Kettlebell Long Cycle Training:

3 sets x 2 min. with 1,5 min. rest. + 1 set of 1 min.

For Kettlebell Sport I'm following a program from Thierry Sanchez which consist of 29 levels in a step cycle format (own the time, before you progress to the next level).

Simple and Sinister:

Warmup; 3x5 goblet squats

10/10 Swings x 32kg
5/1 Getups x 32kg

Nothing special, still working on owning the weight and focusing on my breathing as explained in the book.

After reading The Quick and the Dead again last night, I decided to try the Swing & Push-up plan today.

I rolled the dice and did the 5/4 plan for 80 reps with 32kg.

Really, really enjoyed the training and now I am considering replacing S&S with Q&D.

Warm Up:

3 min. Jump Rope

Dice Roll: 1+1+6 which means:

5/4 for 40 total

TGU

4x1x28kg
1x1x32kg

and some very easy jumprope and pullups.

I keep doing the TGU's on the 'off days' to keep my S&S training in check.
 
This by far my favorite program:

1. Literally every training is different, but still the same. (Great for my training add)

2. Only two moving parts, but never boring. (After achieving Simple, the thought of doing swings and get-ups on a daily basis and training for GS, wanted me to put a bullet through my head).

3. F#cking convenient. Just your bodyweight and a kettlebell.

4. Better results in less time. I didn't test my VO2max, but I did have my fat percentage measured today. I compared this with last year when I trained a lot more (with kettlebells, S&S and GS to be precise). And lo and behold, I went from 12% to 10% while getting stronger and better conditioned. And I'm just getting started on the 4th week of Q&D (!)

5. Geoff Neupert was right; this book truly is Pavel's Magnum Opus.

6. Here I am. 37 years old, injury free, rocking a solid six pack, training 30 minutes tops a day. Life is good!

Thank you Pavel!
