So I've been working on S+S since mid May, with the exception of a couple of weeks holiday, I've been working steadily away, posting 5 sessions a week. I was badly out of shape when I started, so I kicked things off with a 16kg and took it from there. As a basic guide my progression in weight has looked something like this:
May - 16kg swings and TGU
June - 20kg swings - 16kg TGU
July - 24kg Swings - 24kg TGU, last week of July gradually inserting 32kg into 1-2 sets of swings
August to date - 24kg swings - 24kg TGU, last 10 days have progressed so that last three sets of swings each arm are using 32kg, and last three sets of TGU are also done with 32kg.
I'm really enjoying the journey, but am I progressing too conservatively? I feel now that if I took a little more rest between sets I could be upping the sets with the 32kg, but am also not wanting to over reach. I know everyone will progress at different rates, but is there a general guide for how long one takes to hit Timeless / Timed Simple?
