Good work quitting smoking, that shits hard. I still maintain its the hardest thing I’ve ever done. 20 rep squats come close…but not quite as hard as that first day of hell.
I think we all have a lil girl crush on brute…

it’s not little.
owlie- yeah the wife and I decided to quit. It was easier for me because I was more of a “social smoker” where as she smoked almost a pack a day. I know…gross. but she quit!
what was harder for me was giving up soda and energy drinks…
I have actually never tried to rep out 20 squats…I shall try that today!

I’ll take your not low enough 225 if you don’t want it! 
MiM- you can have it when I squat 250.
_Mel-lo
If you’re not failing occasionally, you’re not challenging yourself.
Love how you say “8 plates” like it’s nuttin.
i fail all the time! don’t feel bad! My god, i think this week alone i failed at least four or five things :{
yes and then you came back with a 300lbs squat Brute when you win your amazing.
and hai Mel! - still reading along…
I quit just before I turned 30. Seemed like the smart thing to do, not just for my lungs, but also to avoid getting a mouth like a cat’s arse.
Your squat numbers are embarrassing me.
Don’t lie. You dropped the bar to make the big noise so everyone would know how much weight you were throwin around!
If you didn’t fail at least a little bit, we’d wonder if you were human. welcome. live long and prosper!
jealous of your glute ham raises!
snapper- haha, I didn’t think it was that much! i hate failing!
brute- I’ve never failed before, 
I don’t like it.
nlmain- Yeah, I will never be able to compete with Brute’s squat numbers!
Cal- I’m glad we quit. It’s just a nasty habit!..not that I don’t have worse ones.
Cbear- HAHA, actually I tried to put it down as daintily as possible as to not make a big noise! lol and I am not human by the way…shhhhh
I hate doing the glutes, but I really want a toned ass, because right now it’s just fucking huge…I only did a few sets bc my legs were shaking. I hold a 35lb plates usually when I do them. only held 25 yesterday though.
Dude, with the way you squat how can your ass not be rock hard?
Anyways, a “fail at 225” ain’t bad at all. And nice chins! you’re an animal.
maschy- I wonder than myself. It’s hella “juicy” as my wife says. No matter how thin I get, it stays! …But thanks you! And I like the new pic
