Got in some conditioning today with …you guessed it Burpees. Interval session - 37 sec work 10 sec rest, 7 burpees per round, 15 rounds. Total 105 burpees.
I was a little sore from last nights gym session but moved really well tonight and felt good after.

I’ve said it more than once - squatting like this is 99% in the head. When I ran a programme that required 20 rep squats after the 1st work out of week 5 I had a cry in the shower afterwards. I was so worried about the fact I had most of week 5 and then week 6 to deal with. And what you are doing is harder.

How is the food coming along? Getting the calories in?

The food is going good. Been very consistent with the meals. I can already see that the food is going to be just as tough as the squats by the end of this. I need to up the intake a little more each day this week but so far so good.
