I’ve been very pleased with S&S. I’ve been doing it for two straight weeks now, and have only taken Sundays off. Been using my 24kg for both the swings and getups and here is what I’ve noticed as benefits:
- Grip has improved tremendously. Also purchased some extensor training bands from Ironmind and I think this helps a lot with that too
- Everything is much crisper with my technique. Doing swings daily hasn’t been in my routine until S&S but I think this is just what the evil russian doctor ordered
- My getups have gotten progressively easier and my shoulders feel like solid granite rocks now
- Weird one to mention but….my glutes are much tighter now
Been working in the 28kg in the swings as well as I plan to move up to that one before the 32kg. Overall, I’m very pleased with where I am only 2 weeks into it. The swings are getting much easier and conditioning is improving as I am able to complete 100 swings with the 24kg in 5 minutes. This will carry over into my snatch test which I still have yet to complete (never give up!). I can tell that the crisper powerful hip snaps are going to translate really well into my snatches.
Only disadvantage I can think of is I’ve gained a bit of weight. I’m pretty sure it’s all muscle however as my clothes seem to fit differently. Just mad that I’m back over 200 again, by one pound! I think the more I go into this that more fat will shed off however.
Will update again in 2-3 weeks with more results!
