Squat 275x5 sets x 20 reps

This is the toughest workout I’ve had in a long time. Not something I want to do every workout.[/quote]

WHY? just WHY? lol awesome awesome stuff bro…[/quote]
Thanks Matty. The forth and fifth sets were not fun at all. After the fifth set I couldn’t get the pain in my legs and back to stop for several minutes no matter what position I was in.[/quote]

I fucking hate that, this mornings workout for me for some reason my legs were like that.

I looked like a beached whale on the floor trying to get comfortable.

822

awesome squats

nice work eco

823

Thanks guys. I have to admit I was nervous going into this workout. I knew it was going to hurt. Something about high rep squats just scares me.

275 x 5 sets of 20 reps? That is flat out crazy! I can’t contemplate how hard that must have been.

Really, incredibly impressive, but still crazy.

Do you not like yourself?

Brett,just trying to find some love for squats. Its coming slowly.

I had to drive over 300 miles today with my oldest son and a couple of his teammates. Played in Lewiston Maine. Did this workout in the am. My wife had to drive over 200 with my youngest. Uggggg

826

Damn, you’re just a machine. Fantastic work. Seriously, fantastic.

That’s a long drive. One way?

827

Nice quick workout Steve. How did the boys do?

828

ATP1,I’m not sure about being a machine but I try to hit it hard every time I workout. The 300 miles was the total trip. I had a great day hanging out with my son and his teammates.

Wilson,quick workouts are what I’m all about. My boys had fun and did well but we had only 2 victories out of 7 games this weekend.

I’m hoping to squat tonight. My evening looks open but that can change quickly. I want to try Dan Johns 315x30,275x30,225x30 squat workout. Not sure I can squat 315x30.

829

1/16

squats 315x30

I wimped out after 315. Slightly disappointed. Next time.

830

You did 30 reps of 315?

If I didn’t know you I’d say its unbelievable but I 100% believe you are just beast enough to do that.

831

Awesome squatting.

machine indeed

832

Thanks Joe and Kevin.

Joe,I’m gonna try 405x20 next squat workout. I’ll get the video camera out and post it. I need an iPhone so I dont have to deal with the video camera/wires/download/upload pain in the butt.

405x20… I hope you make that vid. I’ll for sure bet you snap those reps off easy. Damn nice squatting with the 315x20.

834

I can’t imagine being disappointed or saying that I wimped out after 30*315. I would seriously pay to see that.

835

Thanks Wilson and ATP1.

Haven’t had a chance to workout for several days. Lifted later last night. Didn’t have the gumption to squat.

1/19
1.hang clean 135x5,155x5,175x3,195x2,225x1,245x0,245x1,265x0,225x2
2a.bench 135x10,185x10,225x10,275x10,315x6
2b.bb rows 135x10,155x10,175x10,195x10,135x10

If I could just get a little lower at the top of the hangclean I could lift so much more. But I’m stiff as a board and look like I’m doing a fast upright row. The bb rows I pulled to nipple height which was much more difficult.

1/22
1.cleans 160x5,185x5,205x5
2.deads 355x5,405x5,465x5

First time deadlifting in awhile. Felt great. No pain.

My wife made meatloaf,mashed potatoes,homemade bread,peas,corn,beans,brussel sprouts and homemade cholatechip cookies for dinner/desert today. I ate way too much. Going back for cookies right now.
