That's me just finished week 2 of it to be fair mate - will be able to give a good assessment once I am complete.

It is certainly more fun than the 5x5 I had been doing - it is actually beyond 5/3/1 as it includes joker sets and an AMRAP set for each compound.

It does take quite a while in the gym as I am working out with a colleague who is using lighter weights so we need to do a lot of chopping and changing between lifts! Ideally I would be able to get some accessory work in as well.

I need to develop the ability to get out my bed so I can get to crossfit sessions in the morning
 
I like the look of those joker sets :)

A training partner is a bonus even if you have to chop about - all those extra gains to be had when going all out knowing you will be spotted :)
 
Hi mate

Yes I did - I am in at 203lbs :)

I will get my post done tomorrow, including yesterdays & todays lifting stats - I have just been a bit busy with work and stuff!
 
Need to make sure I keep this log updated! I am still training though so don't
fear!

I should hit the 2 stone mark shortly, and then soon after see the 100's for the first time in... well my adult life possibly?
I am very happy with my progress and really can't imagine going back - I used to talk the talk when it came to this stuff but now I'm walking it too.
