Getting nervous yet?

Ha ha funny you say that. Deciding to do a primer week this week and run the program with lighter weights and 3 sets of 10 squat instead of the 20 reppers, has been really good for me. I can see how the sessions will go and have gained a little confidence. On the flip side though my lungs are puffing hard on 12 reps so I am cacking myself. Lol.
Did a video on my strength training and also video a complete session last night and did a commentary. Might be mildly interesting if you are really bored😂

Fatsique update
Took a couple of pics tonight as a starting point before running Super squats. Not the best camera work but they will do. Also weighed myself and was 88kg (194 lbs).

Was thinking the same thing. Looking good @simo74 - as I like to say. Solid. Not the sort of guy you want running at you ball in hand!

Thanks mate, long time since I ran with a ball in my hands. I would probably pull a hammy 
I hear you. I too am “too old”. And I have the constant pain to prove it.
It’s good though.
Did you play? Which position?

Only at school mate and the odd game for shits and giggles with mates. Usually at scrum half or fly half.
Wow - looking at those quads I half expected a position where you had to do something physical. I thought maybe loose forward. Or maybe a barn storming inside center…

Sandbag and burpees today. Did pick up and carry with the 80kg (176 lbs) bag followed by 20 burpees. Did 5 rounds for a total of 100 burpees. Moved he turnaround point slightly to make it the longest carry with this bag yet. Had my son (9 yrs) train with me today. I took some of the weights off my weight vest and put 6kg each in 2 cloth shopping bags. He Did farmers carry with 6kg in each hand and some burpees too. Good session.
