Sweet, nice to have your log to look through. Will have a good look later and get some ideas from your exercise selections and structure. Thanks.
That vest looks great but out of my tight ass budget 
Battle ropes will be sorted this week, Aldi has some for cheap. I was looking at 25kg slam balls, i dont think i could power a 40kg about!

Good session, was very fast paced and was blowing hard. I suck at push press! Will have a few more random tester sessions while i finalise plan and equipment. I have a keg on the way.
Good luck man! His programs have always left me wanting to quit lifting weights, haha.
Since youāre going off the templates, something I liked to do was try to minimize the amount of equipment set up I had to do with my assistance choices. IME the transition between main/supplemental/assistance/conditioning is where I lost minutes on the clock.
Fuck, ive been thinking that already just recently. This may push me over the edge then i had been doing sets of 20 rep squats and deadlifts prior and they sucked the life out of me too.
Defo looking at getting the smoothest transitions between exercises. I have 2 barbells, ez bar, so i can have a barbell in my rack and one set up for another lift, have a fair few fixed dumbells and my gym opens up onto an artificial grass garden so easy to set up my conditining stuff up out there. Didnt take too long tonight to be fair.
When conditioing prescribed did you tend to do the conditioning first or last?
Thatās a pretty slick set up with the garden available too!
I usually did the conditioning at the end, unless it was specifically called out to do it in the beginning. If I were to go back, Iād make myself do it in the beginning because I was always willing to skip it after all the other work.
My thoughts exactly. I sure as shit wont skip the accessory bodybuilding stuff if it was last but i can certainly see myself skipping the conditioning! While my condition sucks for now i will do it last so im not dying before the main work.
Totally get that man, was my rationale as well. Get after it!
Keg on-board. Depressurised it but not taken the valve out yet, will probably fill with water to start with.
you can get up to around 60kg with just water in a regular keg
Hey man!
Saw @T3hPwnisher ās tag on this. Iāve run a few of Brianās programs, actually used to travel up to his gym and workout there once a month or so back in college.
His linear progression program is without question one of my all time favorite ways to train. Just feels good to me, and I find that I pack on the strength pretty quickly. Would run it indefinitely, but I start to plateau after a while. Super customizable, and the workouts go pretty quickly.
I purchased his 4horseman written program, ran that for a bit. Honestly, itās an easy excellent program, but wasnāt for me. Required a bit more equipment than I have at my home gym, and the workouts took at least 80 minutes just due to how long setup was taking, which is longer than I really budget to spend in the gym. That being said, the program was awesome, really make you feel athletic, lots of variety if thatās your jam. Good program, just not great for my limitations. Very āathleticsā based and less just straight āstrength trainingā
I did powerbuilder years ago. Honestly, donāt remember it well enough to give a super detailed review, but I remember I freaking loved it lol. Just did that based off his YouTube videos, which I honestly think is enough for just about anyone, plus it allows you to tailor it to the equipment you actually have available.
Heard great things about dark horse, never ran it myself.
@hugh_gilly carried one full of beer across macro car park so knew just fluid would add up to a decent weight. 60kg is plenty!
@atlas13 thanks, good to have a few people to bounce a few thoughts off and logs to check out as i go. The athletic conditioning side of the neversate stuff is my main reason for choosing to do one, ive failed at being a ābodybuilderā far too many times so will aim for being more badass instead.

New Alsruhe fan, here. A little over midway through my first NEVERSATE program (RPM Full Body). Just saw on YT that the updated version of Darkhorse is now available.
