I’m in the middle of the simple superset and struggling to balance on rfess, everything else hasn’t been too bad but I’m sore as shite.
I use off set kbs to work on balance and may struggle with that on this program

after showering, eating, and going for my walk I decided that in fact my back is pretty damn tired after squats, deadlifts, rows, and carries.

Same. I’ve never done them before. Definitely an exercise that needs some practice.

I had been doing Bulgarians the last few months so I was ok. I think it was last year when I started working on grip strength and carrying a kb around at work so these carries aren't bothering me.
But my back is fatigued and sore. My left knee is sore and the bottom of my right foot told me to frick off after the workout tonight. I'm dreading that stairway for squats tomorrow. I'll make it though.
In other news, I bought Arm Farm and the Seesaw earlier and printed them out. February, I may run Benchamin Franklin. April and May Pool Season 1 & 2. I'll have to figure out something for March.

Made it all the way up the Stairway to Strongville this morning.
I felt I could have probably grinded out another 2 reps on squats if AA hadn't capped us at 5.
Bench was a different story. I had to push to finish my last two reps.

Squat was the same for me. I thought the bench would be a problem after 3 but I got under for the 4 reps and knock the 4 and 5 out.
Had to use an alternate for the cardio. Db skulkcrushers it is and it sucked. But it’s 5:30am and I’m done!

Same. Squats felt about right. I probably could have gotten another rep or 2 if I really pushed it, but I know there are more squats to follow tomorrow so I didn't.
Bench felt like I could have gone heavier. I actually increased my weight for steps 3 and 4 by 5 lbs, and felt like I could have knocked out 3 to 4 more reps on the last step if needed. May need to increase my bench TM after this week.
Overall, felt like a pretty easy workout. Much less volume, which was welcomed. I did get a good pump on triceps by doing slow, controlled band push-downs.

Agreed. Definitely glad I chose to do Squatober at 93% of 1RM. Usually I do the PPSA programs at my 2020 1RM.
Usually use bands for triceps stuff but just got a pulley system for the garage gym and used the rope, OUCH!

I've been doing those and didn't know what to call it
I usually go higher on static leg and use the safety bars on the squat rack

Oh yes, I am that. I had to pull out everything yesterday with the knee sleeves and belt.

so couple of tips
1) if you have been lifting a while....90% always works best imo and honestly thats the upper limit. especially on 5 day a week programs or programs like S&J, strongville and periodic table of thickness.
2) dont raise your Tm on any lift until after the month. overall fatigue will set in and you will regret raising it. I promise you will get plenty of strength gained even with doing very sub max weights. If you feel its too light, work on rep speed, pause at the bottom and explode, slow the reps down and work overall on technique.
at the end of the month, you can raise it a good bit if you feel you need to.
glad to see everyone enjoyed the stairway to strongville.

Bulgarian split squats are what I’m used to calling them. Had to look RFESS up when I saw it the first time in a program.
Posted on 10/6/22 at 7:43 am to tke_swamprat
Just finished The Pressure Cooker. I got 18 sets but I feel like I’m a good bit lighter than most of you. I don’t know if it was cheating but I did 3 set bunches before putting the bar down for the first 5 minutes.

I had a sharp pain in my back on the way up on the 4 set of stairs this morning. Felt it every time I laid up from the bench.
Hope this shite goes away

I find that RFESS work better when I put my back leg on something lower than a bench. I use the safety straps since they're more adjustable or the foam roll on a leg extension.
Did you buy it or make it? Been thinking about making one with a rope and tying some plates to it. Seems simple enough

Just annoying is all. Popped some diclofenac when I got home this morning, so it should ease up

Is that the go to for all pain? I noticed the bottles say it’s for arthritis pain.
Posted on 10/6/22 at 8:59 am to Lazy But Talented
It's my go to for acute pain like that. I don't take it long term or even for multiple days.
