UnKillable Kleinhound 2: This time he's more unkillable-er

30 minutes of intervals today
Averaging 9km at low block and 17km at high block

Towards the end I had to reduce my speed to 7 and 12km as I was pretty gassed but I kept the incline at 5% for high blocks.
Was a fun time.
Also listening to David goggins helps

So nearly two weeks ago I decided to take a plunge and actually pay for a program, rather than try to modify ones etc. So I’m running Sb 911 (since last Monday) and I’m loving it. Not changing anything and sticking to it like a T. Something about purchasing something that makes me hold myself accountable.
4 day split, two upper and two lower, 3x3 week cycles, a deload and a testing week. I feel like I have a concrete goal now to smash some PBs

Today was upper eccentric focus

  1. Incline DB ecc
    3x5 w 32.5kg
    1x50 as fast as possible 20kg
    2a. Lat pull down 4x12
    2b. Face pull 4x12
  2. Med delt Massacre 3 sets
  3. 100 curls and extensions for time

There’s challenges each week which are cool and keep my kicking ass, and I’ve been consistently running these hill intervals. This Saturday I’ll do a long flat run and see where I’m at. Maybe a 5km time trial

5k run over a trail. Incline ranged between 3 and 10 degrees and it was a comfortable 35mins. Safe bet my flat 5k time has jumped up… Or down I guess

Just a 10km ride today. Legs and back were stiff as a board after yesterday’s squats

Man, you are a weapon. How long have you been training for?

Do you often tell meat eaters that you stronger than them?

Is it true that you once saved a herd of cows from the slaughter and now you only sleep amongst baby lambs as their protector?

:joy::joy::joy:
I get told I take steroids a bit or people just don’t believe me… But then they see my weak ass bench and it’s all in balance.
Weight training for 5 or 6 years,
Training with a purpose for probably 4?
Last year was when it all started clicking though being around a proper coach and competitive power lifters and strong men/women

Broccoli actually uproots itself and runs away when it senses that I’m near haha :joy:

I don’t know that I’ll ever truly have ‘capped’ delts when viewed from the front, but the depth of my delts has been improving

Final session of eccentric focus

  1. Bb Bulgarian split squat 3x3 with 6sec descent. 70kg, 80kg, 70kg. I was conservative with each set to really get the full six seconds, definitely could touch and go 100kg I think, at least for a rep or two
    Then two Max time iso holds unweighted
  2. Back extensions with 30kg 4x10
  3. Cossack squats 2x10
  4. Anti rotation alphabet 2x
  5. Max distance farmers walks in 3mins with 32kg kettle bells just to recall trash my grip haha

That looks beastly. I’ve only done BW for 15 reps plus a 20 sec iso hold. It was awful. I was doing 5 sec eccentrics. Longest sets ever.

Life’s all about balance. Today I pumped some extra arms and rear delts and ran a 5k trail. Tonight I eat lots of shitty food because I feel like it.

5k Flat intervals, 25min 12sec PR for me. 9km/h low, 18km/h high on average. Was struggling to keep the pace towards the end, but good to see some running progression. The first two blocks on 18km/h were reasonably comfortable tbh
