Good morning all,
I'm a 32 yo, male, 68 inches, and approx. 225 lbs at about 18% bf. I've been involved in various physical pursuits such as Crossfit, kettle bells, powerlifting, Army pt, etc. for the past 6 yrs. or so. I'm an Army aircrew member, so I'm focused on maximizing my pt score (to get out of organized pt), mobility (to combat all the sitting), strengthening the posterior chain (to combat the deleterious effects of all the sitting with helmet and body armor), improving body composition, and generally pursuing something physically challenging.
My question is this: after I accomplish the performance goals of S&S with a 24 kg, what's next? Since I'm in a deployed state, I only have access to a 24 kg for the next nine months. Would it be beneficial to keep cranking out 100 one arm swings and 10 TGU/day for the remainder of the deployment even if I achieve the 5 min and 10 min time standards one month from now? I've considered doing the ROP with the 24 to see how far I get into the snatch test and pressing ladders, but it has been suggested by many to achieve the simple goal of S&S before moving on. So what to do?
