Hey team, I just hit "Simple" yesterday and it went pretty darn well. Primarily because I spent so long practicing with 28kgs before a 32kg bell without a grip that tore my hands apart on the swings showed up that I was probably overdue to hit it. Anyway, I'm looking for what to do going forward. Personally, for my goals I'm going aiming to hit "Solid" since the trip to "Simple" has me feeling stronger, performing better at BJJ, and even looking (someone called me "sneaky ripped" recently) better. So, "Solid" is probably going to be more of the same, I think.
I read Pavel Macek's article: Solid: In-Between Simple & Sinister and I jotted down a 2 week plan to take on the next step in the journey so I'm looking for some feedback:
Week A:
M: swings 28, TGU 36 -> mixing in TGUs with the 40 as progression happens
TU: swings 32 (on the clock), TGU 28
TH: swings 32, TGU 32 (mixing in swings with the 36 and 40 as progression happens
F: swings 28, TGU 28 (Wrestle the bell)
Week B:
M: swings 32, TGU 36 -> mixing in TGUs with the 40 as progression happens
TU: swings (2h) 48, TGU 24
TH: swings 32 (on the clock), TGU 28
F: swings (2h) 48, TGU 24
The TU/TH 2H swing sessions would be working toward 10x10 on the 48kg swings since I like the feeling of "loading" that I get from the heavy swings. As far as progression goes, I've already hit some singles with the 40kg bell, so I'm thinking it's more likely that I would get to the 40kg get up before working on the swings. I think I would work this set up until I have the TGUs dialled in and then assess where I am on one-armed swings that are heavier 36kgs & up.
