Did I count correctly that you did 90 squats Saturday? What programming calls for that? I’d be unable to walk the next day. Just loving the volume?

Great training Joe. How are your joints holding up with all those squats? My left knee doesn’t like high volume squat workouts to often.

Yeah and that was actually a low volume day. Mostly its called I’m a dumbass programing. Its really just 5/3/1 where I do the 5/3/1 and then singles with wraps followed by a Boring But Big assistance work that’s ramped down instead of up. Its personalized but its not too far from the traditional version.

I wear sleeves from the start of squatting to knee my knees happy. That’s also the reason I take such small jumps on my warms up. I could easily go 135, 185, 225 like every one else but I wouldn’t be warmed up enough when I get to my real squats. So I go up 10% on my warm ups and I find I’m better warmed up and they don’t take anything out of me.

All told about 35lbs. part of it was accidental and then I realized I was closer to the 198 than the 220 class so I kept going. Need to stop it all pretty soon though.

that is pretty lean for you - good work on those squats

good work all around

Love your new AVI, I’m sure you are deep into the chaos dishing out punishment!

Is there a book?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

(Nice work)

So I’m curious about your strength to weight ratio with such a large weight loss. What have you found?

Things like pull-ups must be much easier for you at the lower BW. You’re doing super impressive numbers there, IMO, especially with a wide grip.

I’ve done the dumbass workout many times…
