First Post
Greetings,
This is my first post here, I’ve been really impressed with all of the information I’ve read so far. Please forgive me if this topic has been covered...
I am doing Simple right now, 2.5 weeks in. I usually swing 55# and tgu 45#.
Today I was pressed for time so I tried to squeeze in a session in 20 minutes. I did 60 swings at 45#, and 10 tgu at 45#. This evening I read this article about heart rate and simple and sinister Simple & Sinister + Heart Rate Training | StrongFirst. When I looked at my heart rate data from that session, I noticed the my heart rate peaked at target for a moment, but the majority of the work was well under target. I did not rest very much between sets and some of them I did 20 reps on the swing. My question is, can you do more reps in a set if you’re not hitting target heart rate? Is that still antiglycotic?
I know this isn’t the way simple is supposed to be, this is the first time I lowered my bell weight and didn’t do 100 swings, but I felt like I needed to do the session because I was a little toasted yet still wanted some active recovery.

Michael
