Hello! I am a noob so forgive me for some of what may be obvious questions. I've lurked around on this forum a little and it seems as if there's a great community of helpful people here, so I'm looking forward to being a part of it!
I just purchased Simple and Sinister and have a 35lbs Kettlebell. Over the years I've almost exclusively trained bodyweight exercises and some dumbbells and bands here and there, my own variations, or programs like P90X (I know, cheesy!) I fell off from fitness for a little well, but have fell back into it the last few months. I have never done Kettlebell anything before but I'm super stoked about learning!
I am currently training for a GoRuck Tough Challenge event in the middle of March, my goal is to get stronger as I prepare for that event. I know pushups are a big part of the event, as well as a lot of rucking (hiking with a weighted back, about 35lbs or so).
My question is two fold:
- Is there a way I can follow the S&S Program and still incorporate bodyweight exercises (pushups and pullups) as well as my weighted hiking?
- In an older video Pavel only mentioned having one 35lbs kettlebell to begin for the inexperienced male. The book says I should also have a 53lbs kettlebell, is it possible to still get started with only one 35lbs kettlebell?
Thank you in advance for your help and patience!
