I finished W4D3 today and managed to add 2 more sets to hit triple digits (it was almost an EMOM).

I've been KBing for a little over 2 years after coming off several years of Crossfit and competitive cycling. I've never found a fitness "home" like this and only plan to go deeper. Starting 1.1 next week.

@applekrate 100 reps with double 20 kg bells is great work. Keep it going!

@applekrate Nice job man, good luck with those 8s!

 

[applekrate]

@snowlucario 8s is all I keep thinking about

 

[snowlucario]

@applekrate It’ll be a big shock, but it’ll spur some growth.

@applekrate Great work.

@applekrate You increased man! Well done.

@applekrate Dunno exactly what the giant is, but any gains are good gains! high five

@applekrate How did you find your body composition after this?

 

[applekrate]

@youngman4god I was eating a surplus before starting so honestly my abs disappeared toward week 1. Ive never been a big delt responder but my anterior lats and serratus are both noticeably popping more.

@applekrate That's some great rep totals!

The cool thing is that 1.1 and 1.2 will slap you in the face with higher rep sets. It's almost like 1.0 builds a base, and then you peak with 1.1 and 1.2.

@applekrate Nice job! Did you notice any gains ?
