Re: The Training Thread
5 in total Jay. Did a meagre 50 this time, will do 55 next time. Probably 5 sets of 6 and 5 sets of 5. Slow and steady. Will probably reduce total number of sets as the reps get 10+ and the work:rest gets nearer 1:1

Conditioning - burpees on the minute for 10 minutes. Started slow and low with 5, will increase total by 5 each week.

As per advice I received on this thread I'm trying to limit myself to only 1 squats session per week.

Cue womack is fat joke. But, have you done weighted chins on yours? Think we have the same model, and tbh, I'd be a bit nervous of chaining the 32kg KB on myself and hanging off it.
