In my case
Ive been grappling for years. Generally speaking with the same few dozen people over and over again.
When I took up S&S and worked up to using the 24kg I started beating people pretty easily that were competitive in the past.
Recently I took up S&S on a regular basis after a series of injuries from grappling that kept me from doing it consistently. As I approach timeless simple again the strength and conditioning on the mats is quite noticeable and I am submitting people who would have been a stalemate 3 months ago.
Its anecdotal but I believe it will do the same for most people who grapple. FWIW.
Hello,
As a disclaimer, I will never be as experienced in running / moutain biking / cycling as @vegpedlr @offwidth @ohnbye but from what I have noticed to this day, which does not necessarily concerns only Q&D:
- when I added burpees to my regular routine, my running increase
- when I stopped burpees, to do swings (S&S) instead, my running keep increasing
- when I stopped S&S, to do rucking, my running keep increasing
Nonetheless, my times / distances depends on
- how I feel this day (sometimes I just walk a lot during the day, so I tackle the training while not being fresh)
- if the terrain is easy (dry, etc...) I can go long and fast
- if it rains, or if the terrain is full of mud, etc... I do not go that fast
What I just want to say is that it is sometimes difficult to say "I run better since I do X". Most of the time, this is a combination of factors. For instance, I stopped doing burpees even if I was progressing well using them. I just wanted to switch the routine. Does that mean that swings are "more effective" than burpees ?
There are also a difference between an "anecdote" and a general rule. I think in ETK, it is mentioned that C&P training can lead to a one arm chin up. Well, of course it can help to an extent, but saying that it necessarily leads to it...
Kind regards,
Pet'
