Sorry to hear about the Rib.Yep, definitely something in the water. I had my last day of Giant 3.0 yesterday and then did some thoracic stretching and may have popped a rib. I was wondering what to do next but I’ll have to see how I feel tomorrow.
I did 3.0 with 2 x 24kg using the 20/25/30/25 min weekly work timings and got these results:
Wk 1 - 99 reps - 32.27 kg/hand/min
Wk 2 - 112 reps - 35.84 kg/hand/min
Wk 3 - 132 reps - 35.2 kg/hand/min
Wk4 - 125 reps - 40 kg//hand/min
I also did an extreme calorie restricted diet for weeks 3 and 4 so probably could have done better still. Despite that I feel stronger and my weight has gone from 83.8kg to 79.2kg.
I was wondering whether to try 1.0 with the 2 x 24’s or maybe 3.0 again with the 28’s and push presses. I’m not sure about the sets of 6 on 1.0’s heavy day though. I guess I’ll see how I’m going tomorrow and if ok try and test my rep max and decide from there. I’m really loving this program.
Cheers

Your loading KPI has confused me. Didn't you average 5 reps a minute in week 4 and therefore 120 kg/hand/minute?
