Great job dude! The clean and press covers many bases in the fitness world! Makes your whole body strong!More results from the Giant. I’ve basically been strictly running the Giant since May. I tested my push press max today and was able to get the 40kg up! This would not be possible for me 8 months ago. I almost got it with a strict military press but failed 3/4 the way up. Also tested my 1 hand swings and snatches. I was able to do both with 32kg…this is more proof that the Giant can transfer over other lifts. Here’s some proof!

Thanks for the awesome programming. The Giant has made me realize I can get my work in and be strong, progress but also feel good. I never feel like a I can’t walk for 3 days after a training session on this program.
@Dries S did last year I believe. I did years back when the Giant was part of "Kettlebell Express" ..... I only did the 1.0, not the full series. Works well with a single bell too.
I did indeed John! Did the 1.0 and 1.1 with a single 40kg kb. For me the hardest part was the conditioning, because you have to do both arms. I think double bells will have a better strength/hypertrophy effect (as stated in the program itself).
!
I believe @Eyetic did.
I found this in your training journal. There is nothing there about the effects. Does it work more conditioning with one bell?
Anecdotally, single bell is more huff-and-puff (for me at least). I am in week 4 of 1.0 and doing single-arm this week (3 weeks up, 1 week down pattern), and those extra cleans add a conditioning element. I think I “feel” it in my obliques more with single-arm than double too, if that makes any sense.
Me too. Five reps left arm and I'm starting to get out of breath.....then same thing on the right/stronger side without stopping and I'm really fatigued. I think it's one of the benefits of single-arm work.
I don't think it's the cleans so much as having to stay tight on the presses for twice as much time under tension. And I agree that single presses hit the obliques, just like suitcase carries vs. two-arm farmer carries.
I haven't necessarily done this but I dont see why this wouldn't work if you keep the TGU loads to 'not too heavy'. TGU would activate the entire body and also increase mobility of the shoulders - all good stuff for clean and press.
Not for this program, but I never regret spending 5-10 minutes with getups with a light-medium bell.
