405lbs/183kg x1
425lbs/192kg x6 (Easy PR here, super happy with it, not in any sort of peak and only been training about once a week recently. Barely had to step into my primal emotion bank to get this set done. 545lbs/274kg x1 feels within grasp soon)

Well boys, I’m gonna fucking wreck myself for about 9 weeks this summer. Been working on a little project program that me and a buddy are gonna run.
What I’m gonna get out of it- (Hopefully)
A new 20rm Squat
A new viper press PR
A new deadlift PR single + a really crazy deadlift set.
I talked to my coach and even got him in on a little bit of the program to help optimize it. The first 4 weeks are gonna be some really really intense fatigue accumulation then week 5 will be a transition week, where I’ll choose my theoretical 20rm squat to chase as well as the weight for my “Rip your face off” deadlift. Then Week 6-9 will be my behavioral peak for squats and deads and a neurological peak for viper press. Regardless I’ll have fun and wreck myself and come out with some new muscle added on.
Then I’ll get back with my coach and start prep for static monsters in Houston this year. Where hopefully I’ll get a 300 log over my head.
I’ll play it smart and by my transition week is when I’ll actually decide my appropriate weights but I’d really like hit 315 x20 on squats and 405 for some ungodly amount of reps using rest pause until I literally cannot budge it off the ground…
This program was really inspired off watching @T3hPwnisher do deepwater badass… the brutality of it at least and his robotic attitude towards it’s brutality.
@strongmanvinny2 once I have this program written out I’m sending it to you so you can see the depths of my sadomasochist training haha… because this program is probably as painful as it’ll get for me haha.

Means a lot dude. Excited for how it goes for you.
For clarity sake, I was just doing Deep Water. Deep Water Badass is a different program by the same author. Still crazy, but needs equipment I lack.
Kill it.

Thought y’all might be interested in having a look. So far this is week 1, I’ll add a week a day until I reach week 9, then I’ll start this program once my coach gives me the go ahead!

Your program may be more epic then what I’m doing, but my pfp is just as good as yours.

Man pain training is going to breed the winner in you for sure. Pushing yourself to a place you do not want to go is very important. Doing it often is even more important. A lot of my training around your age was full of brutal pain and conditioning training, and it paid off.
Looks like a good template, just be wary of how hard you are pushing at times. Dial it back a bit when you know you need to save yourself for another workout that demands performance. Aside from that, let the blood sweat and tears be the wind in your sails young savage

@strongmanvinny2 thanks man, you’re log is always a gem to check in on too!
As of right now I’m going dark, on social media and the log. Not sure how long, could be a few months, could be a year. I’ll drop by and give updates occasionally. I’ve got work to do and people to our work. All my mental effort is going into this.
