I tested my 1RM box squat yesterday and it equals my regular squat 1RM. Am I undershooting in my regular squat or not pausing enough on my box squat? Or is that typical?
Hmmm[/quote]
Probably the way you modeled up your lead in sets.[/quote]
I used the exact same sets as when I tested my regular squat because I’ve never done a box squat and had no idea what to use to start.
I didn’t take video, though I should have.
We’ll see what happens in my next tests I guess.
I let my boyfriend in the gym while I was working out the first time this weekend and had him to spot me. He was ecstatic.

Dont go droppin that bf thing in hopes of stopping me from hitting on you.
Also, you need to practice the movement before you test the max load. Throw a set of box squats in at the end of your leg day to learn the move…then retest in a month…[/quote]
I forgot, that it was actually my hot bisexual neighbour who spotted me
Yeah, I figured that wasn’t the best approach. I only did it that way because I’m in the middle of smolov and it called for my box squat 1RM. So I followed my test with the prescribed squats. I just needed some sort of reference. It was just a bit higher than I expected.

Thats what she said.[/quote]
my girlfriend has actually started to take an interest in lifting after i took a whole hour on the phone explaining why, physiologically, she would not get big and muscular like me if she started lifting and she actually expressed a lot of interest in the prowler.
it’ll make good foreplay.[/quote]
I knoq. This one time I was banging your gf and talking about Carb Cycling and she drenched my car seats.

But, you should be fine just practice more for next time. I cant really help much more…except to mock the fact that you went into a test with no studying.

Cant you sub in Box Squats one day?[/quote]
Saturday I have 12x2 at 75% scheduled. It felt really light doing that yesterday (so I added 20lbs). Hmmm. I’ve never done a program before and I am having a hard time NOT fucking with it. I have a sneaking suspicion I will put some more in on Wednesday and more weight too.
If I don’t put it in my spreadsheet then it didn’t happen, right?

I need to report that I detest the 24 hour gym by my new apartment and will be taking the time to go to my old gym. My regular one has a huge free weights room. Like four racks four cages four hack squats four leg presses etc. The new one is a" sport" with a pool and a basketball court and like no weights no machines and many many douchebags. Oh and lots of fat naked wome just walking around the locker room! No thanks.

Are they cute? I mean, if you were kinda lit up could they be mistaken for doable?
Foam rolling and using the corner of walls like a bear is no substitute.
Also ONLY people who lift heavy can give good massages, I know EXACTLY where my muscles hurt and how to push the kinks out of them. Only another lifter will share my unique pain and know how to fix it.
Girlfriend/spouse/fuckbuddy/massage therepist who lifts is a must people.
Morning Everyone! Hope everyone had a great turkey day! I know I did even though it was tons of driving. Definitely glad to be back at the gym this week hoping to break some PR’s the next 2 weeks. What’s new with everyone?
