s&s

Hello all, First time posting here. I would like to say thank you firstly, all the forums have been invaluable throughout my s&s journey. After a year of training S&s with great results, I have recently run into some issues with my R elbow ( it was perfect up until I introduced the 32kgSwings...

Hey folks! Had a question about temporarily replacing swings with kettlebell deadlifts in S&S. I had back pain to varying degrees for over a year which I'm currently in physio for - I was working on adding in the 24kg but had to take a break for physio since I'm very back and quad dominant. He's...

Hypothetically speaking, if one doesn't have enough time to do a full Simple & Sinister routine each day, what would be the best way to spread it out? I recognize it equates to slower progress. The two options I see are a full routine every other day or TGUs one day and swings on the alternate...

When I'm doing the "QL straddle" from S&S 2.0, I feel like my lowest ribs push against the top of my pelvis, pinching what flesh is in between. Has anybody else experienced this?

Do you use the OS resets along with S&S? If so: How do you combine them, and what is the best 'recipe' you've found? And what improvements have you seen? Any and all genuine data points welcome.

Apologies if this topic has already been covered, the search function did not seem to throw anything up... Curious as to peoples thoughts on a daily barbell practice, similar at least in theory to a daily S&S practice. What has always attracted me (and I'm sure many others) to S&S is its...

OK, here is the thing: I can't do TGU due to my old wrist injury, thus I do Tactical Get-up mentioned in the S&S 2.0 book. This week I completed 100 One-Arm Swings with 32kg, so it would mean that I achieved Timed Simple, but instead TGU I did the same amount of reps TacGU (I call that the...

Hi all, I'm wondering how to schedule a plan in which I would like to have S&S sessions and DL with Squats as in Reload? I have 5-6 sessions of S&S with 32kg (Timeless Simple competed), but I think in order to add some DL and SQ I would have to reduce to 3-4. The main goal would be to get...

I feel as I go heavier and heavier with the TGU (only at 24kg right now), my left elbow seems to complain more and more. My right elbow is mostly fine. I try to focus on keeping my shoulder packed/lats engaged (until they need to disengage ever so slightly to raise the bell overhead), and I...

I understand that slowing your heart rate and relaxing is a goal between sets, so that you can recover more quickly and be ready to start your next set sooner. I'm looking for a prescriptive "do this for X seconds, that for X seconds" instruction. But I haven't managed to find one from a...

Hello! I have been lurking in this forum for quite a while and read many helpful threads. I've finally worked up the courage to ask my own question. I've been following S&S mostly consistently for quite a while (two years), and would like to reach timed simple before moving to something more...

I hit timeless Simple about a month ago, and I've recently transitioned to work towards timeless Simple. As such, I've started working the 40kg two sets out of 10, with one workout a week of hard pushing the time on a 24kg. After just a week and a half of this, my lats are burning like nobody's...

Hi everyone, I had an idea this morning that I thought might be useful to share, and to get some comments from SFGs and experienced lifters on here for everyone’s benefit. My right hand has an annoying tear on the middle finger because of a pulled callus. I have been diligently doing my...

Hello Everybody Nice to meet you all, I just joined the community and I would like to introduce myself and share with you my progress so far. I'm 48 yo guy, living in Germany. I'm training in S&S and here is my story: I found an article about S&S just by accident browsing in internet 4 years...

Hi Everyone, I have recently started S&S and created a spreadsheet for myself to be able to track my progress - and thought I would share with this forum. It is a Google Sheet. Here is a screenshot of it, with sample data filled in. Here are my graphs from my spreadsheet so you can see what...

I am starting this training log for 3 reasons: 1. To keep motivated and to motivate others 2. To keep track of my progress 3. And most importantly, to embed my self in this amazing community even further! Background I am a 24 year old, 6ft 5inch Male from Manchester, England. I currently do...

Hi guys, I’m new to the forum and I’m completely new to anything inspired by Pavel. Kettlebells have always fascinated me and with us all locked in our own homes I figured there’s probably no better time than to start my education here. I started S&S on Monday this week but I also compete in...

I finished the Hybrid Power Conditioning Program today with a 16 kg kettlebell. Six weeks of 3 days per week slowly increasing 10 swings EMOM. Tough thing considering my relative inexperience with kettlebells, but I finished it Alhamdulillaah. Very foolishly, I did not take before photos or...

hey, i just wanted to introduce myself, i have started S&S a couple months ago after I made my own set of homemade kettlebells (approx. 10kg, 24kg, 35kg and 40kg) right now my sessions look like this: warm up: shoulder dynamic stretching crawling goblets with 35kg 3x5 SLDL 3x2 w/ 35kg Swings...

Hi. I got a 16 kg kettlebell some time back. Started with S&S. Progressed a bit then fell off the wagon. Exercised really sporadically for a couple of months. Was looking for some program that I could start and finish during the ongoing lockdown (I live in India). Searched and found this...
