I have been on the SS program for past 3 months, starting with 24 kg swings and a 35 lb DB for get ups and close to achieving the simple goal with the 32.
By close I mean getting the 100 swings in 6 to 7 mins most sessions and can get to 5 mins if I “push it” – which I know means I “don’t own this yet”.
I get the 10 TGUs in 10 minutes and am very pleased that I can do this with a 32 – which I thought was near impossible frankly when I started with a 35 lb DB.
Last week I tried 2 SS sessions where I plugged in a 77.9 lb bell (32 with a 5 lb and 2.5 lb plate duck-taped) for 1 set of TGUs.
They were challenging but I got them and felt good.
I just bought a 36 kb bell, so I would like to continue the SS program with the next goal of “owning the 36”.
For swings, the 32 will keep me busy for a while until I can own the simple goal but will start to mix in the 36 slowly in September
For TGUs, I thought to try one of these 2 approaches for the next few weeks
- 1 x 36, 4 x 32….then move to more depending on how I feel
- Or > 1 with the 36 to the standing position only
Any other suggestions?
thanks
