    High intensity outdoor session this morning. 30mins right up on the limiter. Never really gets easier. You can just do more in the team and still same deadness.

    One of the workouts was an 8 min track which was split in to 4 x 2min. First two min was 5 squat jumps 10 alernating press ups 15 surfer 180 things as many times thru as ya can. Next two mins was similar but jumping jacks, burpees and lunges. Then did it all again. Killer

    Wow glutes and legs still so sore when woke this morning

    Luckily it was an easy day.
    30mins cycle at a good pace then 25mins of rolling out and mobility. Always feel good after this.

    Yesterdays efforts worked a treat. Was right as rain this morning and ready to hammer them legs again

    Week 4 Day 3 - more deads!

    Deficit deadlifts (from 6cm rise) - 5 sets of 10 @ 110kg (5,500kg of deads vs 4,800 last week vs 3,600kg the week before!)
    Front squat - 3 sets of 12 @ 55kg
    Lying hamstring curls - 15x43kg, 12x50, 10x57
    Leg extensions - 15x50kg, 12x57, 10x63

    Good mornings - 2 sets of 10 with just the bar, 2 with extra 20kg on it

    Feels like the gains are coming. Eating a lot more food this week but also crapping a whole lot more. Its noticeable!

    Week 5 Day 3

    Deadlifts - 6 sets of 8 @ 105kg (total 5,040kg)
    Hack squats - 3 sets of 10 @ 90kg
    Lunges - 3 sets of 10 @ 17.5kg per side
    Straight leg deadlifts - 3 sets of 10 @ 60kg
    Machine crunches superset with banded wall squats - 3 sets of 10 / 30sec hold
    Good mornings - 4 sets of 10 @ 40kg

    So was supposed to do squats using the safety squat bar but we dont have one so could have done front squats but decided on hack squats for a bit of a change. Hands feel in a similar position so don't get the same pressure on the shoulders like normal squats.

    Outdoor session this morning.

    The 'highlight' was a 2 min burpee beep test which was second to last track and just faster and faster and faster until it turned it a sweat dripping blur!!

    Decent blow out that's for sure

    Week 6 Day 1

    Squats - 6 sets of 8 at 90kg (total lifted 4,320kg vs 4,080kg last week)
    Deficit deads - 3 sets of 5 at 105kg
    Leg press - 4 sets of 10 at 110kg
    Lying hamstring raises - 3 sets of 10 at 57kg
    Hanging leg raises - 4 sets of 10 superset with 10 reps of deadbugs
    Banded squats - 5 sets of 15
    Banded clamshells - 5 sets of 15

    Really like this day but feels rushed. Squats take a bit of time once had a decent warmup, couple lighter sets then 6 working sets with at lest 90 seconds break. Rest of the sessions flies by and I'm never late to work. Will prob need longer rests once move in to the heavier weights.

    Weight up over 1kg last week. Prob a bit fast but heaps of crap in there, every day had something like cake, brownie, cupcake, sometimes multiple amounts. Guess may as well make the most of the extra calories I'm allowed!
