Nice gains in squats

[edster951]

Not as good as you guys, but I've blasted past my bogy weight in squats and not have gone on to surpass it.

I always feel short on 100kgs, but after 5 weeks of GVT

60kg, 70kgs, 80kgs, 85kgs, 90kgs,..... 10x10

I've decided to go heavy, and after a few weeks...

I did

60kgsx10
100kgs (220lbs)x 6
110kgs (242lbs)x 5, and blew my tonsils out almost. Did I have to strain on the last one or what!!!
100kgs x 5 surprisingly these felt light until the third one

Best ever squat session for me weight wise.

So a pat on the back for me for getting past that bogy weight.

Good job Eddie! Anytime you outdo a personal best is reason to feel good about yourself.

Nice work!

The weight used is only important to you. Anytime you best yourself is what counts.

Thanks everyone....

Surprisingly not sore today, but as Milo says...its not an indicator, as long as you better yourself, thats the indicator.

Ed mate, WELL DONE!

Ok listen, your progress looks identical to mine! Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was going up in gentle increments, from 90, to 95, to 100 and finally to 113kg.

Now, I posted here about the squat being an inherently dangerous excercise, and your body rightfully being shy of heavy weights. So, I BLASTED away on the legpress at an outside gym, and guess what?

My squat SHOT up from 113Kg for 6 reps to 150Kg for 5 in ONE week!!!

Try it!

Nice going mate,



JayBee.
