What kind of torture is FFS?
I think @T3hPwnisher is expressing pretty eloquently why a 40kg girl whoās undereating is messing with her endocrine system should train and eat differently than a chubby 33 year old.

Thanks for the chuckle.
Anna: pull out your plan for āconditioning daysā for the next 3 months. Light that plan on fire and replace it with a plan for eating tons of cheeseburgers or something.

Really impressive farmerās walk!
It should have been read with as much sarcasm as possible, as there is nothing humane about that workout haha.
I should also mention I received my copy of Brians new pre-written program. I intend to run it as written when I can get into the gym 4x/week again, so I canāt speak to how effective it is, but it looks rock solid. (@anna_5588)

How can you hate a week of slacking off?
Is it? That seems like slacking to me, but I was very fried by then. Like, properly drained. I tend to assume that if I can trap bar deadlift it, I can carry it. The pick has always been my weak point on walks.
@mr.v3lv3t Iām finding Iām undershooting with my conditioning at the minute. I aim to make it difficult and seem to miss quite a lot. This kept my heart rate up for the time but I was a long way from dying. The magic of the programming I guess, not a bad problem to have.
@mattjp Iād hate deload weeks the way most people on here do them. Iād rather just do nothing except sleep more for a week. Thatās my kind of deload, because all exercises are objectively worse than relaxing.

Long-time lurker here but wanted to drop in and say your last few workouts look horribly hard. I canāt see how doing those for a few months while eating āwellā wonāt completely transform your body. Iām looking forward to seeing how you progress. Great job so far.

60 secs walks are no joke, and then way over bodyweight, and then after a deadlift and lower back session!
The only real deloads Iāve done were on 5/3/1 and I always felt weak instead of refreshed afterwards.
Life gives me deloads. My last one was for that bicycle training class at work. I took like 10 days off from lifting but was more active than usual - just in different ways. Thatās my kind of deload.

When you say 120kg farmerās walks, that will get read as 120kg in each hand. If you did indeed do that for three rounds of 60 seconds then it is really impressive. Unless you spent the whole 60s picking and dropping and only made it about five steps.
If you actually had 60kg in each hand, less impressive as a farmerās walk but decent enough work as a conditioning finisher thingy. Certainly not bad, by any stretch.

I read it at 60 kgs in each hand. For a strongman like you it is weak sauce but for an average guy like us, 60 secs sets are really hard

I struggle carrying the 20kg kb in each hand for more than 40m

Quarantine has basically put me in a 3 month deload

Iāll not correct you on your perception of my strength level and chalk that up as a win for the day.
Definitely nothing wrong with taking 60kg for a spin for that length of time in terms of conditioning and grip/core strength, though. Not something Iād enjoy doing.

I totally read it as 120 kg per hand at first.
Either way strong work!

Itās humane in that the workout only has 55 āburpeesā. A more traditional burpee workout would clock in at well over 100
