I tried to go faster through the warmups, as well as some of the sets towards the end. I was more limited by muscular endurance than conditioning tbh.

Deadlift (TM=140):
60x5 / Hanging knee raises 18 reps
70x5 / Hanging knee raises 18 reps

Got better at doing hanging knee raises faster so they didn't tire out my grip very much.

This week was easier and faster than the last, but I have to take into account that the weights were lighter.

Did really fast today, especially before getting to the heaviest set. Conditioning wasn't much of an issue really, I didn't go faster because of muscular endurance fatigue.
I also took a longer rest before the last chinup set, got 8 and had 1-2 more in the tank.

5/1/23:
20" Box jumps 2x5

Deadlift (TM=140):
60x5 / Hanging knee raises 20 reps
70x5 / Hanging knee raises 20 reps
85x5 / Hanging knee raises 20 reps
105x5 / Dips 13 reps
120x5 / Pullups 8 reps
132.5x5 / Dips 10 reps
105x5 / Pullups 6 reps
105x5 / Pushups 12 reps (reduced reps on purpose and trying harder to keep proper form)
105x5 / Pullups 5 reps
105x5 / Pushups 12 reps
105x5 / Pullups 5 reps

Time: 39.5 minutes

Done after 3 hours of sleep and a full day of work, wasn't that bad really, today was less exhausting than the last squat workout. I went kinda fast in the beginning, and took enough rest before the sets I did after the warmup (90 seconds were enough most of the time).
Grip was a bit of an issue, had to hook grip the heaviest set, and I had a hard time holding the bar on the FSL sets done right after a set of pullups.

I'm really happy with today's workout, considering I came in already very tired.

Finished the 1st cycle, I can say my conditioning definitely improved over the last 3 weeks, I could barely finish the first 3 workouts on week 1. I feel my recovery between workouts also improved.

I started the 2nd cycle today, besides raising the TMs the biggest change in this cycle is that the FSL sets are done for 7 sets of 5, instead of 5x5, with assistance exercises between the last 2 sets as well. And of course the 45 minutes time limit stays the same :cry: .

9/1/23:
3kg medicine ball standing chest pass 2x5

Bench press (TM=77.5):
30x5 / Rear laterals 4kg 25 reps
40x5 / Rear laterals 4kg 25 reps
47.5x5 / Reverse lunges 15 reps (each leg)

55x5 / Pullups 8 reps
55x5 / Pullups 6 reps
55x5 / Pullups 5 reps
55x5 / Db rows 12kg 20 reps
55x5 / Db rows 12kg 20 reps
55x5 / Kb swings 12kg 20 reps
55x5 / Kb swings 12kg 20 reps

Time: just under 46 minutes

Went much better than expected TBH, almost got it in time, and I'm sure I would have if I didn't have to work in with people lifting more than me, loading/unloading 20kg plates on the bar almost every set (45lb equivalent).

I didn't try to go turbo mode at the beginning of this workout, and I think I got better results because of it.

I also swapped the position of the chinups and pullups in the week (chins will be on lower body day)

I had to stay at home all of last week, and this week I took a short vacation, after 2 weeks without training I need to get back into shape a little bit.
I will not go back to the program I did, it did improve my conditioning and I think I got a little stronger, but my forced breaks took the wind out of me, it's a mentally tough program (some of the squat days made me want to quit).
I recommend this program for anyone who wants a conditioning challenge 4 days a week.
I didn't lose any fat but I ate a lot and didn't gain fat either (a whole tub of ben and jerry's on some days, more than once a week).

3/3/23:

Bench press 57.5x3, 65x3, 75x3 (TM=82.5)

Press 27.5x10x5 (TM=55)
Chinups 5x10 bw

Press easier than last week
I split every chinup set into to 5 rest-pause minisets: 5 reps - go down and take 10 deep breaths - 5 more reps, it was still tough but much more doable
