Hi everyone,
Didn't know exactly what ES involved so put this in Kettlebell since it's the busiest part of the forum; apologies if I made the wrong call.
I'm just curious as to what exactly is involved with Easy Strength. Is it a set programme with particular exercises, or is it more of an approach to training that one can apply to anything (kind of like how The Naked Warrior outlines GTG; one could in theory use it with any exercise they like)? It's quite cheap to get for Kindle right now so was toying with getting it to give it a read.
As a point of reference by the way, I've just finished my first month of S&S, and in addition I GTG weighted and unweighted pistols and pull-ups. This has been working great for me as it's simple, time efficient, has got me much fitter and stronger while working well alongside training for my sport (boxing). It's just that I've seen a few people mention that they've used Easy Strength programming or whatever with pull-ups with good success, so wondered if I might benefit? Plus I always love reading Pavel's work and like to educate myself where possible.
Also, I want to build strength with no muscle mass (or minimal mass) due to being a weight-class athlete, so please let me know if I should avoid Easy Strength due to it building too much mass.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and has a happy New Year
