Was looking for a suitable thread for general S&S discussion but couldn’t really find one that was a catch-all, rather lots of separate threads.
I quite enjoy the other threads for The Giant / RoP / STRONG! etc where people can just generally chat and share experiences of the program as they are going through it without it needing to be directed question and answers.
If there’s a thread already then I’m happy to have a link to that one and I will bump it with whatever general thoughts I’ve got.
I’ve started S&S after a really hectic time in my life where I’ve had a few non-training shoulder and low back problems due to poor posture and not taking care when picking up and carrying my daughter!
Decided to start right back at the start where now I’ve done a few sessions with the 16kg of 2HS and TGU, working from 4 sets of 10 up to 8 sets of 10 so far. Once I get to 10 sets of 10 I’ll start incorporating the 1HS before then step-loading up to 24kg.
Last session I really got the ‘refreshed’ feeling that I want after workouts, rather than feeling beaten up by whatever I was sporadically doing before. It was nice, was in a high all day and helped me be productive in work/life afterwards. Sadly I don’t have time to run it more than 3 times per week so we’ll see how that goes or if I will need to try and find time to add more.
Plan on staying the course on S&S for the next few months to half a year or so, until I’ve owned the 24kg which is my heaviest bell (own 2x16 and 2x24).
Anyone else here currently running it? And anyone at the beginner level like I am?
