Cheers mate, it’s been a while since I’ve done rep work on my big lifts. I wonder where my limit strength is at ![]()
I’d say maybe 300-315 pounds. Work in the 7-9 range and find out
Yeah I was guessing that too. Before kyrpteia I PR’d at 285 x 2 I think, and 265 x 3 with a 3s pause
Did you hit any jokers? You PRd.
I probably should had, but no
I’ll probably do a leader/anchor set up and do 5x5 FSL + Jokers after 2 cycles
Just caught up man.
You can’t just ditch krypteia like that, I was looking forward to see what it would do to you ![]()
On another note nice pr’s and I like the low low TM on the press.
I definitely got bigger and stronger, but the mental grind of doing the same workout every day was a bit too much for me
Cheers, all my TM’s are still pretty low since I only upped them the normal amount from Krypteia, so I’m hitting FSL for 5 sets of 10 pretty easily

Odd numbers only thx
I’m thinking of starting 531 bbb in September, will be following along with great interest!
I’m seriously considering moving gyms.
$25AUD/week for a proper PL and strongman gym with full programming.
I’ve done a trial there before and set a deadlift PR thanks to just one xue I got from the owner
If it’s financially viable I think do it mate.
The gym gives real time return on investment IMO compared to what most people blow their money on
You’re a focused kid, as long as you remember that your effort will dictate the results, not the program or the gym or equipment ![]()

That’s actually a great point I haven’t really considered. I guess the problem for me, right now, is that my sleep, recovery and nutrition are so shit I need all the help I can get ![]()

No warm up
Squat, all 5’s: 3 pullups after every set

- 42.5
- 55
- 62.5 belt on
- 72.5

Shoeless again after a while. I am noticably weaker without shoes, not a huge shock
Wednesday 22nd of May
BBB: W2 C1 Press
TM: 32.5kg
4.5 hours sleep. It’s been a rough week…

Press / Bodyweight Chins:
- 22.5 x 3 / 4
- 25 x 3 / 3

I’m trying to hepburn some bodyweight chins between every set of my main work for each lift. Just because I like chins
Press / Meadows Rows:
- 22.5 x 5 x 10 / Bar + 10kg x 5 x 10

Roughly 45 minutes all up. I’m going to have to pull my training volume back since my sleep is not great. I’ll probably do BBB and no extra arm work on upper body days and just SLBBB and core on lower body days
Since I’ve now got access to some neat conditioning tools, I’m making an executive decision to do Triumvirate instead:
Monday 1: Squat
Tuesday 1: Hills
Wednesday 1: Press
Thursday 1: Loaded Carries (sled, prowler, handles, yoke etc.)
Friday 1: Deadlift
Saturday 1: Hills
Sunday 1: OFF
Monday 2: Bench
Tuesday 2: Loaded Carries
Wednesday 2: Squat
Thursday 2: Hills
Friday 2: Press
Saturday 2: Carries
Sunday 2: OFF
Etc
Just gonna be doing Wenning warm up + AMRAP set + Assistance, since I need to keep workouts sub 1 hour
Sic
And on that note
Thursday 23rd of May

Warm-Up:
- Rusin Warm-Up
Backwards Sled Drag immediately into Sled Rows
- 40m sled drag, turn around and
