Is anyone else going to try Jim Wendler's 100-Rep Challenge?
I did my first day yesterday. I squatted with the 5/3/1 template, did stiff-leg deadlifts, and hanging leg raises. Today is my first lower-body 100. I'm really dredding the upper body 100 and I doubt I'll be able to complete 100 reps in any of them to start. I'm going to give it all I've got, but realistically I doubt I can do most of these the first week.
I know it isn't the SS type of thing, only doing the main barbell movements each once every two weeks, but I thought I'd see if anyone was intrigued. I'm just trying to come back from a few weeks off with another back issue(I've got a vertebrae raping a nerve in my back) and I wanted something that would be challenging, help my size and shape some, while going a little easier on the heavy squats and deadlifts for a few weeks. This interested me so I figured I'd give it a try. After all it's only 6 weeks of my life and I can always just take up 5/3/1 again as soon as it's over.
Here is the article:
