I figured it was better to start a log then keep jamming up the Giant thread on the main forum. I also have no outlet in real life to discuss kettlebells with and hope this keeps my desire to do so satiated lol.
Some background, I have done Crossfit/grappled/S&C intermittently over the last 15 years. Last year I tore my bicep going for a max deadlift and once I was cleared for lifting again I ran DFW with 24kgs. From DFW I went into Giant 3.0 and Giant 1.0 which I just completed. I have never tested my maxes and have no immediate plans to test. I have purchased 60# bells and plan to run Giant in completion all the way through at least both.
At this point my goals are to be able to do extreme things on vacation without feeling like I got hit by a bus as well as improve my longevity and quality of life as a I get older. I am currently 33. There is also no complaint at all about how clean and presses have grown my guns, my repaired bicep is nearly back to pre tear size.
I ran DFW with no additions on DFW days. I did have fan bike sprints and BikeErg steady state on off days. All reps are just clean & press (squat had same numbers)
Some pretty great gains, I think a lot of it was going from physical therapy to working out and my body adapting.
