I saw this video on the 6th of June 2020 and started doing this program immediately. I followed this program for 1 year, with the exception of 2 separate rest-weeks when I was sick. I worked my way from heavy/light to heavy/heavier 😎. I used volume cycles and intensity cycles and I don't think I ever repeated a workout. I don't even know why I'm writing this. I just remember thinking when I saw this video that it would be fun to come back after a year with some results. So, thank you Mark Wildman.

In the Russian step-loading strength system, you are always using the same ktbl. However, the volume is dynamically changing to accommodate the adaptation occurring. I.E. clean and press plan; moderate day would be 5 x (1) Medium day. 2 x (1,2) High Intensity day 3 x (1,2,3) Each week you keep adjusting the rungs and ladders so that you are always performing more reps each week, with the end goal of; 5 x (1,2,3,4,5) or 75 reps per arm for a total of 150 reps. After that you can change to a heavier kettlebell( 24kg-32kg).

@@lewisyaworski8962 can you confirm please. Moderate day is that 5 sets of 1 rep? Medium day, 2 sets of 1 rep 2 rep ladder ? High intensity would be 3 sets of 1,2,3 ladders. How would this work with swings would you a for higher rep in ladders?
@Sam-vk8xd

Carlo Peroni there’s a couple different ways you can work with swings. Lately I’ve been going with one of Pavel’s protocols which is to pick a low number of reps and do that many reps at the ‘top of the minute’. Then each workout manipulate the amount of sets you do so as to add intensity. For example, i would do swings 3 times a week every other day, I picked 7 reps, so I would set a timer for 10 minutes and I’d do swings ‘at the top of the minute’ meaning as soon as the timer started (so at 0:00) I’d do 7 very explosive kettlebell swings and then put the bell down, rest the remainder of the minute (it would take about 10-12 seconds to complete the 7 reps, so that means I would get to rest about 50 seconds or so) and then at the top of the minute (so at 1:00) I would hit the 7 reps again then Put the bell down and rest. Then again at 2:00 I would hit the 7 reps again, and so on until I finished 10 minutes. Then on the second swing day I set a timer for 13 minutes and did 13 sets of 7 explosive reps at the top of the minute. Then the third day of swings I went up to 16. The next week I started at 13 sets and then second workout that week went to 17, and then the third went to 20 sets. At the end of the week I would be doing a high amount of sets but at the beginning I would start at a lower number of sets than the previous week and gradually build up each week using this “waving” style for the sets. Something I’ve messed around with also is picking a set number of sets (in my case 20) and then messing around with the number of reps for each day. Still using the ‘top of the minute’ swing protocol and again doing swings 3 times a week, every other day I started with 8 reps for 20 sets (again at 0:00 I did 8 reps, put the bell down rest remainder of minute, at 1:00 did 8 reps then put bell down and rested and so on until 20 minutes) and then each workout I would add 1 rep to the swings. So my second workout I did 9 reps at the top of minute, 3rd workout I did 10, 4rth workout I did 11 and so on until I got to 20 reps every minute. Then I started adding 1 set every week after (so 21 sets for 1 week, the. 22 sets for the next week and so on) and started decreasing the reps by 2, so 21 sets for 18 reps top of the minute, the next week 22 sets 16 reps top of the minute and so on until I got back down to 8 reps. My grip, conditioning and posterior chain have benefited greatly from messing around with swings like this. Of course, I built up to this amount of volume and I wouldn’t recommend 3 days of swings a week unless you’re pretty built up to it But swings are so much fun to mess around with in programming. Hopefully I gave you some ideas you can use. Oh, and I did this with 2 handed swings, with a 24 kg kettlebell (I wouldn’t recommend going any higher than that for this amount of volume, but that’s just my opinion). Mess around with some numbers and see how it works for you.
@Damin-Danger-Ledford

So, if you're still interested, in an earlier video i heard Mark say to start off with a 10 minute protocol of 5 reps per minute, on the minute. Heavier days would be adding more volume (in 10 minute blocks), more reps per minute, single arm movements(transitioning between arms between swings). With consideration for hand & body fatigue, try to get 10 seconds rest for each minute. Hope that helps.

