Nice!
Not going to lie, at first I thought this was going to be a thread about combining the Strong! program with a heavy ballistic lift.

That's really attractive. It's got the style of dead-start ballistics I used to love back in the day and people stopped doing.

I'm going to be keeping my eye out for it to go on sale.

Did they take it off the site? I can't seem to find it via link / google / manually on the site..?

Looks like it. I purchased it and got an update earlier today.

I did some courses with Kenneth, he is a great instructor; explains everything well and never misses any detail on technique.
I think Harald Motz has been a guinea pig for this one, and it seemed to work very well.

Just bought it and took a look. Did anyone try creating a plan already? I ran into an issue here @Kenneth Bolyard

I can edit the plan (name, exercises, etc), but the changes are not being transferred/saved to phase 1-3
I get the following error displayed:

1.)

What does the program exactly contain ? Is it instruction about exercises ? Is it some form of different programs ?

Ballistic Strong plans are advanced strength endurance protocols that follow the guidelines of Strong Endurance.

These plans are in compliance with Pavel Tsatsouline’s ground-breaking Plan Strong system and use the “Delta 20” principle for volume programming as well as uncoupled varied (Waved) intensity, varied rep ranges and corresponding time/rest periods.

For the first time ballistic exercises are structurally programmed in a custom manner as strength exercises are with the Plan Strong system.

Each of the Ballistic Strong plans are 12 weeks in total duration. They consist of three, 4-week phases that build upon each other. I.e., two preparatory phases (Phase 1 & 2) and one semi-peak phase, (Phase 3).

Ballistic Strong plans are available for all Kettlebell Ballistic movements and are as follows:

1. Swing

- 1-Arm SW

- 2-Hand SW

- H2H SW

2. Snatch

- Snatch

- Half Snatch

3. Snatch & Swing combined

- 1-Arm Snatch, 1-Arm & 2-Hand Swing combined

4. Single Clean & Jerk

- Single CL, JK & LCCJ

5. Double Clean & Jerk

- Double CL, JK & LCCJ

Technical proficiency is required for the exercise chosen for a Ballistic Strong plan.

I encountered something similar using Google sheets and Kenneth assured. E they're working on it and will fix the issue as well as give those who purchased the product the updated version without the issues

Thanks for the update Mark. Really like the product but I can’t get the spreadsheet to work. I thought it was user error so glad they are working to resolve it.

Thank you for the answer, much appreciated. I though I was doing something wrong.
Waiting for the update will give me time to take a deep dive into the pdf

3.

BASIC syntax error.
Variable Bells already defined

Spreadsheet still not usable on Libre Office

Just tried to open it via the BJJ Fanatics App on the iPad using "Numbers" - and it's looking very different here, gotta try if it works later today..

 

[Matt_lux]

There are macros in the files; it does work with MS Excel, I hope it is not a requirement.

 

[Anders]

is it fixed ?

 

[paules]

I have contacted Strong and Fit directly to see if the issue can be resolved. I have tried to run the spreadsheet on Excel and Numbers on my iPad without success.
