Any HIIT? I started doing 50yrd explosive sprints sets of 10x’s
(in honor of my 48yo friend who died of a heart attack recently)
walking 50yrds back to starting point, rest for 30-60 sec, and re launching.

Cardio in mind, but activating muscles I hadn’t known in a long while! Having to seriously warm up!

Check this dude out:

I would love to do this kind of HIIT, but unfortunately, running and sprinting are out for me. My back is so bad I really have to pick and choose. I did get trap bar and am planning some loaded carry days, so I may set them up like intervals.

Lets see. Today is Jan 22nd. Hit all workouts so far. Had a two day fast this week (medical procedure), but missed the walks. Think I have a cold- Hope its a cold anyway and not something worse. Bench up to 340, hoping to hit 350 next week. Still don’t have my boxes for my squats and my back is a bit sore lately so I am trying to figure out how to hit quads with my equipment and save my back. I am thinking loaded carries for a bit until the boxes get here. Diet has been pretty solid and the two days of fasting I think set me up pretty good this week. Will try and get workouts logged more consistently.

Ok, haven’t kept my log up, but the cut is going pretty well. Going through a divorce, but in all fairness the anxiety has kept my calories down and made it easier to control my eating. Hope the stress is not killing me. Guess we will see in the after picture.

Oh damn!
Best of luck.
Funny how stress makes some people eat, and others fast. Makes some lethargic, and makes some people sleepy.
Gotta be tough either way.
