I like hack squats, but the particular machine at my local place is somehow…awkward.

Read this as ‘back’ squat and thought fk you squat has come along

That would be nice!

Shoot, give it a try. The only way to be sure you cannot squat 240 kilo is to attempt to squat 240 kilo.

786

Might try 150kg soon. I’m 100% sure I won’t be squatting 240kg for a while, if ever!

Missed 2 sessions leading up to today’s and felt really strong. Going to consider dropping to 4 days a week, 2on, 2off, 2on, 1 off.
Probably could have gone a bit heavier on squat, but messed up first rep at 130kg and lost a bit of confidence.

794

Nice work on the squat PR.

200kg deadlifts are heavy. Dips are always awful. Mystery solved.

797

@simo74 log shows that you can definitely get stronger training less.

Awesome work on the squat PR.

Thanks.
I’m going to have a flexible 5th day I can drop if work schedule gets tight or I feel under recovered. Might even throw in a conditioning day!

799

Careful now

I mean, presumably you walk to and from your car on the way to your workouts. Isn’t that enough?

Sorry guys, not sure what I was thinking there.
