After a long hiatus I am planning to soon resume training with a 10 week block of S&S. My initial thinking is a two week block with a light weight (to reacquaint with and prime the movement patterns), followed by eight weeks, during which I’ll wave (incrementally increasing intensity). I’m working towards the goal of achieving the timeless Simple standard (again).
I was considering testing and re-testing a set of exercises as means to measure progress made during the 10 week block. Obviously the S&S progress will speak for itself, however I’m curious to test carryover results to other exercises and WTH effects. To this end, what exercise tests would you recommend for this purpose? I was hoping to have a couple tests each for push, pull and hip hinge movements.
For background, I last achieved the timed Simple standard in March 2023. For equipment, I have single 16kg, 20kg, 24kg and 32kg kettlebells, a TRX equivalent and adjustable dumbbells which can be loaded to 20kg per hand.
Thanks in advance. I find putting effort into measuring progress to be motivating and increases my adherence to programming.
