Was looking for a program when I stumbled upon this video, it doesn't look complex and it aims towards my targets so definitely going to give this a try tomorrow.
Good video, will give it a try. but i have a question, there are 15 ladders progressions there, if we do heavy and medium with each one it is 30 sessions, so how can we complete it in just 5 weeks?
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro sorry I'm confused about the duration of the program. What I understand is this: Mon 3x(2,3,5)/ Wed 2x(2,3,5) Fri 3x(2,4,5) / Mon 2x(2,4,5) / Wed 3x(2,4,6)/ Fri 2x(2,4,6) , we get the to the first benchmark in 2 weeks so in order to get the 5 benchmarks it will take 10 weeks to complete. Am I wrong?
Love the video's and the inspiration. I have a question about the exercise selection and quantity. I realize the program is meant to be minimalistic, but I feel like I enjoy training to much to limit myself to 3 exercises only) As I understand it, the ladders are performed in a circuit like manner, where a set of each exercise is performed, which is then repeated after appropriate rest until the ladder is complete. - Using the same principles as explained in the video would it be possible to change the quantity of exercises in the ladder (For Example: Squat - pull (upper back) - push + lower back - core/abs)? - Could you do multiple blocks of ladders in one training session (for example: "A - 2x ladders: Squat, Upper back, Chest" & "B - 3x ladders: Lower back, shoulders, Triceps) Sorry for the long question! Kind Regards!
I can't believe im only finding this video now - I'm a huge fan of the channel, and I am going to start this immediately. Question... would the clean count as a pull exercise, or should it be more of a dead stop exercise? I know at the beginning you clearly call this out as being for the grinds, and the clean is a ballistic.
I like this but it’s definitely not a 5 week programme. You say it in the video, “each bench mark lasting 2 weeks.” There are 5 bench marks. This is a 10 week programme. Still good though!
If I was using say the double KB press, pullup, and double KB front squat, but after this ladder workout I wanted to add in either double cleans or single snatches for extra posterior chain work, do you think that is ok?
So I want to try this but when I try to understand it I get the idea of it will be 10 weeks total but have one deload week on week 6 then do the last 5 weeks? Am I missing something here? Please advise thanks
Once you’re done with the ladders, should you do something extra after? Perhaps a complex of some kind? Or is it better to stop once the ladders are done?
It really depends on your goal. You definitely can , it has to be programmed properly. Why not do a ladder inside the Complex: Clean x 1, Press x 1, Squat x 1, then 2, then 3. Experiment and enjoy 💪🏻
Coach I'm looking for a training routine that's not too hard, not too easy, just keeps me in a certain fitness level all the time....think of it like running 5 km...sweet spot...a routine for life...just like running 5 km..... any advice ?
Hello coach!!!i would like to ask how the ladder would work with a steel mace...When you say 2,3,5 it will be a 2,3,5 in each side???i mean ladder left ,ladder right??thank you.
Very creative approach. You should write a book.
Love it!
You have great knowledge thank you for sharing
My pleasure
Thanks again for inspiration.
I’ll try this 💪
Could you make a video about the armour building complex and how to program it 😊

Perfect
How did it go?
This looks awesome! I did something similar for pushups once. Will try this

You'll hit each progression 3x every 2 weeks, alternating heavy and medium, hence 5 weeks

For sure you can. Experiment and LMK how it goes.
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro Thanks coach!
So for instance when doin 2 3 4 you would do 2 reps of say squats 2 push 2 pull exercises then the same for 3 then 5?
Yup
How do the rest periods work?

Choose a Grind for your Pull, like Pull-ups or Rows
Got it, thank you!
Can you substitute cleans in place of rows?
Yes
I like this but it’s definitely not a 5 week programme. You say it in the video, “each bench mark lasting 2 weeks.”

Correct, it's 10 weeks

Yes
Great workout!! Do I understand it correctly: I start from 2 double KB swing, 2 double KB clean, 2 double KB squat unbroken and go up?
Indeed!

Yes correct, it's 10 weeks
Hey coach, any problem with doing the sets hardest to easiest (reversed) e.g. 5,3,2 instead of 2,3,5 up to 10,8,6 instead of 6,8,10?
You definitely can

Iron Cardio is awesome if you have the skills
Hello coach!!!i would like to ask how the ladder would work with a steel mace...When you say 2,3,5 it will be a 2,3,5 in each side???i mean ladder left ,ladder right??thank you.
Yes sir exactly 2 left, 2 right. The ladders can be different depending on the weight of the Mace.
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro you mean that in 2 reps is bigger weight for example and to 3 or 5...less weight?
@@kostasm3750 no...2,3,5 keep the same weight. A heavier weight can be 1,2,3. A lighter one can be 3,5,7...You choose
Will this be suitable are clean and press with 10 RM performed with one arm and alternating arms with or without rest in between?
With rest
@@HardstyleKettlebellPro Thanks for the quick response. Where to turn on rest. Between the sets?
Yes sir
Does it mean that last week i have to do 3x(7,8,10) deadlifts?!
6, 8, 10...yes
