One of the reasons I like S&S is that its so simple and almost daily frequency becomes a nice habit. Its also very flexible and if during a a busy week you manage to get in just a couple of sessions, its ok.
Im at timeless simple and I did my first get up with a 36kg a week ago. While I understand its worthwhile to keep progressing in some way, Im not sure which way is the best for my situation. My weeks are very different. One week I might have lots of time and I could do 6 sessions and allow myself to recover nicely. Next week I might have a golf competition and I also want to practise, so Im struggling to get in 3 sessions and still be fresh to play.
So, If person a) does S&S session with 32kg bell 2-6 times a week and lets say the average is 4,5 times a week and person b) does S&S with a 40kg bell 3 times a week, what pros and cons would you say each method has? The one who is using 40kg has gotten stronger, but what if the one using 32kg also strong enough for hes/her needs, but has other benefits because of more frequent training? I wonder if there is sort of a sweet spot where one can use as heavy bell as possible while keeping the frequency as high as possible... ? Any thoughts?
