I seem to recall Pavel mentioning in an old forum that there are alternate ways to program the ladder in RoP - something along the lines of 3x(1,2,3,4,5) for heavy days, but I can't seem to find the post anywhere. Does anyone have a link or remember that discussion?
I decided to play with what I could finish the Rite of Passage with kb weight wise. After a bit of time with other weights I am working on finishing ROP with the 40k. It's hard for me to say the least. Anyone hear of someone completing this with a heavy bell? ie the Beast.
Hi folks! One of my long-term goals is to pass SFG I standards, and I'm finding ROP is a great program for this, since the C&P are built into the program and the other strength moves can be practiced on variety days. The only thing I'm wondering about is the ballistic component, which, from what...
Recently started ROP, and was planning on doing the ladders on the following days:
Monday: light
Wednesday: medium
Saturday: heavy
I'm curious though -- is it best to have the two days of rest/variety before the heavy day, or after it? (For example, I could move the heavy day to Friday or I...

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...
What would people recommend for a double front squat goal?
For example the press has the goal of 5 ladders x 1-5 in rite of passage, the swing and snatch have the 100 reps in 5 min goal.
If I were to train front squats (asymmetrical or with even bells) as a main lift, what would be a good...

Hello, everyone.
I am currently digging the Rite of Passage, and I am in my 5th week. Today I finished 5 4-rung ladders with 24 kgs (also doing inverted rows as I still can't do pullups), and everything seems to be going well. This Saturday is my heavy day, and I should try to finish 5 5-rung...
