Gonna try something new with this program.
I haven’t been setting timers for the work I am doing. Just… Trying lol
In order to speed up things I am gonna implement 40 sec work 20 second rest on wennings warm up, and emom on the main kryptiea work and then 40 work 20 rest on the additional assistance I do (cable face pulls and pull throughs)
Will test out tonight
Ok was gonna test tonight but … The scratchy through I woke up to has only gotten worse all day. Not feeling great and don’t wanna spread the gunk. Sick…

That’s some of Brians work, You’re doing everything to make things harder.
@mortdk Yep. It actually wasnt bad. Just wanted to test it out.
Things I liked … Jump squats didn’t kill me. Will probably do wendlers box jumps/broad jumps before each lift just the same (not unheard of he listed box jumps before deadlifts as an example in forever).
Direct core work… I know he says we get enough with the main lifts and goblet squats in the program but… I am bad about forgetting to brace properly. The easy core work mixed in helped remind me I needed to.
Timed working and rest sets. Usually I just rest however long I thought I needed timing it and hearing the count down sort of mentally triggered me to go.
20:10 on my warm up work actually felt pretty good.
Things I didn’t like 20:10 and 40:20 assistance work. Just wasn’t feeling it. Will probably go back to just making sure I get my 4x25’s in. Maybe just time my rests on that.

Ok so 2 more day I am I am done with the first 3 weeks.
Thoughts so far… It’s boring as hell. BBB is less boring than this. I started adding a few little things just to keep my bordom in check but it hasn’t been enough.
Yup looks very boring on paper, but lifting weights is about doing the same shit over and over again.
Keep pushing Cherry.
You should at least get to phase 2
@mortdk blheg lol not gonna lie I will probably keep my added bit of stuff to this just so I can get through phase 1.
It’s… The assistance that’s killing me. I thought I could handle it and I can’t. I can get through 3 more weeks but the idea of doing 9 more weeks on top of that is gonna drive me insane. I need some variety in my assistance movements.

Do what you need to to stay consistent! There’s no rule saying you have to stick with a program or aspects of one that you hate. I respect @mortdk’s opinions, but I think your inclination is the best in this case, @ladycherryblossom.
I’m just holding Cherry up on her commitment made less than a month ago 
I won’t blame you Cherry if you decide to change up a bit. Krypteia is a true hard working program by Jim.
If you can handle the extra work you’re doing by all means go ahead. Or you could push the assistance even harder LOL.

@mortdk It currently isn’t hard. It’s monotonous. It’s boring. Even pushing the assistance wont change that. I honestly didn’t think it would be so bad.
But you are doing what I asked you too. Yelling at me (a little) for thinking about it. Whether I choose to care will be the question LOLOL
