movement first, bodybuilding second

To be clear, this is not a prioritization scale. This is an order of operations. Im not a kettlebell purest and never will be. My roots are in conventional lifting and I see its obvious value. Its too easy when you discover a new (religion) to go all in as a defender, and i dont want to fall into that bucket.

To fit in both, training is organized as such:

- movement first (kettlebells, sandbags, kegs)

- bodybuilding second (cables, calisthenics, barbells)

The first done for higher sets of low reps. The second done for lower sets of high reps. The stable and loadable nature of conventional implements make them ideal candidates for hypertrophy work, but the advantage of using them second is the entire body is already ON from the primary work. Every rep feels locked the fuck in to substantiate a nasty pump. Joints are already warmed up by the unconventional work. This is a $ strat.
