Well no - but then I’m not a show off lol!
Just heard this on a podcast with Dan John. It’s on my list
5 rounds of
Double KB front squat ladders

Use body weight and do as fast as possible:
10 front squat,
15 back squat
20 dead lifts.

Dan John is a wild man. Here is me getting 21 done
I keep seeing you write about “armour building”. But my copy of “Make Mass Simple” is delayed until I sort out an issue I’m having with Amazon.
I will admit - each time you “drop” the cleaned KB in the video I did wonder why. But I like this. I might use something like this. Its just lots of floor to front squat. Its brutally simple in its idea. But I can see it not a nice experience. I can clean a 50kg bar twice and then FS 3 times. It’ ot the same but for now its close enough.
FYI - “only 6 a minute”. That’s one every 10 seconds Coach. That’s quite quick…
Are you talking about my rest periods, or is this a technique thing? EDIT: Strike that, I get what you mean now.
ABCs aren’t in Mass Made Simple, but it’s described in the text up there. 2 cleans, 1 press, 3 front squats. Here too
Dan DID greenlight ABCs for Mass Made Simple lite, but has also since gone on to say not to run that program, so there’s that, haha.
I know some folks have done ABCs with a barbell before. It certainly works.
Cool - I assumed it was in the book. I might follow his YouTube channel. Seems to throw out loads of great content.
His channel is awesome! His podcast is “signal to noise ratio” defined. So much good stuff.
Here is 23 in under 5 minutes
I want to get my hands on some KB just to try these.
I wanna get my hands on Dan John for coming up with this, haha. It can be done with dbs though
I only have DB handles with clips. Can’t really be used for cleans. Once I get the inclination to go back to the gym I will give it a go.
I think maybe tomorrow. Not sure.
Here’s a guy doing it with a slamball, haha.
And a tire
COVID has created an army of adapters.
I was gonna try with an axle but wondered if this was too much of a change. I guess not. I suppose as long I’m smashing it it’s all good.
Today’s attempt at “leg day”.
You’ll notice I did not do “10-15-20”. But “12-17-20”. The goal is to reach 20-20-20 with 110kg.
Because why not.
24 with 24s
I really appreciate how valuable strategy becomes with this
Tried to get 100 today. Managed 69 before my hand tore
Got 100
Here’s a new one.
Max rep front squats, then match it with squats and deads.
Right up my street that one!
