- 34 year old male, full time personal trainer
- 2 kids and a wife
- no known injuries
- definitely a fool for 'Shiny Objects'
Goal:
- 1/2 bodyweight Press
- Sinister
After reading Things are going so wel, help me screw it up, I am going to focus on Sinister training via S&S 2.0. The article describes that the first time using S&S you can add a 15-30 minute practice before the S&S session. So I'm going to add 15 minutes of practice in kettlebells, barbells, maces and clubbells and will finish of with the swings and Get Up's.
Sinister is something I had on my mind for a long time, and started it in the first lockdown. After breaking my toes switched to Rite Of Passage. As someone who's a lot of time in the gym, I would like to show the results of just focussing (really focussing) on just two exercises and reap the benefits and WTH effects. In contrary toward the mentality of varying a standing bicep curl for a seated bicep curl every 4 week (brett jones joke). When I switched from almost Solid (40 kg) to Rite of Passage, I noticed that my pressing strength was really low after only swings and get ups. So this time, I want to spent a little focus on maintaining my press strength and frequently practice all the modalities i'm using in my sessions with actual clients. Just maintaining the groove and enjoy.

Goal:
- 1/2 bodyweight Press
- Sinister
Program: modified Enter The Kettlebell Plus.
I really like this program, but because of the length of the original article, I find it difficult to completely adhere to it. Especially the weights in the article, if I can do a heavy weight for 3, why should I use 50% of the weight for max of 5 reps, with an added time constraint.
Adaptation:
- I'm using the weight ladders from Fabio's 'Simple strength for difficult times - part 2'
- Ballistic day: the heavy day I will use the original ladders. The medium and easy day I will use a A+A variation
- Active recovery: I do 5x 1+1 Get up in Step cycle format on Sundays.
- A Barbell Military Press in Press category.
- A Barbell Zercher Squat in Squat category.
- More variation in squat exercises.
