What’s the ideal complement to KB training?

I’ve been running DFW remix and while I love it, it’s a little punishing the next day in a good way. I would love to find a way to stay spry and mobile/flexible to complement DFW and whatever I run next. I have a few mobility programs but they’re focused mainly on locomotion-type stuff. Does anyone have suggestions for mobility and/or flexibility routines they find complements the big 6 moves etc. nicely? Maybe even some yoga? Thank you!

Would love a form check on my CP/FS

Would appreciate any and all feedback. Using 10kgs because I’m working on some biceps tendinopathy but I’m just about ready to increase. I especially want to know if my clean is smooth—really working on the hinge on the way down. Thank you!

Phenomenal second attempt!

Baked in the Koda 16. Mainly veggie slices and a dusting of parm on one slice. Gotta work on shaping and getting it not to stick on the peel (even after dipping dough in semolina)

Recently started DFW. Would love C/P form feedback

Im using 8kg bells because im nursing some biceps tendinopathy which made pressing tough in the past, but its feeling better so im planning on increasing to 10kg bells next session. I figure that’ll help with my form too but in the meantime id love some feedback on my form, specifically my hinge and whether im generating power from the right place. Thank you!

Ran first DFW Remix session today! Just a few questions.

Felt good. I did 6 sets of ladders during the 30min. Used a pair of 8kg, which felt light for cleans but just right for presses given my shoulder issues. While I want to increase to at least 12kg pairs, I gotta give my shoulder time to catch up.

One question I have is: is the clean supposed to generate most force from the hips like a swing? Maybe it’s just that the weight was too light, but I feel I’m able to drive from the hips more when running S&S with 28kg. This felt more like an arm movement no matter how much I followed my normal swing cues.

Also, for the 2 rep part of the ladder, are two reps as such: clean, press, swing down to clean again, then press? Then rest before cleaning again into the FS?

Thank you!

How do people effectively make baguettes in home oven?

I followed this method and recipe (https://open.substack.com/pub/sassafrascurio/p/the-baguette-of-summer?r=g855&utm\_medium=ios) because it fits my schedule. The flavor is great but I ran into a few issues: they stuck to my peel (I think I need either wood or to use parchment), these were too long for my baking steel, and my home oven refuses to hold steam. Has anyone made Demi baguettes work in a Challenger or something similar? I am determined to nail these and get that beautiful dark color and creamy crumb. These came out so pale and even though I shaped them well, the two that stuck to the peel made me so angry lol.

What’s up with this burner?

Is that just dirty?

Grabbed a brand new Koda 16 for $300 on OfferUp and the large modular table for free on Marketplace. Feeling very satisfied!

So excited to refine my pizza game and get better at using the Koda.

Has anyone tried these NeuroGrips? Worth it?

Im eyeing these things from CK maceworks (https://ckmaceworks.com/products/t-handles) but not sure if they’re worth the price tbh. Curious as to anyone else’s opinion. They look like a fun challenge but at $100 the price seems a bit steep. Has anyone else tried using them? Is there any other way to emulate them/make them at home? Thanks in advance for any input! I have parallel bars that I typically use when doing pushups. Now I’m out of stuff to say but want to hit the 500 character requirement for text posts…

How do you all avoid elbow tendinitis?

Been running S&S for about 1.5 months and have upped to 28kg swings. Feeling great but my right outer elbow is starting to get a little achy. I’ve dealt with quad and biceps tendinopathy in the past and looking to avoid more issues from swinging and cleaning. Anybody have any good preventative tips?

What went wrong?

So i used the Ooni for the first time last weekend to make pita and it was perfect. So good. Though i thought the flame wasn’t going strong enough at the time. Today i tried making pizza for the first time. I did caputo blue flour at 70% hydration with 20% starter, just like I do my regular sourdough loaves. I bulk fermented for 8 hours at room temp then about 24 hour cold proof. I think my stone maxed out in the center around 350c after 30 min of preheating. The pizzas I made weren’t terrible, but the middle was definitely somewhat raw in the center. It was disappointing. I think maybe the stone wasn’t hot enough, but how can that be after being on max for 30 min? Would appreciate any insight. Thank you.

5RM with press so much lighter than weight I can clean

Just a bit of a frustrated rant. I’ve been doing S&S with 24kg swings and 10kg TGU. Haven’t been pressing for months while I nurse biceps tendinopathy. I wanted to start Iron Cardio or DFW, but my 5RM for pressing is so embarrassingly low. It’s 10kg. My issue is that’s so much lighter than what I feel good cleaning (16kg). Anybody ever dealt with such a big difference between pressing and cleaning abilities? I’m thinking maybe just swallow my pride and do double 10kg for C/P or work on pressing separately. Either way that precludes doing either of those programs properly, at least for now.
