I'd like to unpack this section (Kindle location 1135) of S&S 2.0 regarding Timeless Simple:
Is it applicable to someone simply out of practice with heavy get-ups? E.g. my first 32kg getup recently, after a long time since last doing one, was a little rusty. But after a few sessions of 28,32,28,28,28, it is already quite solid again.
How might this look in practice for an applicable "seasoned athlete highly in tune with his/her body"? Adding a set weekly? Every 3rd or 4th session? Every two weeks? "It depends" ?
When I originally worked up from 16kg through 32kg I wasn't sticking to a rigid 4-week progression plan like the book now lays out (and it would not have hurt to go that slow). Adding weight systematically wasn't my sticking point, it was compressing the rest periods. I progressed by feel, adding weight to the next set approximately once every two weeks on average I'd say.
What are some signs/markers of being "highly in tune" with one's body as it relates to step-load progression?
Is it a case of, "If you are wondering if this applies to you...it does not"?Customize the Rate of Progression
Is there ever a reason to advance faster or slower than specified above, four weeks per step?
...Faster, only if you are a seasoned athlete highly in tune with your body.