Mark, thank you for this. It's awesome. I've been doing this for more than 2 months (longer than I've ever stuck with a program). I really appreciate that you're sharing the framework of how you put a program together vs "just do this workout" or "work out along with me" videos. I think the reason I've stuck with it this long (and now going to try clubs) is that I can see the progression and I love chasing my "workout experience points". Seeing that consistent progression is helping me stay motivated in weeks where I don't see obvious progression on the scale or the tape measure. It's great to have a process to trust in. Especially now that it's so easy to be sedentary.

This reminds me of doing powerlifting with a coach that trained with Louie Simmons of West side barbell in Columbus. On light days and percentage work sessions, it seemed like we weren't doing "enough." But that did get us stronger. Of course I was a young pup in my 20s and felt like I wanted to "do more" as I thought that would get me there quicker. But following the percentage training, along with box squats, rack deads, rack bench, hyper extensions, shot the big 3 lifts through the roof. Now, decades later, KB is so great, can do in my house. I'm thankful for these videos, as pushing myself hard (heavy), week in week out does exactly what Mark stated. I last a couple weeks, then spent....

First, this has become one of my two favorite channels. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise for free. My question is this programming includes five of the six basic kettlebell movements (from a much earlier video) leaving out the snatch. Is there a reason for this? If you were to incorporate the snatch, how would you add it into the programming? Second question not directly related - if you wanted to include ergo rowing (which I enjoy) or ergo skiing into this weekly programming, would you and if so how? Hope to see a response. Again - great channel, dumping a lot of others in favor of this one.

Thanks to Mark's nerdmath heavy/light methodology, I came up with an EMOM solution of my own....unless I heard it from Mark already and ripping it off. Long story short; I have a 16kg and 24kg. I do 24kg for 18 min for double swings now. So going light on Swings means going down to 16 because I can't find a 20 anywhere!!!! So here's what I do: Every thirty seconds I do ten swings for 9 minutes. It's quite the cardio workout. I also have a 10kg so thinking I could do my TGU with that instead of 16kg. I guess all I can do for that is increase TUT for double the time.

Your channel is amazing, it helps a lot for people working out from home. I do have questions with all those programming options. I initially only had a 16kg and was doing this program with just reducing number of sets for light day. Now I ended up buying a 12kg for my son and was wondering how to use this in that program. I have always done the EMOM with 16kg. I am now at 10 Get up each side with 16kg, 10*16 Single Hand swings with 16 kg on Heavy day, 10*5/5 on CP and Squats. It seems to me I need to buy a 20kg for the Get Up if I want to continue EMOM but what if I start reverse ladders style with the 16kg ? And keep doing EMOM 16kg for the Light days until I reach 10*10/10 ? Or is it better to keep EMOM and buy a 20kg for the heavy days ? On side note, Santa is bringing me the fill-able Heavy Club from Heroic Sport so I can do ABC instead of AB.

Also i am totally aware that this is the opposite of what u said when u describe a true heavy / light programing when u have different weights? Or is that even a format i should be following is there something else?

First of all thanks for the video. Secondly, I still didn't get how the Light/Heavy weight percentage is calibrated.... Is it by heart rate ? HRV ? Just a subjective feeling of "we could go higher next time" ?

I realize you said that it's tricky to calculate and you accounted for the workout volume on the heavy day being 60-80% of what was performed on the light day. Roughly what percentage of a jump are we talking in KB weight from the light KB to heavy KB? Let's say the trainee is using a 16kg for the light weight would the heavy be 32kg? (And the third weight be 24kg?)

Sorry hit wrong key, so I was thinking that if I purchased another 35 lb kettlebell should I purchase a even heavier weight kettlebell for my other kettlebell. Thank you for your input or anyone else that contribute to this question.

Where would one place things like rows and pull ups alongside this sort of programming? Would A1/A2 style programming allow more volume and to pair exercises/body parts without really disrupting the Heavy/Light structure?

