I’m currently following a strongfirst A+A snatch plan and am thinking about using GTG naked warrior as my main supplementary strength work. I also walk/ruck 3-5 hours per week, which doesn’t eat into my recovery.
I am currently able to do a full pistol and did 25 last week. I find OAOLPU flat with fingertip assistance from the other hand to be the sweet spot for a single, I did 6 yesterday. I must confess I haven’t reread naked warrior in some time, so my apologies if some of this is covered in the book.
Rationale:

Rationale:
- I’m out of the house 12+ hours per day, 4 days per week. Training before work on these days is always a squeeze. I have potentially 16+ opportunities per day to GTG
- Pistols keep my hip happy for rucking
- My hands appreciate the break from gripping outside of snatches
- It’s a simple, contained and proven system
- These skills have always improved more quickly than KB grinds, making them low hanging fruit
- Build a general base of strength with carryover to KB grinds
- Improve my press
- SFG1 in 8 months at the earliest - no rush
- Fill in the gaps left by snatches with non-competing movements
- Do the naked warrior skills have an appreciable carryover to KB front squats and presses?
- What has your experience been with long term, exclusive or nearly exclusive GTG naked warrior + KB ballistics?
- What is a reasonable number of total sets per day/week with respect to CNS fatigue?
- Do any weekly volume waving programs exist?
- Would GTG for 4 consecutive days followed by a ‘break’ (with the bulk of my other training) for 3 consecutive days be reasonable?
