Today was SSB squats
I think the bar itself is 60# so the wt of it IS included with the totals.
150x5, 170x4, 190x4, 200x4, 210x3, 220x2, 225x2, 230, 240, 250
225x3, 215x3 failed on a 4th, 190x5, 170x10, 150x15
roman chair raises in between set-4 or 5 sets of 8
ghr’s bw 4 sets of 12
hlr’s toes to bar x18,15
glute activation with some crazy ass 80’s leg wt’s too!!! HA !!
I just kinda rambled today. I really am liking that ssb for my squats. I know its not the same, a completely different dynamic to regular back squats but I like it! I am a convert!!
I have dreams…dreams of adding wt every weak and getting a beefy max on that thing. The 250 i got today was a biter too I will share a vid. Depth isn’t perfect but I’m still proud.
ALSO since the PAN American Bench champs is in town this weekend, my turbo gym has a LOT of space where the benches and stuff have been moved.
Looks SO much better with out those eye-sore benches.
here it is
oh eyah …and I called in sick to work today…but managed a squat day before. You know how it is
YES!
New log AND PR!!!
I think the depth might be perfect, actually. Beauteous!
First male!!!
Loving it!!! good work brutie!!!
Brute videos just make me so happy.
That was a fine-looking squat by the way, the SSB is treating you well. nod
HELL YEAH!!!
You shoulda added chapter numbers to all your log titles. Then eventually it could be like, Brute’s Book: Chapter VII or something cool like that…
Today
fronties 145, 165x2, 185x2,200, 210, 220 PR FINALLY FOR FUCK’S SAKE BUT MY CAMERA STOPPED FILMING AT 6 SECONDS. DAMMIT.
FAIL at 225. OH WELL
then 185x5 x 2 sets, 85 x3 then I was done.
After the last few days I’ve had, I needed that PR. Even though its been…oh,… 2 years to get 5 pounds onto my old pr, its still a PR I am pleased. I really needed that today.

I think your shrugs look fine based on what I think they are.
fyi, I thought the last line above read pull up panty.
Ah!!! Pull up panties I totally own!! No more diapers for me !!!
Thanks for checkin the shrugs too. I just don’t see the point of shrugs I guess. Sure traps…but I feel like they are kinda like doing calve raises. Maybe next week when they are heavier it’ll be different but I doubt it. I’ll just do more ass in them since I still don’t do stiff legged anything.
Love your vids Brute! Looking beastly and with awesome hair
