re: Daily Strength Check-In

So I haven't been posting, but I'm on week 2 of the krypteia prep phase. Tonight was

Squats-ssb for 5s pro
Squats- ssb- FSL
Dips
Chins

I can't get the 10 chins for all 6 sets so I do as many as I can and finish it out using thick grip v-grip pulldowns.

So far really liking kypteria. Going to finish out the full 17 weeks, prolly stretching to 18 then depending on my bf% I'll run again if I want to add mass or run off-season for conditioning if needing to loose more bodyfat.

It's in the forever book in the wendler folder. It's the last program in the book. Great program, pretty much one big giant set. Simple, intense, great for conditioning, but if you eat also great for mass.

It's the program he uses while training the HS football players he trains.

Try to make sure you get enough sleep, but looks fine to me. As long as your form isn’t breaking down you should be good.

ETA: By limited rest I meant between sets. Just want to make that clear.

That's not a bad thing. Limited rest between sets will help with cardio and work capacity.

The only negative is when it impacts form and weight. If you hit your #'s with good form, the shorter the rest periods, the better.

My bad, thought you meant sleep. Nothing wrong with limiting time between sets.

5 giant sets of 300x3 SSB box squats, glute ham raise, hip thrusts, copenhagens and sissy squats.

Tabata air bike to finish.

Rest day

Having to cram this week with no rest days.

Krypteia week 2 day 3

Close grip bench- 5s pro
Cgbp-fsl
Kb front squats- 6 sets of 10 with the 35 kb ssldl- 6 sets of 10 with 35 kbs

Will finish out this 3 week cycle, next I will be going to the 53lbs bells. I am in good enough shape now that I am finishing this within 30 min usually. Goal is 45, I am doing 30 easily with plenty of rest.

Will keep the 53s through the other phases also.

I will also be adding abs, will be doing one of the athelean x videos from YouTube.

Hoping my house sells fast, but honestly hoping not until end of the summer. I want to finish this krypteia program before I lose the home gym and I want the pool for the summer lol.

Prolly be 12-18 months with just weighted vest, rings, KBS, dumbbells, and prolly the prowler sled with a couple 45s and thick rope.

That is plenty to progressing like crazy but gonna be weird as it's been 5 years of consistent barbell work since I really started lifting again hard.

Definitely not gonna let myself slip, gonna become a fricking beast on the rings, bodyweight and bells.

Split jerk 3x1-185
OHP 5/3/1-135/155/170
OHP 5x10-125
Pull Ups 5x5
Preacher Curls 3x10
Crunches 3x10

The last strength set of OHP was HARD AF. However, I hit every rep on the volume set for the first time at 125. So, getting stronger. Also, I’m kind of proud of the 5x5 for pull-ups. I struggle with pull-ups so damn much. I might take it easy tomorrow. I was feeling rough this a.m. Probably gonna hit the heavy bag tomorrow morning, then finish the week with deadlifts on Saturday morning.

Bench: 135, 4x3, 1x10
Squat: 135, 3x10
Lat Pulldowns: 55, 2x15, 1x25
