Yesterday was a big family day. No training.
Today work was pretty hectic, and kids needed my attention when I got home so once they were all down just snuck in 10 mins of pushups, kb snatches and swings, and squats.
Will get C11.2.2 in tomorrow AM
Still a big win mate
Good reminder that!
Got in a hotel workout on the road today. Off plan this week again, but should finish the cycle steong once home.
I just read @T3hPwnisher ‘s post of “The Method is the Goal”, and realised something. At the start of this year, I wrote a goal of 15 straight 531 cycles.
I dont need to decide what my goal is explicitly (e.g. gain or lose). I need to stick to 531 for 15 cycles. Provided I follow it (compliance is the science), I will end up better off without a doubt.
So with that in mind, it doesnt really matter what i pick next, as long as I stick with whatever I pick.
With that in mind, I am getting an itch to give BBB another run and all my krypteia reps will help with the volume. Just got to commit to the diet.
Edit - link for those who need it Mythical Strength: THE METHOD IS THE GOAL
Really glad you dug that post dude! Its been liberating to be able to make compliance its own goal.
Yesterday morning had a solid C11.3.1 squat workout. I am going back to back to take advantage of a week at home, travel will mess the schedule up soon enough. Feeling it in the legs today though!
Another small win that I should share.
With no travel my diet seems to have settled into the following:
Split over 2 meals, I eat 6 eggs and 3-4 rashers of bacon.
I snack on Greek Yoghurt and apples.
I eat whatever the wife cooks for tea (normally some form of meat, veges and sometimes rice or potatoes).
I’ve steadily reached a set point about 2kg lighter than I was a few months ago. I don’t get hungry and I don’t have crashes or lows.
Seems to be some magic in consistently eating real food, who knew?!
Training today.
Couldnt face a full session so did a quick kettlebell session. 10 sets of 10 reps double 16kg C+J

We spend so long being sick that we forget what it feels like to be healthy. When we eat AWAY from this diet we get used to the feelings of the crashes and the cravings and just assume that’s normal, and then we finally start eating right and feeling right and we think it’s some sort of superpower, when it’s really how we were SUPPOSED to feel the whole time, haha.
Sounds like you’ve got something really solid there dude.
Missed logging a few here.
Did 11.3.2 2 days ago, yesterday I ran 2.1km.
Today was a “prison workout” in a basic hotel. Lots of Lunges, squats, pushups, burpees, bird dogs, etc. Did 22 mins till I was thoroughly sweating and pumped.
C11.3.3 Trap Bar.
This workout got broken into 2 parts due to family life.
Part 1
Trap bar 112.5x5 127.5x5 142.5x5 105x10 105x15
Dips 3,10,10,10,12,15
Then had to go do stuff, came back and hr later and did 5 rounds of
5 Trap bar DL (105), 5 Dips, 10 dbell rows per side, 15 banded pushdowns.
Then did 100 pullaparts.
Few days off with travel. I’ve been doing thinking about my goals as @aholding88 pointed out, and I really struggled to know what they are. I went back to my first post that outlines “the standard” and realised i can probably hit nearly all my strength numbers right now (although my TM’s don’t reflect it, but that is the point of the TM), but I couldn’t hit some of the conditioning ones.
I then started reading TB2 - I think that I need to take a more planned approach to conditioning rather than “just go for a run”.
Once Krypteia is done (last cycle now), I will find a plan that is a bit more suited to extra conditioning and pair it with the base building template from TB2.
