I’ve enjoyed Giant, Strong and I’ve also got kb ultra and express ( haven’t tried them yet, addicted to Strong ), and now jumped in on P3.Phase 2 unlocked this am.
Hell of a value for $99.

I had an 8a calculus class too. Probably the same outcome as yours...My calculus class was at 8a, so ...... you can figure the rest.
Yes. Be thankful I didn't put in 5x30, which is what I worked up to. ;-)Phase 1 supine locomotion goal of 4x25 dead bugs/leg. Am I reading that right? Seems like a whole lot more compared to other locomotion goals.
for real. I remember being at my old gym using their super uncomfortable kettlebells that had extremely short handles and we’re mostly used for door props. I would be doing Turkish getups and people would just look at me like a zoo animalThat is one reason I like this forum. Especially if you are not in the fitness industry, military, athletics, work out at home, or older, other people can't understand why you would do that to yourself!

I am slowly making my way through Phase 2 sitting and lunge positions as my hamstrings and right hip are extremely tight. I would have jumped ahead to Phase 3 too soon if I received the entire program at once. ...maybe it should be called P4 if we add in Patience!- I also love the fact it doesn’t just let you skip to the end immediately
sameJust spending my time slowly building up the side facing part of phase 1. Agree that it is a feature and not a bug to be forced to go slowly, especially as I can’t fit it in every day. Enjoying the journey.

I would ask Geoff.Right now things are simple because all I’m doing is supine to introduce things slowly, but a few questions for when I progress that someone else may be able to point me to in the PDF/somewhere:
I quite like the “once I’ve done X I can do Y” aspect of progressing within supine from level 1 to level 2 to level 3, but beyond that I’m not clear on how to progress position to position. Just want to make sure I get the most out of the program I can when I get to that stage.
- Do I wait until I get to level 3 position of supine before introducing side lying? Or should I be running all the phase 1 level 1 positions now?
- Do I wait until I get to the rep goal of the supine locomotion before introducing side lying locomotion?
- Same questions for side lying to prone (and beyond).
- If I’m doing two-three positions in a day do I split the reps between them or just stack the reps on top of each other?
(If anyone has answers that require details of the program feel free to PM me too).
I do all breaths, nods, and movement in each of the 3 positions (In your case: supine then side lying then prone) however, I may be at a different level in each position. So, right now I do Sitting level 3; Quadruped level 2; and Lunge level 1.Right now things are simple because all I’m doing is supine to introduce things slowly, but a few questions for when I progress that someone else may be able to point me to in the PDF/somewhere:

My experience has been that if one of the positions helps, it’s immediately noticeable. As in you test a movement (I use goblet squat) and in some cases I’ll gain 6 or more inches of movement after doing the exercise. That’s not to say some positions aren’t taking longer to progress or that it doesn’t take time. Just that I’ve found progress to be immediate in many cases, which is super gratifying.I figure that it will be more like stretching or posture adjustment than weight training where it will take more time to see results.
As others have responded, the program is intended to have you do all three Phase 1 exercises in a session, though you don’t have to if you are time limited. They are meant to build on each other. Definitely don’t wait till you get to phase 3 of supine.Right now things are simple because all I’m doing is supine to introduce things slowly, but a few questions for when I progress that someone else may be able to point me to in the PDF/somewhere:

So easy a caveman can do it, on a bad day.Team -
I'm about to sign up for the program, but the one thing that kind of scares me... it seems really complicated to follow : phase X, level Y, etc...
Would someone kindly set me straight about the program complexity? I'm a very simple minded person...
