Really excited to see what those changes are gonna do for you! Will be interesting to follow along on your crazy journey
Always good to have your support mate. Hopefully I will learn something along the way that I can share with everyone else.

Few more burpees tonight. Interval session again, 37 sec on 12 sec rest, 7 reps per round, 20 rounds. Total 140 reps. Nice pace, hard but not crazy.

I like these type of workouts. When I get to the PI and have less equipment I think I’ll try incorporating them in.

This was brutal tonight looked like I had been in the shower at the end.
Good deload session, got a great pump and hit a bench PR. Who wouldn’t be happy with that.

You should deff do that Harry. Find a heavy rock or a keg or something and add in carry’s, squats worn awkward objects, overhead with awkward objects and burpees and you can do a lot of damage in 30 mins.

Strongman Saturday sandbag work again today.
Deload week so change the session a little. Did 1 carry followed by 20 burpees for 5 rounds. I made the carry a little longer than last time which really got the lungs on fire. Trying to breath whilst bear hugging a sandbag is one of the most unpleasant training things I have done.

Ok so I did a few burpees today and recoded a fun thank you video for 100 YouTube subs
In other news I have tested positive on a RAT test so will be isolating for 7 days.
My son was unwell on Friday and I started to feel a bit crap yesterday and worse today. Just very hot and have a scratchy throat / cough.
Looks like I won’t be starting super squats for another week. I will still do some burpees and body weight training from home and hopefully won’t feel any worse.

No good mate. Keep the fluids and food up and you should be sweet as.
You’re fitness should carry you well you’d think.
Feeling even unwell with covid makes you realise how important being fit and well is to begin with. Imagine how bad it would have been if we zero interest in health and fitness…

Still feeling pretty crap today. Really just like a bad head cold with a scratchy throat.
Managed a short burpee session. 50 x 2 pump burpees with a 2 squat chaser. Just took it slow and it didn’t feel great but was ok. Sweated a bit and then soaked in a hot bath whilst watching 2005 world strongest man final.
Will eat and drink lots tonight and hopefully feel a little better after a sleep.

Feel better soon simo.
Few more burpees today. 20 min session,
1 x 1 pump, 1 x 2 pump, 1 x 3 pump and 1 squat as many rounds as possible.
I got 43 rounds today which is not the best number but given that I am still full of virus it was the best I had.

more conditioning today to chase the covid away.

Second conditioning session of day 4 of isolation. I did a workout which is a break down of the navy seal where you seperate the movements.
5 x 1 pump burpees
10 push ups
10 mountain climbers
20 rounds
This took me a little over 30 mins and was a real chest pumping, obliques burning, lung busting session.
