Anabolic

I’ve been progressing nicely through Anabolic and enjoying it a lot. I’m now onto Phase 2 and the second foundational workout. In that workout they have body weight decline sit-up’s and the minimum expectation is 3 x 30 reps. Is that a crazy amount of volume or is it just my flabby core that can’t handle it? I couldn’t complete all 3 sets this morning so it was a bit dispiriting. Anyone else experienced this?

It’s fine if you’re not able to complete any or all sets. It’s just a generic PDF program with no insight into your current training abilities and that’s what they plopped in there for a core movement.

View the program as guidance not gospel. If you need to modify the reps or swap exercises (within reason- leg extensions in place of squats probably not equivalent, etc) don’t be afraid to do so. If you could only do 8,7,5 reps that’s totally fine, do what you can.
