Yesterday, this was my work out. 4 Turkish Getups with the 28 KG, 4 sets of pressing the 20 kg, 6 times each arm. In between I did 15 swings with the 28 KG. Then I continued to complete 170 swings with the 28 KG plus 30 one arm swings with the 20 KG mixed in. I also did some high tension goblet squats with the 28 KG.

I tried the toe touch reach and all of these exercises seemed to net a positive reach.

Josh – I haven’t read any of Riptoes work so I’ll start with Starting Strength.

Your beard is awesome. As someone who is required to shave, i am big fan of them.

I recommend larger exercise indexs- because what you test is limited by what drills you know of. Instead of starting you on another book, alloe me to suggest a way to get the most of your ETK book. Start each workout with a question- should i press, should i swing, should i do get ups ect. Test each movement on its own merit and see which ones are giving you a positive response for that day. Try this for a month,and let me know how it works. You may find one day is great for pressing and face the wall squats, another day swings and get ups are good, maybe the third day is pull ups and KB deadifts. I cannot say for sure what it would come out to. First question everything, and use what is working best.

Your collaboration brings something real special, both men of action: “I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day”

Would love your opinion on the next training book I should read. I’ve been going through Enter The Kettlebell and my programming has been mostly TGU, Swings, Snatches, and Presses. In terms of training knowledge, not necessarily prose or motivational stories, what would be the next book you would read?

Thanks!

for me it’s always stories. Marty is a great storyteller. So is Mark. I honestly could care less what they’re talking about, I just like the way they talk.
