Incidental side note: When he refused to tell me about the aura farming I told him there was a young guy on here that would explain it to me. :rofl::rofl: You are my interpreter. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

big back is basically our term for ā€œfatassā€. For example, my gf sent a picture of the girl scout cookies she bought in the family group chat so my mom replied ā€œbig backā€

Haha. Great!

I got that after the very 1st session and was worried it was gonna be a thing, but I realized it was because I took the ā€œdeep breathingā€ part as way too much of a challenge and was blowing up like a puffer fish in between reps, lol

This was probably my main selling point - knowing that until I can squat 225x50, I havenā€™t ā€œbeaten the gameā€. Thereā€™s replay value here!

And yeah, Iā€™m worried about those complexes lol

Since theyā€™re quite similar, do you remember how this compares to Juggeryoke? Of everything weā€™re talking about, BtM is actually what scares me the most. That nonstop giant set format just drains me. I blame the olympic lifting years where we would sit around for minutes just to do 1 single.

Make sure to use this addendum that Dan released to help better understand the program. This is legit from his publishers website, not a bootleg.

That might have been what caused. I read about the rib cage expansion and said ā€œbetā€ haha

Not pwn but Iā€™ve run variations of juggeryoke for strongman comps while BtM I use for more GPP focus

Thanks! Thatā€™s extremely helpful

Juggeryoke didnā€™t stand out to me the way these other programs did. I remember appreciating the squatting for time thing, and seeing it as a challenge to beat and getting amped up for that, but his Feast program broke me much harder than Juggeryoke did. So in that regard, Iā€™d say BtM is more of a nutkick.

I could only ever do the program once. I did Feast/Famine/Ferocity 3 times, but on the second 2 runs, when it came time for Feast, I did a different program.

Whenever I re-run it, I want to do conjugate for the feast phase

@T3hPwnisher Do you just sous vide in a normal pot or did you buy one of those plastic containers? Iā€™m fully onboard with getting one now haha

I did both. I used my instant pot to start but purchased a dedicated container

Gotcha. Iā€™m eyeballing a kit with the sous vide, bags, and container for $120 since I donā€™t have any big pots

DW W3D4

Time: 59:25

Push press (3 min rest): 115x10x10

Cable lateral raise: 20x3x10
Strict curl: 50x5x10

3 rounds: 20 reps HLR with block/RH

Notes:

  • Oh buddy today was one of the first portal days. Nothing in the workout itself was hard but I have been dragging ass all day. 1 weak cold brew (upon waking at 6am), 1 monster (at 10am), and 1 shot of cold brew at 3pm. If I didnā€™t have a log, this would have gotten moved but I donā€™t want the Deepwater veterans to judge me
  • There was a good 5 minutes pre and post push press so I could feel sorry for myself but after that it was ā€œquit after the next setā€ until it was done
  • Iā€™m thinking about adding more lateral raises in to match the curl 5x10. Might as well
  • Exam is over so Iā€™ll sleep like a baby tonight. Iā€™m retaking this class so this was something Iā€™ve taken before and I felt really good about it this go around
  • @T3hPwnisher I got the sous vide! Do you have any recommendations for first meat to cook? Everything sounds good so I canā€™t decide
  • I was supposed to go to a concert tonight but it starts at 8pm. The first band is a band I do not like but the second I like a lot. Honestly losing the $40 bucks and not having to go sounds way more appealing than going. Iā€™m fucking beat
  • I had this on for the whole lift. Iā€™ve been getting into EDM for study music so it happened to help me zone out and get this session done. This guys my favorite DJ currently

Push press: Last set of 10x10 at 115

Youā€™re definitely getting the deep water experience there dude!

As for first time sous vide, Iā€™d experiment with a steak. See what itā€™s like to have a steak cooked exactly to whatever temp you want and throw a sear on it when itā€™s done. Once youā€™ve got a feel for that, Iā€™d look at foods you traditionally smoke and see how that goes.

I may have jumped the gun slightly! I found some chuck roast on sale so Iā€™m using those for the 1st experiment. I have them dry brining right now and then following a recipe for 24hrs cook time

2561

Whatā€™s cool is, you donā€™t need to dry brine for sous vide for the future. Itā€™s the benefit of the vacuum seal and long cook. Chuck roast is delicious out of sous vide. I made mine a little extra magical by including some stock and butter in the bag when I sealed it.

Busy weekend. Didnā€™t lift but thatā€™s not as big of a deal with my current schedule. Iā€™ve been feeling off like Iā€™m getting sick the whole weekend but we shall see

@T3hPwnisher the first sous vide experiment was a fail. Gf bumped it enough to where it shut off for a few hours (water got disrupted). Kind tragic but whatever
