@Pavel Macek im curious to learn about the arm bar to bretzel arm bar in your warm up. I am doing S&S and do a getup with ASLR with ankle rotations and hip/shoulder rotations where I go into the arm bar also. I then do goblets and hip bridges. I practice my bretzel stretches at night as I am a golfer thoracic mobility is very important to me Is there a video or description? Thank you and happy new year!
Very cool thank you. I like to tie in as much as I can to the getup. Always seems to feel good! I’m going to give that a try tomorrow during my movement prep!Something I am experimenting with. Bend the bottom leg, heel toward your head, extend your hip. Brettzel arm bar?
Just an idea I came up with today when I was doing the bent arm bar, and thought about Brett Jones’ explanation of rib pull > Brettzel progression (challenging the opposite hip in the Brettzel), and thought - damn, the straight leg is kind of lazy in the bent armbar, so I bent it, extended the bottom hip, and well, it felt pretty good!
Get into the Brettzel arm bar position, bend and lift your leg, release and put it back on the floor. Repeat. You will get great glute/hamstring activation, and you will notice that the kettlebell hand is sinking lower.

@Pavel Macek Just out of curiosity, could you lay out what programs you have followed in the past few years? Said another way, what does your training history look like before starting this log. I reread your history section on your first log post, and I am curious because I like following other’s training and training histories. Thanks!
Good to read that you keep the old school alive, Pavel.Weakend: SDS Dumbbell Minimum
After a lot of research, practice, reading, practice, email correspondence and more practice I have finally launched today my old-school dumbbell lifting 'pet project' and taught the very first SDS Dumbbell Minimum workshop.
I hope that Attila, Krajewski, Sandow, Hack, Maxick, Monte Saldo, Pullum, Inch, Saxon, Klein, Grimek, Hepburn, Anderson and many, many others smile from above and are happy that their art is not forgotten.

Hello,
@Pavel Macek
First off, I wish you a good trip !
I have a little question: when you are on a trip like that and use TNW, do you go for GTG "as per the book" ? Or do you do some kind of " regular training session" with a fixed number of sets / reps ?
Thanks !
Kind regards,
