Have you considered grabbing kettlebell express reloaded/express ultra? The king size combo plan would fit you perfectlyI am currently pressing the 24 and 32 kg bells and snatching the 24 kg.

I will look into it! Thank you for the suggestionHave you considered grabbing kettlebell express reloaded/express ultra? The king size combo plan would fit you perfectly
You can do inclines (elevating feet) and one leg as well, with pauses, slow eccentrics, band resisted, weighted vest, sandbag on back …The only reason I shy away from the OAP is because I can knock out a few easily now after practicing them GTG style for about 8 months, and I can’t really add weight to them…
Thank you!My vote would be to cycle S&S, ROP and Q&D. Stick with each for months at a time.
Swing + TGU
Press + Swing/ Snatch
Swing + Push-up
Interesting, is this a quote from somebody else?^

100% this.If you plan on doing this long term, why not cycle the presses in different phases?
This really summed up my views on allot of StrongFirst's newer work. I find allot of it complicated and not enough 'do this'. Not that I don't appreciate the programs but it sure has become more nuanced than what originally attracted me to Pavel's work.The newer programs that take avantage of increased variability in weight, intensity, and density may produce greater results, but the methodical simplicity and escalating routine of ROP is almost meditative which is more valuable to people like myself.
Lets say 2months each Jan Feb Mar Apr May June start cycle again in July.............. that means that you don't do any getups for four months, you don't do any Snatches for four months and you don't do any pushups for 4 months (however you do lots of swings)My vote would be to cycle S&S, ROP and Q&D.

You won't decay much, and you can always do the other movements a little if needed. E.g. use light TGUs as a warm up for ROP/Q&D, or GTG pushups on S&S.Lets say 2months each Jan Feb Mar Apr May June start cycle again in July.............. that means that you don't do any getups for four months, you don't do any Snatches for four months and you don't do any pushups for 4 months (however you do lots of swings)
ie Presses in Mar Apr and next time you press is September.
Does competence in these exercises decay very much in that 4 months or maybe it doesn't really matter if you lose some skill/competence/strength as it will soon come back - Just thinking aloud here ...... probably does not matter .... you will still be a fit and healthy human at any point in that cycle.
Isn’t Naked Warrior somewhat covered in heavy snatches?Bent press and snatches or
Naked Warrior and snatches
Wow, you put me in some amazing company there! I am into weightlifting (Olympic Lifting) almost exclusively for the last 2 years. I just caught the bug and went with it. All previous training has definitely been applicable to this new journey in different ways. It is very humbling to be a beginner with something so difficult and I still consider myself that with weightlifting. Maybe just barely breaking into intermediate now, with 2 meets behind me and gaining consistency with decent technique.Just curious, random thought…what are some of the instructors doing these days in terms of exercises? Like @Pavel, @Pavel Macek, @Fabio Zonin, @Brett Jones, @Anna C, @Steve Freides

I've been keeping a training log online for nine years now. We Ride Chickens My training is a combination of getting ready for a powerlifting meet mid-February directly and other things that help me in the pursuit of that goal.Just curious, random thought…what are some of the instructors doing these days in terms of exercises? Like @Pavel, @Pavel Macek, @Fabio Zonin, @Brett Jones, @Anna C, @Steve Freides ; I know Pavel M does his fitness logs which are very interesting. Would just love to see what sorts of patterns and routines interest these experienced men and women at this point in their lives.
