Picked up the Simple and Sinister online course. It definitely gave me a lot more insight into the program and seeing it done in real time, highlighted some issues I wasn't picking up on. To be completely frank, this last 7 weeks of the Rite of Passage, taught me a lot about discipline. I do have a problem though, I'm beginning to run out of energy and time. It reminds me a lot of Pavels Cost of Adaptation Article : The Cost of Adaptation | StrongFirst

My current situation is exactly what S&S was built for. I have an active job, inconsistent schedule and I think now, that I've gotten my discipline hammered down, I will do better with Simple and Sinister going forward. I've already been doing the warm-up and the cool down stretches from S&S. The only thing I need to add now is the swings and get ups, voila I'm doing Simple and Sinister.

.... I do have a problem though, I'm beginning to run out of energy and time. ...

My current situation is exactly what S&S was built for. I have an active job, inconsistent schedule...
My biggest takeaway from simple and sinister was how to train effectively when in the position you described above. A great philosophy, when when changing in swings for snatches or cleans, and TGU with push up or press.

I have been using that philosophy for what I'm feeling at the time, for 2 exercises. I guess I get workout ADD and like to change things up. But always use a simple 2 exercise workout, always with 1 grind and 1 ballistic.

Nice work, very inspiring, I need to dial in my discipline now.
