This is way too much volume for a single session but you never build a ton of muscle from any single workout anyway. This is obviously a physical challenge but the mental aspect of pushing this hard is like a recalibration to understand what hard work is.
Dane, have you ever heard of the Iron Triathlon? Jason Khalipa and Dan Bailey have a great video on it. The toughest workout I’ve done and I scaled the weight percentages down. 20 down to 1 reps of: 1.5 BW Deadlift 1 BW Bench .75 BW Squat Cleans
You've gotta redeem yourself Dane I did it it was hell I was sore for almost a week mixing this with deadlift and kettlebell swings and the assault bike
I did a half pig squat (piglet), going up 5kg each step rather than 10kg coz I'm not strong enough for the full. Stupid volume. I had bad DOMs for half a week.
What do you think about one arm pull ups? I have a lot of pulling strength since i can do them and it gave me a big [and sometimes huge] boost in my wrestling ability. It helped me takedown bigger and sometimes overall stronger opponents because of my very high pulling strength and i honestly think it would be a shame to replace them with normal pull ups that your opponents are strong enouh to do as well but i am really curious what is your oppinion on them.
If you modified the weight/rep increments sure maybe do same structure but starting with 10 reps instead of 20 and only adding 5kg instead of 10kg per set and see how that goes
Since my backsquat is only 145kg I tried something called pigsquat light with some friends yesterday. It's basically 5kg increases instead of the 10kg increases here. The final single is 115kg. Needless to say my quads, hamstrings and abductors feel like death. But the endorphin release is absolutely insane!
This isn't meant to be a logical workout or to have any benefit other than mental. It's a challenge, it's supposed to break you, so the order is stacked against you
