Another thing...It's hard to get people to follow a new workout scheme. I have found myself running solo on many Blitz days. Maybe it's a comfort issue for some? New ideas scare people sometimes, and maybe that's why it's hard to get a good group participation.
Run it solo! People will see the results you are getting then start pinging you on what you are doing. Maybe it is a comfort thing, because lets be honest, Blitzing is a tough mental exercise as well as physical.

Blitzzz,

Been holding down sustainment workouts once or twice a week. Just keeping the weights at the max previously established. Sometimes my numbers will fluctuate below my goal reps on a set but not more than 5 below. I think it is just externals such as lack of sleep, time of day, other workouts, etc.

Still hurts like a hot iron though! Mentally, not in my joints or muscles. It has incorporated well into running and rucking and cross training cardio. Though I noticed a need to be selective about scheduling. Rucking 12+ following a Blitz day is tough.

I am debating once my work load lightens up to try and shift back to 3 times a week and see if I can squeeze another couple pounds out of some of the exercises.

Thanks again Sir.

v/r,
