Nice! Yeah that’s the same one I snagged basically. I think the extra cash was worth it for the quality.
I don’t think I’ll be outpacing my wife for a while on our morning walks…
The other evening, I put my French Bulldog, Witten, into a doggie backpack I bought (he’s 30#) and went on a walk to the mailbox. It was still 90 degrees outside so he overheated a little so he can’t go more than a half mile with us on walks until it cools off.
This MIR is going to be the ticket I think.

Anyone who has read this log knows I don’t mind and it’s subject to go down just about any road imaginable.

Holy cow… I wore that MIR loaded with the 50# around the house for about 10 minutes (mostly me sitting at the desk working) and it’s going to take some time to get used to. My traps are on fire.

Alright, @mortdk, here are the results of my little project. I don’t know if or when I’ll run this, but it’s a combination of Alpha’s stuff and the simple, double progression that @isdatnutty has been promoting. The main lifts have light (10-12 reps), medium (7-9 reps), and heavy (4-6 reps) phases. This is for the bodybuilder. I’ve offset the “assistance” work with the opposite loading - lighter for the heavy days, medium gets stuck with medium. and heavier loading on the light days.
The first giant set is a variation of the main lift combined with its antagonist or explosive movement, abs, and a heart rate exercise. The second giant or superset is the actual main lift coupled with its antagonist or other explosive stuff. The first giant set will have rest after each round. Everything else will be rounds for time. The loading for the second giant or superset is supposed to light (50, 60, and 70%). Actually doing the program might reveal otherwise, though.

Just ask the people who actually commit to tag it in their training log. And anyone who’s out to remove it. Then you can just click on the tag and see a list of every log for people who are still in.
At the minute I believe we have:

Woke at 211.4 lbs. I was under my calories by like 1300 going into dinner. Dinner was a shade under 700 and then I just went to town. I ate handfuls of Honey Bunches of Oats, drank some Peach Crown Royal, and my wife made banana bread with blueberries. I was eating that all the way up until bedtime.
Thanks for that! @ChickenLittle is in, but doesn’t have the tag.

Thank you! Got it!
That was a nice layout J, but the assistance giant sets for time, ho boy they are gonna suck. I did Darkhorse and no way I could do anything for time after the first giant set.
Gonna be fun to see which of us committed dudes will go through the rest of the year with the same program. 1 day and it all starts.

I’m just looking forward to being able to train without massive limitations! And the giant sets for time would only be as bad as you make them. I would just go from one exercise to the next until I completed all the sets and reps. Rest as needed, but nothing structured.
Any smart plans for how we keep track of everyone’s plans @Frank_C?
