    Just trying to understand by trying to explain... to myself:
    -Starting pont: with one device, in 10 minutes, attain “good shape” level (an example reference level given of moving 3,500 lbs. in 10 minutes)
    -From this reference level do a basic set of each of 6 movements in a varied plan running over a period of one week to attain good functionality overall
    -Continue on “Nerd Math” path adapted to each of 6 movements to incrementally higher states of fitness and functionality with a training effect

    • @StarvingFlightInstructor
      @StarvingFlightInstructor 4 роки тому +4

      I'm obviously not Mark, but you could: Increase TUT by doing 2 reps in a row, so one rep is two get ups. You switch one rep into a double every workout to slowly build volume.
      Or: Similarly, to slow it down progression even more, you could repeat only single steps. So start by rolling to elbow and then back down to starting position. Then do a full get up. Next workout you go to elbow and then hand, and then back down. Then a full, normal TGU.
      I've like to do a press at every position as well, that's a tough one!

    • @maximisatwat
      @maximisatwat 2 роки тому

      30 on 30 off IS emom. If you are going for a fixed number of reps and start increasing that number, then you start wanting to go faster to have more rest time. If you just 'do what you feel like' for 30 seconds, your brain will tend to short-change you and make you go slower than it could go. If you have pressure to finish quickly so you can rest you will increase what you can do.
      You need that pay-off to working harder instead of just clocking off at 5pm

    Yes, you are going to need a video in this series on how single arm kb movements fit into this. I almost see it, I presume you plug in the reverse pyramid rep schemes aiming for a 10 minute "cap" but if it were in this series that would make this little mini-series more self-contained.

    Yes, Mark! I really don’t want to hurt myself! 36 swings in one minute it’s fast. I’m using 14 K right know making 32/min. If I go down to 12 K I can probably do 38/min. But it’s heavy work from 12 K to 14 K, as you just said there is no 13 K kettlebell. It means I have to work longer period with 12 K to reach 36 swings/min with 14 K. Nerd math 👌🏾

  • @CraigMassey_nz
    @CraigMassey_nz 4 роки тому +2

    A question, is single arm front squats your "default" squat or do you use the bottom up goblet squat?
    I assumed the goblet squat
    And I assumed that you would start with feet shoulder width and then work into the deck squat.
    Is that correct?

    • @a.lame.username.
      @a.lame.username. 4 роки тому +2

      I think Mark defaults to the single arm version because of the stability workload it adds to the core. More work in less time.

      The deck squat is a mobility and coordination skill. I think it's something completely different to "normal" squat variations if you are looking at in relation to the nerd math context.

      I will wait and see if Mark answers in comments or a later video.

    Total noob here. Been doing KB training since the summer when daughter left 2x 15lbs and a 35lb bell at the house. So I see this as being a combo of TUT and volume work. EMOM for swing, clean and Old school set work for TGU, squat combined into a single session. Day 1 could be EMOM Swing and sets of TGU, day 2 could be EMOM of Cleans and sets of squats, day 3 EMOM of Snatch and sets of press...how far off base am I?

    I’m confused on how to even ask this question. If the goal when doing C&P is 20 minutes how do you match that with doing ladders? 3/3 2/2 1/1 usually takes 7.5 minutes. Should you add in something else to get closer to 20 minutes?

      I am doing 4 sets of 3-2-1 C&P at the moment, and it takes about 10 min (2min every set and 1min rest). So, i believe when you get to the 4-3-2-1 ladder, it will get pretty close to 20min. Just a noob opinion by the way.

      If you go back to the C&P nerd math vid, at the end, he calls out I think 5 sets of 54321 and that should take around 17.5 minutes, very nearly 20 minutes. So I think that's the goal to hit before moving up - 5 sets of 54321.

    • @nandobreiter4075
      @nandobreiter4075 4 роки тому

      I think you could certainly start with swings with that weight, at least try to start there. Make sure to watch a video on proper form, keep the back and neck straight. Squeeze your glutes to protect your back. Start with a simple EMOM volume cycle, adjust the reps / rest per minute to make sure you start easily. 5 swings per side might take 20-25 seconds, and you'd have 35-40 seconds of rest between sets. See how that density level feels and if it's too much, try 4 swings per side. If it's too easy, go up to 6 swings per side. Start with 4 sets, and then progressively increase the volume, either incrementing by 1 or 2 sets. Give yourself 1 or 2 recovery days between incrementing sets.
      I think the point I'm trying to make is to experiment and adjust the intensity to fit your level of fitness and body. With a somewhat heavier bell, you can ease off the intensity and slowly build up, rather than starting with a light bell at a higher intensity. I think I've just talked myself into starting another volume cycle of swings with my 32 kg ...

    Why can't you just do e.g. 8 Squats @16kg EMOM/10min or 5 Squats @24Kg EMOM 10min for the grinds? Then work it up gradually by 1 etc. to higher N reps?
    The higher N, the more time it takes, so the faster you want to go for more break-time reward - increasing efficiency
    I mean the point is, can't you always balance the reps (N) to rest ratio to be just challenging for 10 minute EMOM? It's just stretched like paper-chain men instead of going to near failure each set.

    Coach, the TGU is the hardest to program, as it is a combination of strength, flexibility and coordination/concentration. I get the 2 - 4 reps per side per set, but should one really rest for multiple minutes between sets, like a press or a squat which is more linear and really more “grind”? And how many total reps/sets should one shoot for, as again, this is far from a linear movement?

      I’ve also been doing squats as an emom; 14 minutes of that and I started to think I was at risk of overtraining 🤔 At the same time, 20 sets with a minute break in between turns into like half an hour of squats...

    This has nothing to do with your video. Just want to find out how’s your family doing. Been thinking about you and your family.
