Ha yeah something like that… no matter what I’m going to regret it sunday when the DOMS sets in. carlbms log kind of made me want to try it and he doesn’t seem to enjoy it too much, so I think I’m going to hate it quite a bit.

Widowmakers blow major ass both when you’re doing them an after, but for some reason the damn things make you grow

I did some high rep squats about a year ago, so I’m somewhat familiar with the suck… But of course I was using half the weight I’m using right now. I have a feeling they’re going to be quite the experience.
I already need to buy new pants… my ass and thighs don’t fit in my jeans right now and I feel like a woman putting on her favorite skinny jeans every morning. Gotta jump up and down to get them over my big ol butt and it’s like they’re suction cupped onto my quads. Boxers get bunched up and stuff… maybe I’ll hold off for a month or two and see where the growth starts tapering down and then buy a few pairs.

Everything moved well today and 195 wasn’t bad. I’m thinking in a few cycles there’s going to be a reality check though.
Week one down and it was fairly “easy” relative to GMM. That’s how it always starts though… I was probably a little light on my TMs but I think it’ll be for the better.

TM can never ever be to light, after a year it would be 50 - 100 lbs + if you keep the progression.
Great work, is it doing the required reps of the main sets, then a single with TM and some backoff sounds like good shit. You’ll need a low TM to recover, if you struggle to much with the single it’ll eat into your recovery that is something that sneak up on you.
Nice workouts btw BBS takes forever I think.

Yup that’s exactly what it is. Jim gives many options for the supplemental stuff so I’ll just have to find out what works for each lift. I’ll have to start adding more rest time to the BBS stuff for sure. 2 mins won’t be enough for very long.

Recovery was abysmal over the weekend. Worked Saturday, minimal food. Sunday was my first ever golf outing for a bachelor party. 18 holes, all of the beer in the world, minimal food again. Had a burger, a couple slices of pizza, and a chicken wing all day.
Work has really taken off this past week.

All rest times were 2 mins except SSL which was 90 seconds. Deadlift feels super explosive right now, might be having a few extra days off this week. Couldn’t find the time Monday or yeaterday, so I may either skip a day this week and make up for it next week, or hit bench tomorrow and squat Saturday.
Food intake has been pretty good after last weekend. I am pretty sure Im down a couple lbs though. Lifting belt is feeling loose-ish on the 3rd hole. Might weigh myself tonight after dinner and tomorrow am and compare.

Single piece of a rack of lamb, my pops made it and brought a couple pieces over… The man is a genius with cooking meat. It was absolutely incredible. Saving the other piece from tomorrow, unless the missus decides to eat it.
That looked like a warmup

Bench felt like shit today… tendonitis is creeping back into my right wrist and it hurts like a motherfucker. Wrapped my wrists which felt better, but I hate using the wraps given how light the weight is. I was hoping not using any support on my wrists would make them stronger, which I guess could be true, but I’d rather not have to deal with the pain. My arms/hands have been pretty roughed up over the years and I’m paying for it now.
Squats tomorrow. Diet has been pretty much on point this week so far as I haven’t missed a lunch… I’m probably going to have to start eating more though.
