Alex_uk: 40 years in the making

Dude, Monday’s for me are the worst…100 chins for me is effin’ nutty. However, because the first session is nutty like this it makes the other 2 somewhat less terrible. Keep on eating!

The first week will leave you a mess…the 2nd week feels better. Then the 3rd week hits :grimacing:. Then you realize you are about to up weight and do it all again. Fun stuff.

It’s crazy, I’m not terrible at chins (not great but can do decent dead stop full ROM weighted chins - although I wasn’t dead stopping these today!) But getting 100 chins on top of squatting, pressing and dipping is just mad.

Funnily enough I already reassured myself by looking to next session and felt comforted by it a little.

Yea absolutely the plan!

Yup “fun”…

For me, there’s a strong positive correlation between how hard a program is and my propensity to rate it as “fun”

Sounds like we use the same rating method, this is “very fun” so far, deadlift day looks “moderately fun”.

How long did that session take for you? You are adding KB Swings, Cleans!, and Ab roller to Monday. You monster…stop this madness.

Just for clarity, you’re taking a workout plan that was deemed “worse than Deep Water” by sentient farm machinery, and adding extra work. And giant setting it? And doing conditioning first?

I feel like you’re meaning to talk about me here, except I’ve been adamant that Deep Water was much MUCH worse than BtM. BtM made me want to quit on day 1: Deep Water made me want to quit every week. I referred to it as “BtM on bath salts”.

We just assume that’s how you operate at this point.

How do we know this log isn’t written by a British knockoff :thinking::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Apologies, I misread “first” as “only”.

I didn’t time it overall but longer than I intended, probably 75/85 mins, felt like longer.

In my defence, KB swings literally just 3 per set to prime explosiveness (or something like that?) Ab rolls cos I’d never do any ab work if I didn’t gaint set it here and I dropped it after 5 sets and that’s only 4 cleans for which I blame @T3hPwnisher and immediately regretted agreeing to (mental note - just because strange men online say to do something doesn’t mean you have to).

Haha brilliant.

This is definitely one I have no interest in trying.

Haha that is definitely not the case! (He’s both significantly stronger and has way more dietary restraint than me… Although I had been considering experimenting with low carbs post BtM, but I really do love carbs).

The credit for that goes straight to @T3hPwnisher himself.

you’d have too much fun!

That’d be “maximum fun” or “fun overload”

Nah seriously doing 5 straight sets with BtM sucks enough, 10, just no.

yeah… I’m struggling rn with 4 sets, of not even real weights :sweat_smile:
Although, I’d love to try it… just once…

Sheiko is big on what feels like an infinite number of sets. The difference is that all of them are at a low RPE. That was effective and I loved it, but definitely not fun (more mentally hard than anything)

This also applies to your Onlyfans account.

There is definitely a big element of that for me with multiple straight sets, feels dull, 3 straight sets is usually my max before boredom and loathing sets in (“Boredom and loathing in the UK” my new log name if I ever do anything close to DW!).

But how would I pay the bills?!

BtM is all eggs and mince. Try a breakfast chilli.

300g of mince made into a chilli - nice and spicy.
4 eggs scrambled.
The chilli includes rice cauliflower and broccoli.

Its quite good.
