Kettlebell CPSq

I really liked this article when it got posted, and have recently been working this into my routine, in ladder format.

The CPSq Kettlebell Workout - StrongFirst

Just curious if / how others may have run this?

I spent quite a lot of time with this a year or two ago. It's pretty good and should put some muscle on you. The only thing I'd say is missing is to add in some chin ups. Overall pretty good complex

I must admit I hadn't thought of it from a muscle building perspective, but can see how it could add to meat to the bones, especially for beanpole like me! I hear you on the chin ups - at the moment I'm doing a couple of days of the cpsq and a couple of days of press ups and chin / pull ups, with swings 2-3 times a week. Did you have success with any particular set / rep scheme?

And I should have said in my first post, thank you strongfirst! There certainly is a lot of info put there on the blog that could keep most of us busy for years...

I used CPSq in a couple of ways in the end. I initially used it alongside S&S as recommended here:
STRENGTH AEROBICS: “CONDITIONING” WORKOUTS THAT WORK
I think I aimed to just add an extra set each workout with this.

I later used it for my first foray into doubles work (which to be honest was a bit advanced for me at the time) with the following:
Moving Target complex
This is fairly brutal but a good bit of fun

Thanks @DavThew

I really like the flexibility of this complex, will be interested to see how far I can progress with it...

Thanks! I was looking for a bit variety without laying off S&S completely. I'll try alternating this and S&S like Pavel reccommends in the article.
