Same here. Killed the walks today. I’m going up to 35s next time.


Always curious what others use for certain lifts outside of the core bench/squat/deadlift lifts

I used 30s for overhead walks week one. I may bump to 30s were def pushing it. I may wait and go to 35s week three.

W1D3 done. Looks like I have freakin' tennis elbow. I'll do what I can to keep going but I'll find substitutes if it bothers me too much.

If you couldn’t quite fit the rest of the program into your schedule due to travel would you: A) back off the %s/weight a little bit if we need to and just run week3 and 4 as 2 on 1 rest til done. Make the rest days total rest no cardio or conditioning. B) stick with current schedule but just pick 2 days from week 3 (prolly 1 and 4) to compress the program. Keep doing cardio/conditioning in 2 of the 3 rest days. C) Stick with schedule and just not finish the program.


Due to my work and then personal travel this month I’m about to try and do all of week 3 consecutively, two days off on travel, then all of week 4 consecutively. Only way I can finish this month without a 3 week gap

Just finished W3D1. Last step on bench and the extra 10m on the farmers walks were tough. Been using the 88# KBs for farmers walk and 44# for OH carry. Definitely felt the burn with the added distance

W3D1 was tough. The 80% staircase!

I only use 70# dumbbells for carries, 88# KBs is legit

I may be taking my break from the barbell this month after all. Upper back and the rest of me is fine, but I missed week 2 and I won’t be able to do week 3. Life happened.

I’m going to focus on cardio for this week, then reevaluate next week. May restart at week 1 next week and just be way behind.

Stairs felt great for both. I probably had 2 more reps in the tank. Really feeling those extra 10 yards on carries. One more set to go. My pinkies came close to giving out on that last one.

W3D1 done. Felt good but took about 80 minutes. Didn’t think an extra 10 yards on the walks would make a huge difference but after the 2nd set was feeling it

Yes these workouts are high enough % that we are taking a lot more of the prescribed rest here. I did hit 150x6 on all the seated OHP sets and shoulders are all lit up. Good workout (w3d1)

I'm breaking from the barbell in March. I'm going to 5 day/week, body weight, dumbell, and HIIT. I'll start back in April on PPSA

I have to bow out as well. Really disappointed but this forearm/tennis elbow bullshite is pretty painful right now. I need to regroup and figure out what I can actually do and focus on that. I'm thinking deads, squats, leg press, core and whatever I can do on the Smith machine.

That’s a bummer. Hopefully it resolves soon. A few weeks of avoiding movements that bother it completely isn’t a terrible idea in my experience.

Focus on deads, squat(ssb if you have it or add straps to hold bar on back, no straight bar or goblet squat) calves, nordics or other hamstring curling exercise, hamstring stretching exercise, glute thrust, calves calves calves

And then for upper body try static holds like bench, hanging from pull-up bar with weight for time, top of dip for time(rings are amazing for this)

Do the above for 4 weeks, then add in some isometrics for 2 weeks and then see how you feel with lifting.
