Ew

This is kind of interesting since you essentially did a squat specialization for 6 weeks. What do you think is going on?

I think there is a couple of things. All the squatting caused me some problems with my hips that have taken a while to sort out. Also I have done less squatting and definitely less low rep heavy stuff so I am just out of practice. I think the strength is still there I just need to build up again.

The super squats clearly messed up his old man hips and knees, so I vote no on doing those again.

I vote Simo becomes a cyborg. We shall call him S.I.M.0 because when you put dots or dashes after letters or numbers it sounds like a robot name.

Strongman Saturday was back today. Decided to mix it up and do a little sandbag squat, barrel overhead and burpees.

It went:

1 sandbag squat
1 barrel overhead
3 burpees

2 sandbag squat
2 barrel overhead
6 burpees

Squats and barrel went up in 1’s and the burpees in 3’s

Worked up to
5 squat
5 overhead
15 burpees

Total -
15 squats
15 overhead
45 burpees

Done in under 20 mins. This was hard work.

Got to train the brain and the body at the same time mate. Check out the first round in the video where I nearly knock myself over with the barrel. You will get a good laugh :joy:

lol, I had a buddy in college who was a mathematician, as well as a stud rugby player. We did a workout together once and his actual plan was to scale reps by “just going up the prime numbers”. He thought it was an awesome way to start with rounds fast and then get into super high rep, almost MURPH style workout.

I didn’t know what prime number came after 7.

We changed the workout

Lol I did a burpee workout last year where I started at 1 and worked up to 25, for every prime number I did squats instead of burpees. Got heaps of comments from people saying they wouldn’t know what numbers to do the squats on. I then revealed my secret, I had written all the prime numbers on the ground in chalk!! lol
