progress in pull-ups. It took me 3 months and 10 days to go from 18 to 20. But only 4 weeks to go from 10 to 14 in weight (10kg). I used a lot of GtG, FFP. Despite that I gained considerable ease on the 2 types of pull-ups (BW and weighted). Maybe...

Hello, this is my first post on the forum. Currently I am doing simple and sinister 2.0, and have a question about progression. I have been doing the 24 kg for 3 weeks, and would like to start incorporating the 32 kg bell as per the progression scheme. However I know the book recommends adding...

Hey guys, I've been doing S&S to the letter since March and reading Easy Strength.. My previous forum post is here, for those who would like to see: S&S: Soccer GPP Adaptation?? I believe that, even though I haven't done the swing and tgu test yet, I am capable of moving up weights as I went...

Hi All, I am new to the forum so apologies if something similar has been posted before (I have looked but cant find a thread that answers my questions). Can someone advise me on a simple bodyweight routine focusing on upper body (I do a lot of running and cycling so wont be neglecting legs)...

I am documenting my 1st set of every workout on my journey to full planche and one arm chin up. I hope to have 3 one arm chin ups and a 9 second full planche by the end of 2017 and I'm posting 3 workouts every week with my progress and form improvement. I would enjoy to have an open conversation...

Hey for those of you who can hit the time standards with the beast and beyond how long did it take you to own your previous bells? According to my logs it took me only a few days to master the 16kg Then a couple of weeks with the 24 Then about 2 months with the 32 And I've just now started on...

I am new to the S&S program and have read the book and am a week into the program. I am completely out of shape and haven't worked out regularly in a number of years. The last time I consistently worked out I was following the Enter the Kettlebell program. I am currently using a 25lb bell for...
