There are some acronyms that need explaining from time to time, so those will be listed here, along with some “shorthand” names for some of the workouts we do, which we will also explain here. And some definitions.
- KB/kb = kettlebell. A “cannonball with a handle” as some say. We buy ours from Dragon Door.
- SFP2.0 = “Stubborn Fat Protocol”. (Wish I could remember where I read about this, because I would add a link here.) The workout consists of doing snatches in the VO2 Max method for 10 minutes, then an easy run for 30 minutes, then right back to the KB for 5 minutes of swings. It’s a killer, but a fantastic workout.
- VO2 Max – Kenneth Jay wrote a book called “Viking Warrior Conditioning” which goes into a lot of details on this. The short version involves 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off, for as long as you can stand it. Take snatches for example. You do 15 seconds of snatches with the left hand (I can do 7-8 reps with the 16kg, or 5-6 with the 24kg), then you rest for 15 seconds, then you do 15 seconds right, then rest 15 seconds. This is abbreviated as “15:15″. There is also a “36:36″ version which I have not tried yet. In the SFP2.0, you do it for 10 minutes.
