First things first. This is my first post here, but I´ve been quite some time.
I have a history of powerlifting and before that a decade with krav maga and thai boxing. For about 3 months I had a few issues with life that forced me to re-think life and while that process was going on I realized that powerlifting was more of a thing I did, not because I loved the sport but instead the identification to been seen as strong. Life got the better of me and I stopped lifting and started running, and it felt amazing! I did not spend countless hours in the gym anymore, now I was flying though the forrest not caring about muscle atrophy or how great my bench was. I was alive.
Later I started doing some reading about kettle bell. Read ETK, S&S, Kettlebell training by Steve Cotter and countless of articles here and on DD. I started doing kettle bell training with no goal in mind and was truly amazed when the TGU humbled me after doing it with just a shoe at first. I have deadlifted well over 2xBW for reps but this little evil killed me. I was in love! Not long after came the swing. I really got my whammies going and my heart a race! Later on I have added clean and presses and just love it all!
Recently I found Phil Ross: the dirty dozen. A mix with kettlebells and bodyweight exercises. I´ve added bodyweight squats, pushups and pull-ups to my arsenal. Im looking to start training pistols and bridges next week. Damn, its so fun to train again. Gone are the barbells (yes, I know they are a great tool, but I have been doing to long and lost the love for it) and now its time to excell in the kettlebell, bodyweight training and running. I´ve lost close to 10kg and I love how I feel. Perhaps a bit weaker in the big three but who cares when my overall fitness level has gone up by a mile.
To my question. Here are the link to the exercises The “Dirty Dozen” Exercises (Part 1) by Phil Ross
I try to follow Dan John basic human movement for every sessions (about 3 KB/BW sessions per week) with loaded carries, a squat, a hinge, a pull and a push. But I have failed to organize the exercises in the dirty dozen to a solid routine. Can you help me sort this out?
Please, I know that S&S probably is better and all that, but my primary focus is to enjoy training again by doing the stuff I love, so no need to put me on a program that resembles starting strength with barbells, I´ve been down that path before
