@kdjohn @aldebaran thanks guys. It was a weird spur of the moment decision in an attempt to get something worth posting in the check in thread since I donāt think Iāve ever contributed meaningfully to it. Didnāt quite work out because my phone fell over but fuck it, Iām pretty proud of that set. Donāt have to feel like Iām still riding the coat tails of MMS.

I hit 100kg for 10 once, felt like I was gonna die

Thatās kind of the key: feeling like youāre going to die and realising that you wonāt.
Iām pretty sure youāve got me on 1RM strength though.
No need for playing nice. My best 1RM was 120kg one year ago pre-covid. Havenāt touched a barbell since!
I wonder how quick I can get back to 100kg x 10 once I get access to a barbel

My last memory of your squat was aiming for a 140kg single, which would equal my best. I havenāt squatted over 120kg for a long, long time.
Only one way to find out.
Wait, what? with 110kg, I feel like you got at least 160kg x 3 easy. Any particular reason why you donāt go heavier? Sorry if I missed it in your log. I skipped a whole lot of logs past few months

Nope, not even close. I might have a single at 150 in me, if Iām lucky. 20 rep sets and singles are a very different skillset.
Thereās a few reasons: Iām a long way away from a time when Iāll need to care about my 1RM strength, I wonāt be testing until Christmas. Also, I donāt have any safeties at home, Iām squatting out of a very cheap, 8 year old squat stand.

Well true. Just a different kind of strong
Ahh I see. Yeah, safeties are a big factor lol. I donāt know how others get to dump the bar backwards and do that mini hop forwards when they need to ditch the bar. Itās amazing when I see it. I have a tendency to fall forward and dump the bar forward when I fail probs because low bar
Thatās the best way! Because itās the only way I do it and it drives the internet crazy, haha.
Fully understand the reps vs singles thing. I can do reps for days, but singles are no bueno. Just different strengths.

Theyāre such good tools to have. A big strong neck never goes out of style.
