That's it (I had the name Bloggins in mind). Never heard of that particular guy but I once came across a Jocko interview that I did enjoy (with Jordan Peterson, I think). I'm with you though... This "manosphere" stuff often comes across as quite phony, not to mention the cringy and the pathetic stuff. On that note, I have found the Jack Murphy meltdown very entertaining. You gotta watch Blaire White's take on it if you haven't already. Absolutely hilarious!
Intensity squat - 3 X 3 at 207.5 lbs (PR)
The depth was just right and my knees behaved quite well. Today's last set looks a lot better than last week's. My new clue is really working! I need to find this guy and buy him a drink.
If everything goes well, I will be able to squat my husband for reps pretty soon!
Volume press - 5 X 5 at 78 lbs
I added an extra lb to get to that 90% and this felt about right for a volume day. Still working on that press 2.0; I had a good set when I tried taking my breath at the top, but I am not sure how sustainable this practice would be. I'll have to look into it. Otherwise I find I spend too much time at the bottom; this is not a huge deal with a sub-maximal load, but on intensity day, I need to get through my reps more quickly.
