For those who don't know, or didn't care, PTP is Pavel's "Power to the People" a minimalist set up for strength training for the average dude. It consistes of deadlifts and one armed barbell presses (called "side presses").
ETK, or Enter the Kettlebell, is Pavel's latest kb treatise, where he chooses the kb swing and the kb get-up as his two minimalist movements.
The party line is do PTP for two weeks, then ETK for 2 weeks, or something like that where you divide the two protocols.
There's no reason you really couldn't split the two down the middle, though.
Deadlift + Get up: This combo is definitely taking the hammer to the core, with both bilateral and unilateral stability challenged, and with the GU, you still get overhead stimulation.
Side Press + Swing: Overhead strength + core conditioning.
Despite being "different" this is certainly a synergistic way to set up your minimalist barbell + kettlebell program.
And, there, my friends, is my $100 idea of the day.
