@bankuei 2 жыл бұрын
@@MarkWildman He tends to focus mostly on programming and suggestions for folks in a fairly wide range of physicality levels. I think his 'Bulgarian Goatbag Swings' are a nice variant for folks who want a more grind instead of ballistic hinge movement for swings, and goblet squat curls are a good combo. His "Humane Burpee" is a nice option to spare people's joints who want to avoid some of the issues around the classic Burpee. Dan John is a very big proponent of weighted carries though I don't think there's much new to say other than changes in programming/additional movements to pair with them. His Q&A videos are usually 2-4 minutes and well labeled by topic, so you might want to just poke around his channel a bit and see fi anything piques your interest.

I like to do this with just one medium weight kettlebell for a 5 minute warm-up, but I do both sides within a minute. This leaves about 20 seconds of rest. After 5 minutes I feel the main movements (pushing, hinging, squatting) are well-warmed up and the heart rate is up as well, but because of the low number of reps per movement you aren’t fatigued in any of these movements yet. For the main workout I prefer working the nerd math though, but this workout is nice to switch things up once in a while.

Absolutely trying this out tomorrow. Question though: when I’m using the single KB do I need that minute of rest in between since the one side isn’t firing as much when the other side is loaded? Can I go right into the other side 2, 1, 3 and repeat for 10 minutes? ….We shall see.. I know this post is a year old but I’ve been following your recommendation of 10 min swings, and get ups 4-6 times a week for about 6 months now and I’ve never felt better about exercising at 30 years old. I’ll try this tomorrow and see if I need that minute of rest in between switching sides. I’m really not of fan of long workouts so the 20 min is ideal. Thanks for all you do and your input. It’s much appreciated!

Great complex and a lot of variations if you choose to experiment. With the single KB version I would tame the squats a bit to maybe 2 per set. Otherwise the ratio of squats will get skewed a bit. In a 10 minute EMOM you will do 2x the # of squats vs the 2 KB version....

Fantastic to see you referencing Dan John's work, I do see a lot of similarities in both of your philosophies of training.

I've found when training some more well endowed women, they have trouble with a front rack position and have to move it more to the sides.
