Came into this not expecting much. I’ve had a long weekend away from home, undereating and drinking too much beer (nice), so I was almost not even going to bother with this today. I surprised myself by being able to grind through all of the reps and hit a PR (and then follow it up with 4 more of the same).
I skipped lunch on Friday and breakfast on Saturday, but tried to make up for it at dinner. We went out both nights and I decided to treat myself. 16oz grass fed flank on Friday night (outstanding) and an 18oz ribeye on Saturday (burnt to shit and underwhelming, but still ate the whole thing).

I miscalculated the Widowmaker set a week or so ago, thought I had to do 275 but it turns out I actually had to hit 255. I’m perfectly fine with having to give up those 20lbs. This was rough all the way through. Fatigue is sky high right now.
I’m extremely happy to be finished with this program. It was as difficult as I imagined it would be and I’m proud to say I made it through without missing any reps. Might do a quick recap tonight or tomorrow.
Wanted to throw down a quick plan on paper before heading into work. My body feels beat to shit right now! I think a quick “break” will do me all sorts of good at this point. I’m going to take a week or so away from any sort of substantial volume and focus on just moving some heavy shit.
My plan is just to work up to a heavy double or triple on the main movements (S/B/D/P) while taking a day of rest in between. Might hit a couple sets of light-ish accessory stuff and keep conditioning out entirely. I’ve been doing a stupid amount of walking, stair climbing, ladder climbing and overall general movement at work this past month. My legs and back are so tired I just need them to recover a TINY bit, then get started on WFSBIII.
I’m feeling weak as hell right now. The last squat and DL days had me moving the bar veerryyy slow. I think once I start rebounding out of the fatigue I’ll be singing a different tune.
I’m going to start by removing the buns from my breakfast sandwiches and also removing some carbs from dinner which I think will be fairly sufficient to begin with. Also, I’ll be replacing at least one meal a day with either chicken breast or ground turkey. I’m still looking to keep food quantity high, but make less calorically dense choices.
