This time last year I was peppering in the 32. Can't remember exactly where I was in that process but I figured I would tick the simple box by the end of the year, going on previous time with the 24 and adding a bit. I picked up a hamstring injury which derailed that deadline. As I had an imposed break I kicked started the new year with Dan John's 10, 000 swings, rightly or wrongly, partly as a challenge and also to brush up on some double practice. I have since been on S&S with the 32 since March, no other strength training. I can get the simple standard for the swings now but not with the get ups and am just going to nail the swings whilst the get ups catch up......everyone is different, different starting strength, different weaknesses, age/youth, injuries, lifestyles etc. Deadlines are good for some, not for others.....imposing unachievable goals could be counter-productive, causing you to push for something, way, way beyond your current capability and potentially even your future or desired capability. At a point, could be the 32, the 24 or the 40, presumably as that is way out of my league just now, progress is slower, much slower than a previous bell and it becomes a significantly greater load to your system. Hats off to those who can blast through the simple standards and onwards but it doesn't diminish the efforts made by others who may take a bit longer. The 32 is my 1/2 bodyweight press, so to some that may be the 40.....in which case the 32 will be less of a demand and may take less time, so perhaps it is unwise to have an endpoint in mind. I was out, by a year! Maybe even more! We'll see........
