I sometimes did them as part of the warm up, or on off days. I like training so it was a good thing to do on off days that wasn't clean and press but still fun.How can you incorporate get ups into Giant 1.0 or Easy Muscle A C & P plan? Do them as warm up? Or on off days? I think get ups help shoulder health with the high volume of C & P?

Been going with push presses for the sets of 3, strict presses for the singles and a rep of each for the sets of 2.So I've started Giant 3.0 with 2x24kg bells.
Doing 20 minute sessions and on the day of singles did strict presses and got 9 reps. On the day with sets of 3 did push presses and managed 5 sets for 15 reps.
On the day of doubles coming up may try to do a strict press on the first rep and a push press on the second perhaps. Feels like I'll have perhaps 7 sets in the tank for 38 in the week.
Anyone else done 3.0 at this low volume? What sort of progress did you manage?

First week I got 36 reps. Second week I'm up to 43.
Can feel the Giant magic working, the cleans feel much easier already and I'm working hard on all the 1% improvements in form that I seem to be finding out with these heavier bells.
Great stuff. Hoping to comfortably hit 50+ reps in week 4 and then repeat with all strict presses.
You can switch to easy muscle or stack giant with DFSQ diabloI completed the first part of STRONG, now I can press more than I can front squat. Any recommendations for a more "balanced" program?
A quick suggestion, @MikeMoran :Running Giant 3.0 now with 2x28kgs. The 1-2 rep days I can manage okay. The 3 rep day was not happening with Double. I switched it to Single and I was able to get 7 sets per side. That was week 2. Slow and steady we go.
Hey Geoff! Actually what I found was that I needed about an inch more of a wider stance and after that the triples were very doable! Thanks for the tip though!!!A quick suggestion, @MikeMoran :
Instead of switching to singles, perform sets of 3 using 2x C+P and 1x C+PP, using an active negative back to the rack.
Soon enough it'll turn into sets of 3x C+PP.
Appreciate it! I actually do have a training log on here. It should be linked in my signature. It's a big help I've noticed, also great way to connect and learn.Good luck @YourArsenal23 ! I think you’ll get some solid gains. Idk if you have considered a training log on here but I feel a big benefit from them.
Man, I even clicked on your bio to find it. I think being mobile only kills seeing the sigAppreciate it! I actually do have a training log on here. It should be linked in my signature. It's a big help I've noticed, also great way to connect and learn.
