I do the traditional S&S warmup (Goblet squats, bridges, halos), but for training, Snatch only. Unless the hands need a break.Do you run any other kettlebell moves?

and running stride and posture. Running easy and relaxed frequently is like a gift.Muscle and lean mass is weight too...
Am I correct that I would be better getting into some locomotion (running) habit. Or is it still a good option for the above-stated goals compared to other options (A+A, trying to make Sinister goal, the kind of training Harald refers to on this thread).
I would footnote this to add that this dude is not a weekend warrior, recreational athlete or desk jockey.
I'm 5'7", 174 pounds, 32" waist. Not fat, but not lean.
Congrats Harald.
I'm about to see how rucking plays into the snatches.
I'm not rucking as frequently as @Harald Motz is running... more like 1-2/week. I also just finished three weeks of Strong Endurance plan 033c.
I'm shifting to A + A snatches next week and will compare to my last round of it this past winter

Andrew Read's "Run Strong" is a good reference to get started with running.
I ruck 3-5 times a week and Snatch A&A 3 times weekly.
Sir, you have me by 1 pound, but otherwise we share the same stats.
but a primal part of me likes the idea of being combat/fighting ready in case the fecal matter hits the spinning bladed apparatus.
Perhaps yourself sir, but my face is one only a mother could love. =]Two sexy beast peas (poods?) in a pod
At what point do the more experienced people on this thread start to see diminishing returns with their A+A work? Has working with a higher number of repeats led to being more tired throught the day? Do you have a predetermined set of repeats or just go until a comfortable stop?
This sounds deceptively simple, but Neal rucks with 45 - 65 lb for 30-90 minutes, and snatches 32-36kg for 16-40 repeats of 5. Day after day, week after week, month after month. Some serious work and capacity built from smart, slow building. True A+A+LSD work -- and one of our best examples to follow! Along with @Miguel, @Harald Motz , and others... basically we do what @aciampa guides us to do, and it works incredibly well for both performance AND health.
@mark reinke I ruck 3-5 times a week and Snatch A&A 3 times weekly. I'll be very interested to hear how it works for you.
I just finished 3 weeks of the Strong Endurance plan 033c (I wanted to get those push ups in) and will switch back to snatching A+A this week.
Would love to hear if y'all have any ideas on formally including push ups in the training.
@aciampa will do. No max rep testing in this one... Just lots of them with a 35 lb pack onMark, the program I am planning on outlining in my book is snatches, push ups, and run. We can fit your rucking in as a substitute. I think you'll like it!
Email me; though I though that we already discussed this.
033c is one of the plans from strong endurance. It involves swings and push-ups.Mark
What is strong endurance plan 033c?
Thanks
when the returns start to deminish can be opaque to define.people on this thread start to see diminishing returns with their A+A work?
not so much after a session, but high volume weeks can take its toll, as one can feel fatigue as it accumulates with volume, obviously seen on hr readings as "well recoverred" makes for a calm hr-reading.Has working with a higher number of repeats led to being more tired throught the day?
Most sessions with the 40k fall in the 20-30 range, and I generally listen to the feel of my hands.Do you have a predetermined set of repeats or just go until a comfortable stop?
