So I did about 4-6 months of S&S, only to drop it about this time last year. Since then I've played with some more barbell based programs like easy strength.
Last time I encountered a major road block, that being my physical size. For context I'm a 5'7 BJJ featherweight, my usual weight is generally between 66-68kg. I'm comfortable in my weight class and don't feel like moving up (just so no one comes with a Rippetoe approach of "just eat more").
Managed to get up to doing the getups with the 32kg bell for timeless simple, but my major issue became the swing. I could comfortably swing the 32kg bell with two hands but had major issues with the one arm variation.
For one, directing the larger Bell between my legs with one arm was challenging and then I always felt like I wasn't getting the full ROM out of the swing, it only coming up to chin level when doing the one handed variation.
Before I make my return to S&S I need to know is it just an issue of my stature or should I have been doing something different
