Glycolytic session - 100 swings in 5 mins, 10 get-ups in 10 mins. I took a bit longer break between the swings and the get-ups, though - it is my first session in the new cycle, chasing the clock. But not that much longer - about 2-3 mins. Not easy, but not hard. Good.

Hello,

@Pavel Macek
I have a probably fairly stupid question:
As you progressively reduced the S&S frequency (from daily with Simple) to 2-3-4 times a week after (then with heavier weights), did you try here and there a max press or deadlift or whatever to see improvements ?

I ask because, probably stupidly, I was wondering if up to a certain point, there is a "diminishing return": one keep progressing with S&S due to specialization, but not progressing that much for other lifts ?

Kind regards,

Pet'

Pet,

- I reduced it from daily practice to 4 times and later 3 times a week. 2 times a week would be just maintenance - for improvement, it is not enough.
- as I am not pressing or deadlifting at all, I did not - if I were, I am very confident I would at least approach, meet, or even surpass my 1RM. But - SAID principle applies: S&S has a great WTH transfer, but you need to practice the other specific lifts (Eas Strength type of training). Anyway, I can do 1/2 BW military press or 2xBW DL any time.
- "diminishing returns" apply - as 48 and 56 kg are relatively heavy for my BW (68 kg), the improvement is slower - but I am still getting stronger, I have great recovery between the sessions, and it has great transfer to my combat arts training. Hence - why to fix something which ain't broken, plus - I still keep the goal the goal (timed Sinister). I do not care about my 1RM in other lifts at all.

56 kg one arm swings - not bad. 48 kg one-arm swings after 56 kg - awesome. That is the goal.
