At What Point Should I Listen to Pain?

You mean me posting my squat video?

Just checking.

lol. I love squats. Just a few more weeks and I’ll focus on something else… While still squatting of course. Albeit far less than now.

Pumping iron is like my little treat after rigorous squatting. I’m just weird in the sense that unless I do a squat-focused program first, I can’t, in good conscience, do a single rep of a bicep curl. lol. Just the way I am.

You should do Super Squats.

I might! After my upper-body catches up a little bit.

Super Squats will MAKE your upper body catch up.

Oh…

Okay. I’ll grab the book then… Unless I can get the contents of it for free? Here in T Nation perhaps?

Okay so it’s a complete program huh?

Yup. Full body. Been effective for decades in radically transforming bodies. Get the book. It’s only $10 on Kindle. John McCallum also wrote a lot of great stuff on the program in “The Complete Keys to Progress” as does Stuart McRobert in “Brawn”, but Super Squats will give you enough to get going.

@bapoleon respect for posting the video!

I’ll echo the voices already uttering sentiments akin to “if squats is your jam, and you genuinely prefer it over other training modalities, stick to it”. You don’t have to do other stuff also. If you want to, go for it, but there’s no shame in pursuing squats and squats alone. Whatever you want out of your life is what you should do though, and if that also includes judo then that’s cool too.

Fair play mate: 395lbs, paused for an age, smooth as you like, high bar. Seems to be beltless and sleeveless as well. Can’t argue with that

Not only posting, but the ease and perfection of that paused rep. I liked it!

Finally…

I think we all appreciate when a man stays true to his word.

Nice rep dude. Also appreciate that you knocked it out in a collared shirt.
