not particularly well educated Member 85, 10986 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | they're alright mate pretty much a tricep only exercise , really only doing them because I'm limited to what I can do at the mo,still good to be training again after a short lay off and I think I actually enjoyed squatting on friday which is a first ! Your training's looking really good at the mo you must be pleased really strong on the bench and that sqauts just a tweak away from hitting depth ,pretty impressive considering your training at home woth no spotter and lifting kerbs all day! | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10986 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | 06/08/07 squatting again today legs felt a bit stiff at first and I had trouble getting depth but after some stretching and lots of warm up reps they loosened up. speed squats low bar wide stance 45 seconds rest between sets 60k/2 70k/2 80k/2 90k/2 100k/2 110k/2 to say the 100 and the 110 were speed squats is probably a bit of an exageration but the intent was there ! felt really good and strong at the end of these decided to go for a squat pbpsyched myself up loaded 140 on the bar squatted down really low and had the mother of all grinders getting back up ,must have taken a good 10to 15 seconds to get back up! really pleased to get the 140 as I should have had it at the comp but bottled out of going for it! unfortunately no video evidence but if you dont believe me you can kiss my skinny white arse! good mornings 60k 10 65k 10 70k 10 weighted sit ups 10k 15/15/15 sit ups 30 made up about the squat pb I feel like a major mental hurdle has been crossed! | ||
