I’ll try to make this concise but w all the relevant info. I’m a recovering skinny fat guy who has been training more seriously for a few years now. I’m 6’2” and 215lbs. I reached the simple goal (for time) more than a year ago. I spent the last three months doing a Starting Strength style linear progression and moved my compound lift numbers meaningfully to gear up for a timeless Sinister push. I’m working w the 36 and 40kg bells. TGU’s are strong. My weakest links seem to be grip strength and keeping shoulders packed in tight, both of which show up in the 1h swings. I started w some grippers, per an older podcast I heard w Pavel T.
I chronically over complicate programming so I’m hesitant to deviate from the protocol without feedback. Would anyone recommend complimentary movements w S&S protocol? Or stay tried and true?
And what do you all recommend for caloric intake? Slight surplus? I can’t seem to strike the right balance and feel like I’m plateauing.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
