Hello comrades, lately my arms have been feeling incredible pain which has ultimately weakened my lifts. How long shall I rest on simple and sinister and not decrease my progression? I want to go back as soon as possible because I simply hate not training.
the book seems to indicate a hypothetical minimum 2 days per week, but one has to gauge their ownership of what's going on with your goals in training and how your progress is manifesting.
for example: I've been experiencing pain in my right forearm around my wrist, so I've backed off in the swing and the pain has subsided. as dan john replied to a person complaining that squats hurt their back, he retorted: NO, doing squats doesn't hurt your back; doing squats the way you do squats hurts your back.
I've found that tweaking my own timing, alignment, and finding different cues as my body changes, is something i have to be in tune with regularly. I've been able to fix a lot of joint pain by filming myself and critiquing my form . there's still too much that's obvious to me to feel the need to require others to add input when i can see obvious areas of improvement. But, I digress.
My backing off from the swing is in response to the section of S&S 2.0 where there's a discussion of
hard style laziness. I think i was taking the cue for the down swing too hard, and maybe I was overdoing the activation of my lats and putting some unnecessary torque on my arm and wrist as i think of breaking the handle of the kettle bell in half. I think that was a great cue at first to find lat activation, but i may have over thought it in the long run. So , now i lightly time some added influence from my lats further after the mid air pause; and my wrist is feeling better.
i hope these thoughts of adjusting the cues that you're thinking of during the exercise are helpful .
Edit: me first day I did all 100 swings and ten get ups and my body demanded the next three days off.
