Hello,
@Pavel Macek , @Al Ciampa
A while ago, I stumbled accross this article on SF blog, written by Eric Frohardt:
On Youtube, I also found the following video (here, the first 8 minutes relates to kettlebell training):
To sum everything up a little bit, he says he did RoP with the 24kg bell. Nonetheless, he also says that RoP session never lasted more than 40 minutes. In the article, he mentioned he performed the 5 ladders of 5 as well
I have absolutely no doubt he actually did it, but the session durations surprise me, even for some kind of "tactical elite athlete".
Therefore, based on your experience as a coach for pro athletes (among others), do you think this is "possible" ? Or possible only based on some certain conditions ?
I am also amazed by the results of such a "little weight", we we see how he performed for running, pull ups, etc...doing just RoP. Is it mainly due to the RoP training volume ?
I currently train for long lasting events (OCRs) in the mountains with a daily and steady diet of heavy OA swing, presses and pull ups. As you see, this is pretty "GPP oriented". Do you think RoP may also work then ?
Thanks !

Somewhere in central Iraq, I stopped in my tracks. I had read about the what the hell effect but was not sure if I believed it. I did now.
