It's surprisingly heavy on legs and will kick your arse if you challenge yourself. One of my favorites.

I decided on Filling Out the Hoodie, two days in and really liking it so far.

I'm doing Filling Out the Hoodie also (for the first time). In the same spot with day 3 being tomorrow. I can for sure tell that I've been missing some of the aux lifts. Biceps, shoulders, and (especially) triceps are feeling it currently.

Coming off Big Back Billy and Squatober, I wanted something a little less legs and back focused. Need to give them a little break before Deadcember.

Quick one to keep the knees loose. Planning to get to sleep as early as possible tonight. 3:30am workouts come quick.

Good one today. Aaron should've just eleiminated the cardio today due to all the plate changes. Those first few rest periods went QUICK. Overall squat wasn't bad. I did need to throw on my knee sleeve to eliminate a little discomfort. Pullups have always been a struggle for me. So 2 on the minute every minute got rough by set 6.

Hoping there is very little shoulder work tomorrow. Right shoulder was already a little tender before the pullups today.

Today wasn't bad at all. Took me a little longer than anticipated. By the time I finished stretching and warm-up sets, I was 20 min in before I unracked the first working set.

The last 2 sets of 5 were fun/hairy/(pick an adjective). Weight is starting to stack up and I felt a little tenderness in my left knee. Might throw on a sleeve for a few days and see how it goes.

LOVED the zerchers. I hadn't done these before Squatober. Worked up to 185 and could've probably gone a touch heavier. I'd say the arm discomfort (not necessarily pain) was the limiting factor, not the legs.

Rows moved nicely and I bumped up the weight on sets 4 and 7.

That was a long arse workout today. Little suprised the rest time for bench was longer than deadlift. I wasn't sure if the tempo note on cardio was for the superset or just the pushups. I went with the slow tempo for the first set and quickly decided it was meant for just the pushups. Pushdowns and 21s at that slow tempo was torture!

I think yall are underestimating yourselves. Don't get me wrong, it was definitely heavy but not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Like the notes said, I went mostly unbroken. I think I took a breath or 2 to rebrace myself in the middle of the last set. Honestly, the fatigue on the 10 sets of bench was worse. I went heavier than written on bench (53% vs 40%). 40% was just way too light. Adding in stretching, 6 warm-up sets on squat, 2 on bench, locating weights, and clean-up all came in under an hour.

Thie one had my heart pumping! The tempo push-ups actually weren't as bad as I was expecting. After doing this style of RFESS, I was absolutely dreading these. Hoping for a less intense workout tomorrow. Something with heavy weight but slower-paced tempo.

Much quicker day than yesterday. Simple and straight-forward. Enjoyed the Zerchers at the end. These are new to me and (since there isn't a recommended weight) I'm still trying to find the correct weight to use. I hope he throws these in a couple more times.

Got it done this morning, but took way longer than the anticipated 55-60 min.

Long one today, but not overly heavy. Worst of it was the curl/carry superset. That was only really due to my forearms getting fatigued by the last couple sets.
