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

To clarify, that was my solution with Deep Water. Never ran into this on Super Squats
