Tried a longer squat warmup today using ‘banded hip distractions’, after having them reccomended. Feel like it might have genuinely helped with my impingement. Lower back was pretty fried from deadlifts so wasn’t going to push for PR’s today, but squats felt less shitty than usual.

Well that was a nice break for my hip. No rebound = no pain apparently. Nice to feel some strain in the legs rather than just the hip.

At 88kg thats currently very appropriate naming.

That escalated quickly lol

should have added a ‘lel’, or at least a ‘lul’. I’m quite content with my puffyness atm ha

How soon until you get a true power belly

Describe how it went in vivid detail please

reps 1-20 were breezy. Trying to pace myself, but quietly confident that this weight is too light to be any hassle.

rep 23, uh oh, upper back is starting to cramp, try leaning forward a bit so I dont have to stay so tight to keep the bar in place.

rep 29, damn, full on upper back cramp, pop the weight up at the top of the rep into a high bar hold and wait 20 seconds for my back to chill out.

rep 30-45 are still relatively easy from a strength perspective, but I realise I’m goin too fast and my lungs be a burnin’. another long break to catch my breath.

at 50 reps I hit a physical wall, absolutely gassed and im thinking ‘hey 60 is a pretty reasonable target, maybe Ill just call it there’. I do 10 more slow reps.

60 reps. I realise rep 60 was actually easier than rep 50 now that Id slowed down a little and could catch my breath. I make the decision. I boldly declare that Im shooting for 100 now, and anything less would be failure.

Rep 70-75, still gassing pretty hard, but its not getting worse, just sustained level of pain. However, at this point the lactic acid is starting to build up pretty fiercely but I feel like this is something I can manage.

Rep 80, another wall, this time mental. The lactic burn is real. The lungs still burn, Im panting between each rep, and pretty miserable. Im not sure that I can, mentally, carry on for another 4 or so minutes.

I bounce out another 5 Reps and pause to breathe for another 20 seconds. I bounce out another 5. 90 Reps.

At this point I’ve checked out mentally. Im done, and I just want to pay down. But, i said I was going to do 100 reps.

Thus a sprint finish it is. I hold my breath, and smash out 10 quick reps, fully using all of the bounce out of the hole.

1 extra rep because somewhere in the world someone else used 100 as a round number target, and 101 means I beat them.

Rack. Sit down. Lie down. wait 30 minutes. Get up and go home.

Clap, clap, clap. Incredible write up. I can vividly picture the self-torture. I want to try this. How long did the 101 reps take?

7:46 from pressing start, so includes set up and unrack. Challenge was amrap in 10 minutes

Strongman competitors have to use 225 instead of 135 :wink:

Damn pinky I am sitting here getting tired

Well done Mate :slight_smile:
And I won’t do that… Self torture is not my style.

Well at least I now know it’s not mine either!
