Apologies if this has been asked before.
Is there a particular reason swings (ballistic) precede get-ups (grind) in S&S?
What is the trade-off in switching the order: get-ups first, followed by swings?
There is a link within that old thread that @Steve Freides says it is required reading, but the link is broken - is it still out there somewhere?
That’s it, thanks. I figured there was a good reason for the change in focus/order from ETK to S&S, and it makes sense.Yes, I believe the thread you're looking for is this, @Sean M:
Is this right?
Link in old forum posts are dead for the most part because all the URL's are now different. I am, however, more than happy to correct individual cases as they come up. Please confirm that this is what you were looking for.
For anyone techie following along, here's how I found the link - I went to Google and put the following into the Search box:
is this right site:strongfirst.com/community
Google searches differently than the built-in forum search, and it's a very useful adjunct to know about. The built-in forum search prioritizes recent posts, so finding things in the old forum isn't always successful.

What if I'm not sure I care about power?
As I understand, power is one of the first things to go as you get older, that's why some strength coaches always include a power exercise for their older clients. And I'm sure I read that there's a link between power and longevity but I can't remember the source.What if I'm not sure I care about power? I'm a 40-something with a mostly sedentary job, and I have no need for explosive power generation - there's really nothing athletic or "tactical" in my life.
