Were you training regularly prior to starting S&S?
Did you follow the program as written?
Did the program provide the desired outcome?
Would you have done anything differently?
i started s & s April last year at age 60. prior to that, i had done years of bodyweight stuff (rings, rope, usual stuff for a climber and former gymnastics coach). i had done some KBs for over a year-- mostly snatches and presses. I had done a 6 week program of Q&D.
i had been snatching volume with the 24, but my knees were so wonky that i had to start with a 12 for my TGUs. first month i wasn't sure i'd ever be able to really do TGUs. but it worked out fine, just had to go slow.
i did the program exactly as written (aside from halos, years of ringwork meant they didn't seem to do much for me). i gave up my rings and kept hiking / running, but prolly at a reduced volume. tbh, i find one hand swings really tedious. but like the man says, "that's my problem." swings can be a remarkably effective cardio tool. i worked hard on my nasal breathing, and trying to keep my heart rate down in the lower aerobic range on my dailies.
i hit timeless simple back in january (would've hit it last fall but had a climbing injury). i followed the program switching to a 3 or 4 day a week schedule, but really missed the daily, so i bought a 28 and did another 6 weeks of daily S&S until i hit timed test at that weight.
the one thing i would've done differently-- i wish to god i'd had that program years ago. i'm on ROP now, but still keep TGUs for warmup or on variety days, and once i've got my press where i want it, i'll go back to S&S long enuf to get 100lbs over head. and i'll probably never quit TGUs entirely, they turned out to be a really effective diagnostic and therapeutic practice for this old athlete.
