If there's something i've learned the last 8 weeks, as I draw close to my second complete cycle of Wendlers 531, it's that following shit with a certain degree of disciplin and faith works. Of course it's got to be good shit, but sifting through the sand to find the gems is half the fun anyway.
I had this plan of buying a barbell and just doing olympic lifts solidly over xmas, with some hill sprints, farmers walks, kettlebells and biking thrown into the mix. Simple and fun.
Could I simplify this even further?? A barbell is bloody expensive with a set of plates too.
How about, yes. Kettlebells, and a little program called the Rite of Passage. This consists of a pull... and a press. Simple. Fun? I'll just add in farmers walks, hill sprints, biking and running. Get in.
I'll be following this for the 4 weeks - to the letter, which is actually much easier than fucking around with it.. something that adds baggage to the mind, and just labels you ADHD.
RoP for Xmas:
mon: light clean and press and snatches
tues: whatever the hell I want to do
wed: medium C+P and swings
thurs: rest
fri: heavy C+P and to-limit swings
sat: rest
sun: whatever
Increase each week. Going to attempt C+P with a 32kg.
Presses to be done in 'ladders'... swings to be timed.
So yeah, I'm excited because it's too simple to be true.
