I am 33 year old male from Norway. I have been training since I was 16 years old. Thanks to too many goals that I wanted to work on at the same time, I have had relatively modest results despite all these years of training. I am 6 feet and 2 inches and 82 kilograms.
I have taken the one day Strong first Kettlebell introduction program and had 6 hours private coaching With a SFG 2 instructor. (It was very useful)
I also would like to become a little bit leaner, and much stronger.
These are some of my achievements this far strengthwise:
100 kilos bench press
16 kilos pistol squat
2 OAPU
Simple
4 reps kettlebell press With the 32 kilo
These are some of my strength goals that I hope to achieve during this Lifetime:
Planche
Sinister
Press the beast
Secret Service Snatch test
V-sit
Power -Wheel roll out from the toes.
Dragon flag
Learn bent press
General good Health and well-being.

My two primary goals that I have been working on for a while are:
One-arm push up (more reps and more solid technique)
Power Wheel roll out from the toes.
**
My training looks like this:
Almost all days I try to do ten minutes of static stretching of the hamstring, hip flexors, uper back, shoulders, glutes and lower back.
As a warm up I do some of the flexible steel excersises and goblet squat With 16 kilo.
Once a week I try to go for a longer walk preferably With a backpack, this might be for an hour or maybe longer.
My main training program looks like this:
2 days of training
1 day of rest
2 days of training
1 day of rest
etc etc
Day 1:
Warm up
+ L-sit
+ some easy planche training
+ some easy training for the victorian cross ( I know I will probably never achieve it, but still fun to play With it)
+ some easy training for the maltese cross (The same as With the victorian cross, although not as impossible as victorian cross, still quite impossible)
Some technical training for the KB snatch two sets or something.
S&S
Day 2:
OAPU (following the Soju and Tuba press program)
Power Wheel roll out (not sure what kind of progression to follow)
Kettlebell front squat
Bottom up clean
One arm rows.
Some shoulder training for the posterior of the shoulders just to keep them healthy.
Biceps curl.
As you might see I still feel I struggle With working on too many goals at the same time, so I am not achieving the simplicity that I would like. That being said I have been on this program for 5 months and it has made me achieve the OAPU and the 16 kilo pistol squat.
One of the changes I have made is that I used to try to Train every single day. This worked quite well, but I also found it a bit annoying to always have to traing every single day, and training started to feel like an obligation, so I reduced the frequency and this has given me more appreciation of my training time.
Please comment and I hope this blog might be of help or inspiration for someone.
