How’d you feel after that 33 rep squat. I threw up a little in my mouth reading that.
During it I felt horrible, but afterwards I realized it was more Shoulder and wrist discomfort from my low bar position than fatigue, and I probably could have squeezed out a few more. Oh well. Just a goal for next time.
It might not be in line with your program, but did you see this? I actually want to try it, but I’d probably do regular leg press instead of using the Smith.
Yeah high rep squats are rough. My last session I hit 78 reps at 95 lbs. to say the lungs were pumping is an understatement!
Dude. That’s intense. Gotta be like a world record lol
I did see it, and earlier in my log I did the 1.5 smith squats, plus I did Smith front squats with my heels on a board for like a month. Paul is spot on - the lack of stabilizers might be the Smith machine’s best quality, as it allows you to focus all your effort on the target muscle. However, I’m in the process of relearning how to squat, and JTS’s squat pillars have made a world of difference. I think you’d love that workout though, and in the smith, not the leg Press - Paul stresses proper foot positioning that allows for minimal hip flexion and maximal quad involvement. Right up your alley! I love the smith machine and use it every week for something.
I saw, dude. I love that you’re doing that challenge, mostly because you are not a half-assed person- when you go in, it’s all or nothing. OCD aside (right there with ya), I’m following along and can’t wait to see how your legs respond at the end, provided there are no setbacks.
Someone needs to stop me, by the way, because there’s a kettlebell in my amazon cart for me to do the 10,000 kettlebell swing challenge with.
Dooooit!
My wife wants me to try it too. I wonder if I should go easy for the rest of the week and kick off the challenge Monday.
I wouldn’t go into it fatigued that’s for sure.
I was only talking about the leg press exercise. I just can’t see myself laying on the ground and using the Smith for that exercise when it’s right next to three different types of leg presses.
There are 2 girls who do the leg Press smith thing and they both wear booty shorts…you could draw an anatomy picture.
With stuff like that going on in the gym I don’t know how dudes can stand to work out alone in the basement.
I work out in my basement alone.
I’ve had sex on every piece of workout equipment I own minus the cardio stuff and I’ve received a blow job while I was incline benching.
Try that at a public gym 
Was that some sort of attempt to stimulate maximum testosterone production during your workout?
Sounds like that set was probably just junk volume…
I see what you did there
I actually hate to have sex right before a workout. Kills my workout for some reason.
Edit: I’ll take a picture of my wife workout she does (when she does workout), you’ll get a kick out of it.
Why have your booty facing they ground when you can stick it in the air for all to see lol
Women are known to weaken the legs.
Underrated comment right there dude, if you don’t get 20+ likes you should start arresting people left and right
