Bench
Bar x 10
70 x 5
90 x 3
100 x 2
110 x 3 x 3 sets (242 lbs) RPE 8, 8, 8

Pull ups - BW +25
3 x 3 sets

Prowler 80kg
10 runs

Legs were very sore from the burpee squat jumps yesterday. But it didn’t effect me at all. I am working under the premise that I have two bodies, a burpee (conditioning) one and powerlifting (gym) one and that they are mutually exclusive. I am going to keep pushing both of them in parallel.
In reality I only have one body and it is always sore but who cares.
Good last session for year, now to celebrate and recover with lots of good food.
Happy new year to everyone and hope 2022 is a year of progress for you all. Simo

Awesome work as always. Know what you mean about feeling slow and immobile playing with the kids, need to keep pursuing the conditioning stuff myself.

…and my vote goes for red shoes diaries!

Like the savoury stomach and the sweet stomach? It’s a good theory.

Happy New Year Simo. Although, I suspect you’ve already started.

Welcome to 2022 and to the new log title guys and gals. Join me for a year of barbells and burpees, with lots of hard work but also some fun along the way.

@ChongLordUno and @T3hPwnisher I talk a little about the challenge and adding this type of conditioning work to my training at the end of this video. Only really repeating what you guys have known for a long time but you might enjoy it.

Here you go @Koestrizer and @Cyrrex here is my effort. These are actually quite difficult, my wrists didn’t like it at all😂

Got in 100 burpees this afternoon to just move some blood around. Pace was just over 10 mins and didn’t feel too horrible. I am trying to make the 10 min per 100 pace a standard but I need to do a little more work to make this happen.
I am still sore from the @ChongLordUno challenge from Thursday, mostly in the legs but right knee is a little angry too.

Nice stuff there, brave of you to go straight to the concrete like that. Some people who shall not be named like to lay down lacy little pillows first.

Loving the new log title, but now I’m thinking this would have been a good choice:

Happy new year Simo, you unit!

I did think that but I plan to add some other things this year and I can’t keep adding them to the title :joy: Happy new year to you too Alex.
