This is always a good way to really test those max heart rate calculators. 220-my age (35) = 185. Hold my beer; I’m gonna hit 190.
I’m probably the leanest and heaviest I’ve been. I’m up a few kilograms of what seems like solid mass vs this time last year. I love HIIB100, but I also love trying to go heavy and get stronger.
I’m thinking of running original deep water from begginer through.
Anyone actually done and completed it other than pwnisher?
Not sure who else has tried it tagging in @T3hPwnisher as he may well know of others
@oldbeancam has done it I think but doesn’t have a log and there’s another guy on here who did have a log but I can’t remember his name.
I ran the first few weeks of it before injuring my shoulder. I dont blame the program at all and was really bummed that I couldnt continue. Still plan on doing it again if I can get my arm right. I think you would like it and excel. Also @T3hPwnisher was really helpful and knew tons about the program.
@kleinhound do you still use the down dog app?
Just saw that I was tagged about DW. I didn’t finish the entire program, but made it through week 11 I believe and plan on running it again sometime in the near future.
It’s probably my favorite “cookie-cutter” program I’ve ever ran and I recommend it for anyone who wants a challenge, is content with not testing maxes every other week and completely trust the process.
Yeah a bit man
@theonecamko also ran the program.
Will always have positive things to say about its results.
I found the app through your log and am quite happy with it, I must say. Cool that you are still using it after all this time!
I’m not as consistent as I used to be, but it’s super handy to break out any time. I’ll use it as a mobility warm up sometimes with quick flow, or for a big stretch if I’m really sore.
I love that it changes all the time too
I’ve been doing a full practice in the morning to wake up, and a restorative session before bed, just to create the habit. Been using it for two weeks, and it still seems novel. As a point of comparison, I’ve also been trying out ROMWOD and after just 5 days of that it’s clearly just 7 poses with small variations.
The music (Down Dog) is killer. And I reached out to them and requested a “avoid”-feature (like boost, but the opposite) to work around injuries and they said they’ll implement it!
(yes, this is me swooning. Over an app…)
Deep water begginer w1d1
- Light deadlifts 3x10
- Squats 10x10
- Lunges 3x10
- Sit ups and back extension 3x20
Total time 51:32
Didn’t really time rest periods, just went as needed.
Pretty bloody tough
Did you just go by feel on the ‘light technique’ days or have a specific % cut off?
Eg. Light Deads before squats
I pretty much never operate with percentages unless I’m forced to. I used pretty close to my 10x10 weight. Maybe 20-30lbs less.
Sweet thanks man. Yeah pretty much what I did today and didn’t negatively impact the 10x10
Cheers brother
Legs are sore already. Good times.
