I would love to see someone intentionally alternate 2 hand and 1 hand S&S sessions from the get go. ... Yes I know it's taboo to mess with S&S.
@MattM, it's not taboo, but it's best reserved for those who have some experience in terms of planning.
I'll give you an example of how I mix them - from my lifting log:
SW: on the :55
(44 kg x 2h x 5, 32 kg x 5L, 32 kg x 5R) x 3 = 45 reps
I do a lot of things better in my 2h swings than in my 1h swings, and I like this approach because I feel like my 1h swings "learn" by coming after my 2h swings.
My current program contains both swings and deadlifts, and I prefer to swing almost every day, and too many swings before deadlifts can take away from your deadlift, so on deadlift days I keep my swing volume a little lower, and on non-DL days, if I'm doing swings, I do more of them. I had planned to do 4 "circuits" of the above but when I'd finished 3 of them, I felt like it was enough so I stopped there.
Someone might ask why I'm doing 5's instead of 10's - I vary the volume and format daily, again because I know it works for me. Some days I do 10's on the minute, some days I do 5's on the minute, some days I lengthen or shorten the time interval, some days I vary the reps on every set, some days I do longer sets on much longer rests, e.g, yesterday I did 15's on the 2:30 - that's about 20 seconds of lifting followed by 2:10 of recovery.
I believe it's all good, and I know I can trust my own programming to work for me, not something everyone should do.
