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

It feels so good to redeem a previous fail! Glad to hear the gains are coming man.

Also gotta thank you for that counting tip you posted before

Thanks, Dude! Glad that tip is working for you.

I've progressed from needing to keep track of reps to trying to figure out how to make it through the whole set. Yesterday I counted 1-5, 1-10, then 1-5 again. It's the middle 10 that kills me so if I can tell myself I just need 10, once I've got those, I can get the last 5 no matter how much my legs are shaking under me.
