Instead of chocolate syrup I just throw in Metabolic Drive. It’s magnificent before bed! But be sure to use to good greasy natural peanut butter to slow down the absorption.
Week 2: Day 3- Conditioning and accessories
5x(10 alt lunges-50kg+10pushups+15 sit ups)-10:33
rest 3min
5x(5 ovh press-30kg+10situps+20 alt pistols)-11:35
Technique: HS hold
- Pretty intense, but felt really good and quick. OVH press definitely harder than expected, killed shoulders and upper back
- wanted to do RDLs and rows, but NOT happening (I’ll do them on Friday)
@Pinkylifting I’m really enjoying the program, but my legs are really starting to feel beat up…
My knees especially are getting sore ( not painful, sore)
Well you’ve added squat volume and you’ve kept conditioning and lunges on off days, not really giving your ligaments and tendons a chance to recover from the new heavy volume. They need it. Take some real rest days, and post a squat form video, you might benefit from sitting back more with less forward knee travel.

The lunges are actually part of the program it’s just that I can’t fit them in after my dead lift days because of time constraints
The conditioning format makes it less boring
Thats fair enough, I sometimes move the accessory work around when pushed for time. Knee pain is a tough one. it’s not all that uncommon when pushing higher squat volume though. See how it feels in your next session, ideally you can change your technique to promote less knee travel making the squat more hip and glute dominant, if not and the pain persists then maybe miss lunges or swap for knee friendly alternatives that hit similar muscles.
My knees don’t hurt, they feel tight and sore- it’s more general fatigue
Oh, you had me worried! sounds like its back to the classic you need to do less on your rest days! let your body recover and repair itself. 
Eat a little more and make sure you sleep as long as possible. Repeated bout effect will start to kick in as well, you get used to the volume, then you start to get stronger

That’s good to hear
Would increasing by about 100cal be okay, or is that too much
I get at least 8 a day
If anything too little, go to 1750 or 1800 for a week or two and see how you feel.
Good, you’re on the right track then and should get good results

Week 2: Day 4- conditioning
8x(1 mile bike+20 air squats+20 pushups)-45min
- took things really easy, got HR up and felt really good and quick
looks like the upped calories are doing you good, just as lean as last pic and a little fuller in the muscles.
