Deployment is almost over!!! Seven months on a US Navy ship isn't very fun at times. I've been training with kettle bells, sand bag, weight vest/bodyweight and jungle gym XT straps.I MISS THE GYM! BUT I love pull ups and flutter kicks and all that stuff. How should I approach 5X5 Strong Lifts along with my other stuff I enjoy? Simply tack a few movements whether kettle bell or sandbag or pull ups POST strong lift session for the day? I have the 5X5 PDF I understand not to run or do other lifts prior to completing that day's routine. BUT I still gotta ask, what would you guys/gals do? I'm about 1.5 months into CNS FYI. Thanks!
Personally, I'd throw in KB work everyday. They're awesome for general health/warming up/getting the hips moving right, etc.. Also would do pullups every day I do any pressing, in order to get a better pulling:pressing volume ratio. Sled pull/push would be fun too as a 5-10 min conditioning aspect after your lifts are done.And sandbags are evil so I wouldn't touch them. 😛

Sandbags are evil and thats why I love em 🙂 I've really fell in love with KB's, it feels great when you're in that groove. So would say go ahead and just make sure to do them POST SL5X5???

I use them at various times. Light ones for warming up.. Swings will get the hips warmed up for squats/deads well. Then sometimes I'll do light snatches for a shoulder warmup..Recently started doing waiter's walks with them and in between walks I'll do a high-rep set of swings.They're great for core work.. farmers/waiters carry and TGU'sAny conditioning work, yeah, I'd do it after your lifts. And keep it in the 5-10min range, especially on CN.

Great, thanks for the input! I'm really getting geeked to start moving weight again, despite starting off with a bare bar....
