    Kettlebell How to maintain/build deadlift strength, train KBs, and BJJ simultaneously?

    I hope the KB forum is the appropriate section for this... I'm switching from doing 5/3/1 with lots of added volume and accessories four times a week to Simple and Sinister in an effort to simplify my training and life. I also got back into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I realized time and energy-wise...

    Kettlebell A great way to add in chinups to my S&S practice without detracting from anything else

    I've recently simplified my lifting endeavors and begun to focus solely on S&S. I achieved the simple standard with the 32 KG but want to be able to do it easily before moving on to a heavier bell. Another huge goal of mine has always been to improve my chinups. I used to have a rep goal of...

    Kettlebell GTG Swings?

    I´m doing S&S, and lately I have been doing the swings in a GTG manner throughout the morning a few times a week. I then save 10 minutes in the evening to do the TGUs. The other days I just do regular S&S. This is how I do it: Before the first set, I do a few goblet squats, halos and bridges...

    Kettlebell S&S 'maintenance frequency'

    I recently acquired a barbell and am taking my first steps towards PTTP, however I want to ensure that I can at least maintain the conditioning I built on S&S. My current plan is to practise the PTTP lifts (deadlifts and floor presses, in my case) up to four times a week and do S&S twice a week...
  5. Kettlebell S&S same day as cardio

    I am on the S&S protocol and love it. I try to do it 2-4 times a week. Once a week I play "floorball" (innebandy). Its a Swedish land hockey game. There are lots of sprints and running. That day and the day after I don´t do any Kettlebells. Do you think I should try to do my kettlebells also...
  6. Kettlebell S & S - slight knee pain

    I am on the S & S protocol. Currently on 24kg. I have slight pain in my right knee on the insight. Could this be from doing the swings wrong?

    Kettlebell Press to Front Squat Ratio?

    Press to squat ratio? I was wondering what the right balance of 2KB presses to 2KB front squats with a given pair of kettlebells should be to have balanced strength. The reason I'm asking is that the heaviest pair of doubles I have are 24kg and I want to identify weaknesses/imbalances. When I...

    Kettlebell S&S: 4 kg jumps, yes or no?

    Are intermediate kettlebells of 4 kg jumps, good or bad in the context of S&S? For men, Pavel prescribes 8 kg jumps: 24, 32, 40 and 48. I have been working with the 24 for 1 year and already achieved the time standards. The thing is, I have made 3 attempts to start including the 32, but the 3...

    Kettlebell S&S: Variety day instead of light day?

    I´ve been doing S&S for the last 1.5 years, currently progressing from the 24 to the 32. Every few days I take a light day, which usually consists on 80 swings with the 24 and no TGU or just a few with the 24. My goals are: Short term: practicing S&S with the 32. Medium term: Simple. Longer...
  10. Kettlebell T-spine fusion and S&S lifts

    Hello all, I had a question about the TGU and T-spine mobility that I'd like to ask people more experienced than I and that I've yet to find an answer elsewhere. So, my situation. Almost, if not all, of my thoracic spine is fused (about a decade ago, it's not going anywhere), so I have...

    Kettlebell S&S + Cardio: How do you do it?

    I know many recommend and do cardio in addition to S&S. I´m curious how you organize it and if you liked the results. Below a quote from Pavel, posted by @Bret S. : "Here is the rule of thumb of aerobic training before or after strength training. if you are focusing on neural adaptations, do...
  12. Nutrition The ketogenic diet + S&S combination

    Hi guys! Just bought the Simple & Sinister book today and read through most of it. Really impressed with the rationale behind the program structure. I have been training with Kettlebells for the past couple months now and have been seeing a decent increase in strength. I intend to start the...

    Kettlebell Blood Perfusion

    Hi there, I recently re-read the article: Strength Training and the Benefits of Perfusion | StrongFirst and wanted to know what types of strength training would maximize this effect. The paper that Dr. Hartle references in the article uses studies with both aerobic and resistance training...

    A Lifestyle of Strength

    Hello everyone, My goal is to complete the S&S workout plan up to the 48kg Beast. I don’t have a timeline because I want to do this right. I also don’t want to sideline myself with an injury. I’m 32 years old. 160lbs. At 5’ 7”. My purpose for this training log is to get feedback from this...
  15. Kettlebell S&S-Circling back after 4 months off

    I plan to start S&S again after taking the past 4 months off. I was still training the past 4 months (6 weeks of Craig Marker's Hybrid Power Conditioning Program 3x/week + Powerlifting 3x/week, followed by 10 weeks of Hybrid Performance Powerlifting Program (powerlifting/bodybuilding, no...

    Kettlebell HR monitor recommendation?

    Hi to all members of this wonderful community. I am in the market for a proper HR monitor. I train for health, wanna start S&S pretty soon (maybe in a month) and I just want to have a good, light, with a good quality/price ration, easy to use HR monitor to use when I do my swings, get-ups...

    Kettlebell TGU on the minute most sessions

    There seems to be a concensus that doing the swings in 5 minutes every session is not a good idea, and is actually not what S&S program prescribes. But what about the Turkish get ups? This is not frequently discussed. I read a few things lately that got me thinking about doing the TGU on the...

    Kettlebell Practice frequency: 5 or 7 times a week?

    Hi all, For the last 14 days I have been doing S&S every day. Instead of days off I have done light days, but no days off at all. Before this period I was practicing about 4-6 days a week, whatever life permitted, but not every day like now. I have noted that in order to recover from day to...
