Don't know if anyone has been following Hector's "Strong as Hec" site but I stumbled upon it last month. I've been trying to get steadily back into kettlebell training on and off all the past year. Been doing dumbbell/barbell work instead and nursing some injuries.
Did a round of the ROP last year and had hopes of doing another round of Strong and life got in the way and training got derailed.
After reading through Hector's site, I decided to use one of his free programs, "workout snacks" using the double bell clean and press. It's very similar to "Strong" which I like in that it gives a quick workout using a big bang for buck movement (Plan 803A).
About to finish week three day three and am enjoying a rekindling of kettlebell training. (I'm using double 36s, initially started with double 40s but realized quickly my base skill level and strength isn't what it was. Hell, I'm also 53 now!)
May use this 803A to jump start going into phase two of strong using the "short course" rather than "slow and steady" which I used my last time through and tackling phase 3 with the 36s which I didn't do.
Admittedly I miss Geoff Neupert and his writings and emails however between Hector and Chris Lopez, Geoff s style of programming lives on.
