Tbh I would keep it with the TB programming as well.
The whole point of the programming re strength is to keep you fresh for your occupation (considering who the book is aimed at) and also for the conditioning work
GC2 from TB2 is a great ‘conditioning’ circuit to satisfy your hypertrophy needs
Nah look there’s obviously merit to is as the cardio stuff is working. I’ll stick to the script but keep the same exercises
Front squat, press, weighted chin
Trap bar, bench, power Clean
There is a fuck off hill that is super steep and takes minutes to get up near my place, and I want to conquer that with bloody lungs and then move on to Dukku Dukku with a light kB
Walking up the beast hill unweighted is a challenge
I drink a lot of water. If I’m out in the heat then I just sweat a lot. It doesn’t bother me. On the other hand, huffing and puffing in cold air affects my lungs even after the workout.
I found that wearing a mask while jogging really helps with preventing the cold air from wrecking my sinuses and lungs- the mask keeps the air I breath moist and warm.
Don’t have any problem with breathing with a mask on as long as it’s not a garbage one that directly obstructs your nose or mouth by collapsing inwards.
I’m excited about this next week. Even though it’s 50 reps, the “only one set” mentality seems easier to approach. I’ll be interested to see how you find it compared to the other weeks.
No doubt. That’s going to be Hell. But, it’s over a week away and I don’t need to think about it.
Are you still trying pull ups for it? I can see that being undoable and I’m good at pull ups. For my cluster, I expect swings and push ups to be fine, rows to be a killer but doable, ab wheels to be a slog, and goblet squats to be the worst of the bunch.
Oh no, I’m nowhere near strong enough for my current size to do more than a few pull ups or so.
Some of it for me is I’m still needing to get stronger and some of it is that I had a fairly rough go of Covid and bilateral pneumonia a couple months ago. I still get winded somewhat quickly. It’s getting better though overall.
The Goblet Squats hit me pretty good too, even at just 35 lbs.
