As the title suggests, after my Giant 1.0 session, I thought about what effects/adaptations might occur from doing the program with 10rm Double Thrusters instead of Clean and Presses… The thought came from the natural inclination many people seem to have upon looking at the Giant program, what about the squats? Like me, I found out quickly that adding any real squat volume on off days hindered recovery and performance.
So, I had a thought…. What might an experiment of doing a Giant series (1.0–>1.1–>1.2–>2.0) with Double Thrusters yield as far as results? I think I’m going to give it a go after this cycle.
I’d imagine it’d produce results where fat loss and even muscle gain is concerned, as the Thruster would be a new stimulus for me and more of a power focus exercise. They’re also brutal so I’d imagine it’d give you the conditioning of a ufc lightweight.
Please chime in, I’d love to know your thoughts.
