Brisk walk — Zone 2 (baat kar sake itni speed) · 20–30 min
2–3× week
Gada flow — 360 + 10-to-2 · 8–10 min
1 din
Full rest — sirf halki walk
03
Progression
Jaldi mat kar. 16 kg pe tabhi jaa jab 12 kg perfectly smooth ho. Slow = fast.
01
Week 1–3 · Base
12 kg, 2-hand swing
5 × 10 = 50 swings
TGU halka — form seekh
KB 3× / week
02
Week 4–8 · Build
Swings 100 tak (10×10)
Ek-haath swing shuru
KB 4–5× / week
16 kg test karna shuru
03
Week 9+ · Simple
16 kg pe shift
Near-daily S&S
100 swings + 10 TGU
Smooth & strong
04
Age-40 Warmup
40 pe ye non-negotiable hai. KB se pehle 3–4 min — joints khol.
Har session se pehle
Hip circles + arm circles — 30s each
10 bodyweight squats (deep, slow)
5–8 dands (Hindu pushup — shoulder warm-up)
Thoracic rotation — 5 per side
Ankle rolls — TGU & swing ke liye base
Daily 5-min mobility (sham ko)
Hip opener (deep squat hold)
Thoracic + shoulder opener
Ye "poor recovery" feeling ka bada hissa stiffness hai — actual damage nahi
05
Bodyweight & Core
KB ke saath chalte hain. Sab GTG style — sub-max, failure nahi, taaki recovery na phate.
Bodyweight Pillar · GTG
Hindu pushups (dand) — sub-max sets (aadhe se thode kam), din mein 4–5 baar · push + mobility dono
Bodyweight squats — 15–20 ke sets, 2–3 baar · leg endurance + knee health
Core · Pavel Way
TGU + swings = pehle se hi massive core. TGU best anti-rotation drill hai.
Direct core sirf 2–3× / week, 2 chuno: plank (full tension, 2–3 × 30–45s), hollow hold (2–3 × 20–30s), dead bug (2–3 × 8 / side — kamar-friendly)
Crunches ki zaroorat nahi — tension wala core, volume wala nahi
Burpees? Staple nahi. High fatigue + thake hue sloppy form = wrist/kamar risk, aur "stay fresh" rule ke khilaaf. Conditioning stairs/walk intervals se safe milti hai. Mann ho to kabhi fresh mein, kam volume.
06
Recovery Rules
Recovery 4 cheezon pe tikta hai — vegetarian ke liye protein khaas.
Non-negotiables
Protein har meal — dal, paneer, dahi, soya/tofu, sprouts. Poor recovery ka 50% reason aksar protein kam.
