As I’ve progressed (thanks to @Sean Griffin and @Grant Anderson amazing programming) - I’ve noticed it’s harder to level up on the big bells (40kg/44kg/48kg) with 10x10 EMOM. I’m finding I’m sacrificing form to get it done in time. I know @Grant Anderson has said not to worry about time, technique is key- but am I sacrificing the cardio gains (leaning up) if I don’t keep up EMOM? I have a tendency to say “just man up and do it…punk” But, I wanted input from my betters on what my mind set should be as I’m trying to reach and own that 48kg. Thanks!!!!

I have been consistently analyzing the paradigms and frameworks shared by KT on social media, and it's an understatement to say that they contain a treasure chest of training pearls. While they provide the necessary methods for training and progression across multiple movements, further dissection is required to identify the essential and implied tasks needed to create a complete lifelong training regimen. This can only be achieved if individuals are committed and clearly defined their short-term, intermediate, and long-term goals. After dedicating 150 days to the Flagship model, I wanted to incorporate my 35 years of various training experiences and models from other disciplines into KT's approach. As a result, I have created a novel 12-week program founded on the Flagship model. I have translated the roadmap to the 48kg getup and an upper body-focused KB press/pull ladder strategy into the flagship model. The core elements of the Flagship model remain the same: train four times a week, with sessions that last less than 50 minutes, and include an optional "Finisher" for those days when you want to push yourself further. I am excited about this block of training and the strength to follow! Stay tuned here for training updates. ⚒️

Have not posted in a while. Worked up to: (Using the Flagship Program) ( 4 x per week) - 2 hand swings with 40 kg (going to 48kg) - TGU 40 kg, (couldn't get all of the 10 TGUs with 40kg). Hit a wall, felt weak. Started to do 1 hand swings: (3 to 4 x per week) - 1 hand swings with 24 kg (going to 28kg) - TGU 32 kg Last week I took a deload week because I have had a lot of stress in my life. (3 x on the week) - 2 hand swings with 28 kg - TGU with 28 kg This next week I will begin working my way up to heavier 1 hand swings. (4 x per week) - 1 hand swings 24 kg (Heavier KB of 28 kg) - TGU 32 kg (Heavier KB of 40 kg) Ive been rejected from the 40 kg TGUs maybe I can just work myself up with these "lower" bells with the 1 hand swings, after all it is less weight on my frame even if it is harder with only one hand. Any suggestions of how to proceed? @Grant Anderson

Hey I did like 10 kettle bell swings with a 60 lb kettle bell......my lower back was feeling uncomfortable I wouldn't use the term pain yet.......and my neck too had a little bit of pain in it........so naturally I stopped I am just testing out the movement......I was trying to keep my back and head aligned and pivot at the waist.......I never felt like I did this movement properly............anyone have any advice on how to do these movements properly and did this situation happen to anyone else?

I have two small children and a wife that works shift work. So I’ve been getting into that habit that whenever I have 20-30 min of some downtime in the evening to just push myself to get to swinging the bells. Even if it’s not a great workout, something is better than nothing.
