| TSC Training Tip
By Ryan Toshner, StrongFirst Certified Senior Instructor
|
| Whether you are a relative beginner, a regular competitor, or a seasoned Tactical Strength Challenge veteran, implementing the following super-simple tip will help your performance in the upcoming event on May 8, 2021.
If you are a beginner, you will experience a boost to your confidence—along with increased strength and possibly some body composition changes as well. If you have been around, you will nudge your scores in the right direction for each of the three events.
Are you ready for it?
Do heavy (for you) swings two to three times per week.
What does "heavy" mean?
Preferably, two SFG snatch test sized kettlebells or one size larger. Alternately, you may use a single bell that is twice the size (or greater) of your snatch weight.

| | How many reps and sets?
If you are a relative TSC beginner, start out with 5 sets of 10 reps on three non-consecutive days per week. As the weeks go by, work up to 10 sets of 10 reps on two days per week and (optionally) 5 sets of 10 reps on a third day. If you are doing other training, do the swings after your strength work.
If you are an experienced TSC competitor, you can start out with 10x10 right off the bat.
In any case, do all reps with max power and respect the float at the top of the swing. Compress your rest periods as much as possible, as long as you are able to maintain the same power on every single rep. In other words, if your power drops off on any given set, rest longer before the next set.
