I'm stepping out of my comfort zone to start a training log. The main purpose is to hold myself accountable to complete my little experiment. I've been reading a lot lately about the benefits of high frequency programs. Basically where you take a few exercises and do them almost every day. I put S&S into that category. I think there are a lot of people who practice S&S with higher loads and less frequency with success, but I think it becomes another animal. I actually started in early November, just to make the time standard with the 36kg. I think I'm close to that, so I may try to extend the program further to hit 40kg at the time standard. We'll see if I can maintain the volume both mentally and physically. BTW: I'm a overweight, middle-aged man, far from a gifted athletic type. I don't do any other sports, and I sit at a desk for most of my work week. My main goal is to see how far I can progress in the high-frequency format. If I lose some weight, that would be great to, but I'm not tracking as closely.

Edit: Also my S&S is not entirely by the book, as I reverse the order and do TGU first. It just works better for me

I don't want to type it out everyday, but for warm ups I do BW squats, light TGU with extended holds, hamstring stretches, light swings.
