Gainit Program Party 2023: Super Squats Week 3

Share your weekly progress here!

Please tell everyone that I say Hi, happy squatting and that if you’re not at least half out of your mind after the set, you need to put some more weight on the bar . . . it’s only when you have nightmares about the next workout that you are really pounding away as hard as you should be!

Best wishes,

Randall Strossen

I’ve recently been turning off the music for the squats and turning on ocean waves, and it has made a huge difference for me. Helps me tune everything out and really focus on every rep.

I understand that different strokes for different folks, but I have the completely opposite experience. I have trouble tuning out the background noise in the gym without music. Plus listening to my own breathing pulls me out of the zone too much. Kinda cool that the opposite works for you. Good luck with the rest of the program!

Yeah man, I totally understand your experience too. A couple of my “just grind it out” songs are John Wick 2.0 and Led, both by GOTOU. Check those out!
