You are indeed correct, I have very little recollection of the horror of those 6 weeks. Seeing @T3hPwnisher get after breathing squats recently has made me view my time with super squats though rose tinted glasses. Like Ah the good old days. LOL

Got about 3 minutes in before the mount came loose, and I crashed the bike!
Yes, that’s right: I crashed a “stationary” bike.
And yes, I know—it’s a road bike on a training wheel, but whatever. Point is, it’s not SUPPOSED to move.
And yes, that’s happened before…
Anyway, it took me a few minutes to reset, at which point I basically started the ride over.

Went so fast you crashed a stationary bike. That’s got to be some kind of record, especially doing it twice.

Your legs are so powerful the wheel fell of the bike? The squats are working already.

@bigjeff68 - I confess I find the overwhelming majority of those commercials to be quite funny, but that one ranks near the top!
@shaneinga - I confess I’ve done it more than twice…
@unicornsandrainbows - I confess… I confess any appropriate response here can’t really begin with “I confess,” haha!

Man, long day. (And if you can’t tell how punchy I am, just read the previous post.) But that’s done, I’m set up for morning, and it’s finally time to eat!

I owe myself some calf work, I think, because today was mostly rehab: The DOMS from Wednesday’s single-leg work is excruciatingly painful. Guess that’s what I get for neglecting them during BaBY.

Nice squatting. If it’s any consolation my legs hurt so bad this morning it made putting my socks on very interesting.

@shaneinga - Thanks, man! I got my socks on alright this morning, but it’s the transition from sit-to-stand that’s making me question the meaning of life today.

The battery in my HR monitor died, so I’m not sure what my range was today. But if we go by the amount of sweat on the floor, I think it was just about right!

I’m curious, how are you finding the lower volume higher intensity?

Ask me again at the end of Super Squats, and maybe I’ll have an answer for you.

That walk earlier was just what the doctor ordered: My calves are finally starting to feel “just sore.” Headed to the amusement park for Christmas lights this evening, so more walking is on the docket!
