Hi guys,
I really appreciate the StrongFirst forums and I am reading for months here now. I worked through S&S to timeless simple standard the last year, then switched to Q&D with my 24 kg kettlebell. The training really rocks.
But now to my question - since I was traveling before corona a lot and did not always have my kettlebell available - do you guys have any idea for a swing substitute for Q&D? The jumping squat was already discussed here but adds a lot of strain to the knees. Springs are also discussed - but not always possible for me. I mean, okay, you can sprint everywhere.. But a bodyweight exercise I can do in small space in my hotel room instead of running outside would be really nice.
What do you think about burpees as substitute? 5 or 10 burpees instead of swings, like mentioned in the Q&D protocols, together with the push ups.
