Background
Simple and Sinister is a kettlebell workout program developed by Pavel Tsatsouline. It’s very simple: essentially 100 kettlebell swings and 10 Turkish getups per workout, slowly progressing up in weight.
The book is useful but not very clearly written, so I created a spreadsheet to help automate the progression.
Features
- Lets you track past workouts and see your future trajectory
- Supports configuration parameters like gender and increment amount
- The cells automatically color-code to match the standard competition bell colors
Issues/limitations
- It is very slow to update, mainly due to circular cell references. I hope to fix this in the future
- The future workout tab works best if you follow the program strictly; e.g., if you log one-off recovery workouts that don’t follow the progression then it may take a few days for the formulae to be accurate again
- It doesn’t track session times for the Simple and Sinister challenges