Hi Mark, I only have a 16kg kettlebell right now. Is it possible to do heavy/light by adjusting volume until I get a second kettlebell? For example, light day is 100 swings, heavy day is 200 swings? Or should I just keep it consistent with whatever I can do in ~10 minutes until I get that second kettlebell and then split to heavy/light? Also, do you recommend any other brands for competition kettlebells that won't break the bank? I have a Kettlebell Kings, but would prefer to not drop $130-200 per kettlebell if I end up going up in weight incrementally.

I guess it would be more like 10 sets of 15 or 20 reps with the more lighter weight vs. 10 sets of 10 reps with the more heavier weight. (But then I really have no experience about the topic)

@@kmolnardaniel It's a skill. Practice with a bell you don't have to think so much about when swinging it. First loudly shout out the rep when you exhale at the top and then progress to just counting in your mind. It takes a while to learn the concentration needed but you'll get there!

Can any other training or movement be woven into this program or would the body be totally spent? For example, I also row, swing the mace, skip and am getting into slam balls. Or is it best to do nothing else, i.e. nothing (except maybe stretching/mobility) on recovery days and nothing else that day in addition to those kettlebell exercises?

Seems you answered the mace question here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/rHl_z2pnj35-dYI&start_radio=1&rv=KCIi61VLMBM&t=53. So...thanks for being awesome. Will review the rest of the program design series, but also generally curious how to train using all these different tools I enjoy. Can I use them all in a week or will some of them need to be at the cost of other things? And can condition-y like stuff rowing and skipping be on a recovery day?

Do you add one more rep to each movement each workout? Example: heavy day 5 reps, light 10 reps. Next workout heavy day 6 reps, light 12 reps? Essentially trying to utilize the nerd math videos while incorporating heavy light.

I set up a spreadsheet (maybe because I'm an Engineer). There are probably better ways to do this, but I try not to let perfect be the enemy of good. This is what my spreadsheet looks like: - 4 rows (Swings; TGU ; C&P ; Squats). I color code the ones that are A days and the ones that are B days because "I'm that kind of nerd". - 10 columns (in addition to the one that names the exercise which is all the way on the left). - First 5 give specs for Light days: Weight (W), reps (R), sets (S), work [W x R x S], then rest (for me all are either rest 1 minute or "every minute on the minute" [EMOM]). Now I'm trying to do some of them continuous because I'm running out of weights. - Next 5 do the same for Heavy days. Then, I set up my light day for each exercise. For my heavy day, I try to get a scheme where the Work is ~ 80% of the Light day for that exercise. Then I try to work the progressions like he talks about in the video. I worry less about the 80% work at this point (although I do check it every so often). I leave rows at the bottom to record what I did every week along with notes. I think the key is to not worry about being perfect out of the gate. Start something and refine as you go along. Don't push yourself to failure and you'll see progress over time. This is a big thing we teach our students in engineering. Get the process right. Trust the process. That will lead to better results over time.

What about the consistency in weights across exercises? I mean what I noticed, most beginners can swing a heavier kettlebell, but they are unable to do the C&P and TGU with the same weight. Also when it comes to snatch, I don't see the point scaling up in weight, if I'm too weak to press the same weight. My aim is to do the press and the snatch with the same weight (preferably what Pavel called the "military press", not just the "clean and jerk") before scaling up.

I made a similar comment recently. Someone recommended using a can of soup to practice with to get the movements down. Mark said in another video, he doesn't recommend overweight people doing the TGU, so I asked him what should it be replaced with. This was his answer: "Short answer. Clean and press reverse ladders if size permits If size does not permit Inside circles, outside circles, single arm shield cast"

So I’ve been fortunate to have a 35, 44 & 53 lbs kettlebells, would doing a light, medium and heavy day be overkill? When I get to my halfway goal weight (down 17 doing Kettlebell EMOM and OMAD) I’m getting my 70 lbs as a reward. I’m not trying to complicate things. Thanks in advance.

Definitely doesn't sound like overkill to me. A lot of the greatest KB programs call for a light, medium and heavy day, 3 times a week (like Rite of Passage and the Giant), some even more (like simple & sinister). As long as you're not overtraining I don't see a problem.
