I realized I read this comment but never actually replied to it. I don’t have a lot of squat videos in the log, and genuinely wouldn’t advocate my squat style to many.
This was one of the more recent videos I had on it, which is a few years old

…as painful as that dropset is, all I can notice is that you’re like half the size that you are now…

But cortisol

Since stress spikes cortisol, if you don’t worry about cortisol, you don’t experience it.

Doesn’t Jon look relaxed to you in that above picture?
Because? Thanks for linking the video btw
I can see why that builds your deadlift.
And your willingness to endure awful things

I looked at the intermediate program. Week 5-6 you’re supposed to do 8 sets of 12 at 80% of your 1RM. What’s the trick? Breathing squats kind of set? This seems really dangerous on powercleans, you’re bound to have a sloppy form
The trick is it’s a typo and it’s supposed to be 10rm like the rest of the program.
Also, 8x12 would not work for that week: you’d be 4 reps short.

Because I don’t advocate anyone do what I do. Folks gotta find what works for them.

How is 8x12 @ 10rm any easier? 
Edit: never mind I’m stupid
Hmmmmmmm I might be tempted to dive in! I looked at the standards. They are high! I’m on the Shallow end for squat and press, Beyond the break on cleans and I might be Deep water on DL. Nice goals to set!
Yeah, I liked that part of the book. Gave some perspective. I edited my comment, but make sure you’re actually getting the full 100 reps that week.
And give the workouts a look the week before, because there’s a few other instances where something screwy happens like that. I think the intermediate had it that week 4 was deadlifts and then week 5 was deadlifts, or something like that.

Yes indeed but I was too lazy to write sets of 12-13 ahah. Okay, still seems reaaaaaaally tough but at least doable!
I have a mushroom problem- The salad bar started stocking mushrooms and I’ve had at least 20 cups in the past 4 days ( I don’t count veggies)
Those look AMAZING!!!
Back in Shanghai, I had access to the most amazing selection, not so much so as a student on a meal plan
Honestly, I’m up for it- I’d never gone
Probably more for the “where you live” thread, but there is a pretty good variety available locally if you know where/when to look. Certain seasons like morel (late April-mid may) become like a foot race through the woods.
I’ve been at it for about 20 years.
This was a while back. Big sheep’s head and chicken of the woods.
Those are my favorite!!!
