[quote]Thinking about stacked, jacked, and turning heads next, but I only have about an hour and 20 min a day. Anybody know if it’s doable?[/quote] Over the past two years, I've run it 5 times; I would usually take between 65 - 80 minutes. You definitely can't follow the prescribed rest times and...

[quote]I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought today was a hell of a start to Deadcember.[/quote] Same here. I initially thought it looked like a day to ease us in, but it was deceptively hard. ...
Squatober 2023 is in the books! I've enjoyed this program the past three years, but this year has been my favorite programming. Get to throw the 2023 shirt on for Trick or Treating tonight. I hit my PR goal of 325 (107%) up from 315 last year. I'll take it. I skipped the 105% attempt (which still...
Made it all the way to Strongville. I have to say, my last rep of squats and last two reps of bench were a struggle, but I got them up....
Went from 11 sets on day 8 to 13 sets today. Very pleased with that since my goal was to just hit 12. Did 10 sets on the cardio. I think this was a perfect session for a Monday morning, was done in 47 minutes, but definitely felt the work. This is my third Squatober and I feel like the p...
Week 2 is done! Finished up with Friday the Thirteenth this morning. Went Option 3 for Squats, and Option 2 for bench. Feel like the intensity got turned up a good bit this week. Looking forward to rest and recover and get back on schedule next week. Have a great weekend everyone!...
Running a day behind this week, so I just finished up the pressure cooker. Finished 11 sets with 260. Compared to last year, I did 13 sets with 210 (last year the doubles were 80% rather than 85%). Completed 5 sets of the cardio. Gotta prepare myself mentally for 70's Big tomorrow as it looks to...
Week 1 is done! Good Challenging but doable work. The weekend is my chance to focus on sleep :snoozer: Won't be able to work out Monday, so I'll be a day behind next week, but we'll get it done. Happy Friday yall!!...
Day 3 is done. I realized this morning that I've been calculating my squats off of my e1rm instead of my training max. Decided just to roll with it. I still suck at tempo squats. I'm happy if half of my 25 reps were actually 5 seconds down. I feel like AA is using shorter rest times than in th...
