I'm 5' 11" and weigh 105kg (I have a built in weight vest) and am on a jorney to lose that.  I have hit a serious plateau and I think that my weight is a contributing factor.  Obviously it is a factor but I think it's only recenly I have accepted that and  watching the advanced guys using weight vests really hits that home.  I tested in at 70 6cts and 32 Navy Seals and I'm now doing up to 120 6 counts and 58 Navy Seals at the moment and can#t seem to breach those numbers.  So there is definite progression.  I am enjoying the journey though.

Finished out the week with a 6 count PR @225, and a Seal PR @94. Have high hopes for tomorrow and a new week, but I'm not going to put numbers on goals because that generally backfires for me. The Busy Dad program is a Journey, not a trip.

Hope all are well!

Love the simplicity of the program.

Test-in 106 6counts.

I'm 115 kgs. Anyone else similar weight? What numbers did you start at?

Will do the navy seals test-in on Sunday.

 

Only managed 40 Navy seals. Very humbling. I'm in now though.

Didn't do it yesterday as I did a 50k bike ride.

Need to plan the rest of the sessions this week.

 

Any novice advice? Just try and mash a PB each time?

Hey my man,

My buddy Julian is not quite as big as you -- you might be the heaviest member of the Busy Dad Army!! -- but I think he's around 105 and 6' 5".  He tested in at 150 6-cts and 60 seals.  He's a semi-pro footballer in his mid-20s and is super fit.  What you're testing in at given your body weight is extremely impressive.  I can't wait to hear more as you progress through the program!!

Yeah I'm 6'4" so similar height. Carrying alot of weight though.

Only got my second 6 count session in today(only 103). Decided to work at a 5 EMOM pace and see what was left in the last minute.

 

Been doing some long haul travel-Asia to Ireland. Jet lagg hopefully done now. Determined to get my 80 minutes in this week. Push for a PB in the second 6count session.

For the first 20, I had a great time filming a follow along video for Gaz,

I really appreciated this video,Max!

Thank you so much

I followed along and achieved my Seals PB using this video.

Was motivation hearing you say "Cmon Gaz" throughout the session

Many thanks

Gaz
