Yeahhh! Simo!!!
Keep eating that food buddy!!!
Man I am so excited to watch you grow!!!
I do not know if SS has it own dietary requirements past GOMAD (Gallon of milk a day). But whenever I’m gaining I try and stick to the BtM type of diet:
12 eggs
1 & 1/2lb (700g) of mince
All the carbs and veg that go with that.
Its a very simple “diet” but it gets the job done. Are you going to keep up with the burpees as well? Whats your plan there? Just maintain the standard of fitness and use them to help recover?
Eat 3 meals a day along with drinking 1/2 a gallon of milk but, the goal should be to work up to a gallon.
The milk acts as a supplement and you could also drink The Get Big Drink as well.
There is a sample diet that involves sandwiches (which would work) but you pretty much eat a lot of Whole Foods: protein, veggies,fruits,carbs, fats.
But honestly there’s really no rules on the quantity of food you have to eat. You either add or subtract depending on how quickly you want to gain weight. In my opinion, for a program like Super Squats, more is better than less but to each their own.

The plan is to keep the burpees on the non gym days but I wont do any really high rep sessions and none of the amrap challenges that other people put out. I think the movement really helps reduce the soreness and keeps me mobile.

Yeah - I think keeping some sort of conditioning in there will as you say stop soreness and it will also make you more awesome!

This is not that far away from what I am eating. I added my meal plan above before I started SS.
Essentially yesterday I ate 600g meat (so slightly under 700 but I am a halfling), 6 eggs (I don’t know how anyone can eat 12 eggs for breakfast). 2 big protein shakes made with milk, rice, veggies, toast, peanut butter, banana, and some more milk to fill in the gaps.
I plan to try and eat a little more on non gym days as I have more time in the evening to gorge myself.

I will be fair - I’ve not really hit the 12 eggs a day target often. 6 is standard. 8-10 easy. But when I did hit all 12 I found the best way was chili & eggs.
I would make a chili up with my daily mince measure. And then serve it 3 times a day with 4 eggs. Every meal of the day was 200-250g of chili + rice + scrambled eggs.
Sorry dude missed it. Teach me for skim reading.

No need to apologize mate, I dont really expect people to read even half of the crap I write. Its usually just me doing a brain dump and getting down somewhere. LOL

Got in some conditioning today with …you guessed it Burpees. Same Interval session as Tuesday. 37 sec work 10 sec rest, 7 burpees per round, 15 rounds. Total 105 burpees.
Followed this up with a hot bath and some self massage with the massage gun. Got to loosen the legs up ready for tomorrow.

Different type of dump altogether 
Friday 29th April - SS W 1.3
Seated BNP
55 x 10 x 3 sets (121 lbs) 10, 10, 10
This got real interesting real quick. Second set was better than the first. Can’t believe I got 3 sets. Happy
Bench press
90 x 12 x 3 sets - (198 lbs) 12, 12, 12
Yes finally got that 12 rep
Bent over row

Got them done but a little too much body movement in the last few reps. Going to stay at this weight for at least 1 more session.
Standing curl

Still awkward with a fair bit of cheating going on. Still good arm pump though.

Fk yer. No anxiety tonight just pure hatred aimed at the bar. It moved well.

Crazy lower back pump, headache and dizzy after these.
Db Pull over

Abs - hanging knee raises - some
That’s week 1 done. Only 15 more sessions to go. There must be something about Friday nights or I just ate better yesterday because I felt strong tonight. I knew from the start the squat would be horrible but I also knew it wasn’t going to be a problem. Happy with how this week has gone.
Weighted myself after the gym tonight. Last Friday after my session I was 88kg (194 lbs) this week 89.6kg (197 lbs). I need to start weighing myself in the morning but I am happy with that either way.

Todays strongman Saturday sessions was a ‘lite’ version.
10 sandbag pickups - 10 burpees after each one (total 100). Worked up a sweat and moved some blood around but it wasn’t hard. Now to start eating silly amounts of food for 2 days and be ready for next week.

So yesterday I felt pretty crappy, just tired and stiff and a little beat up. Which worried me a little given it was only the first week of super squats. Today woke up and it is a whole new day. Got a good sleep last night and feel way better today. Still a little soreness here and there but that is totally normal for me. Feel light and movement is good. Now looking forward to some more squats tonight.
