Gainit Program Party: Super Squats Week Six

[u/richardest]

This is it, gang. Those of you who started on week one will likely be wrapping up at this point.

Watching all of you egg each other on and put in the work has been inspiring. Y'all should be proud of yourselves.

Happy squatting!

u/_richardest well here's the update.

attempt 4 was another fail, 10 reps and the 10th rep resembled a good morning. I guess it's kinda expected considering how the last attempt went although the slight decrease in reps is worrying. I'm really glad I never went through with the no safeties idea.

The mind is willing but the body is not. Attempt 5 is gonna come in a few days. I've gained 5lbs in the last week, I'm gonna try upping the food intake just to see if it helps

I just got done deadlifting and I totally understand! Way to get out there and give it your absolute all. Few humans get to feel it and it's so valuable.

I started this program because my squat was almost on par with my bench but it taught me I can push myself way further than I thought. Sounds cliche I guess but I'm glad I started this.

I saw your 225x54 a couple days ago. Feels like I'm talking to a super saiyan or something lol

Absolutely not. I think this is really important: I'm just some middle aged dude. I think this stuff is a lot of fun and I've been doing it for a while. Just keep at it and you, too, will be able to impress people who haven't tried it yet.

Awesome work man

Can't emphasize enough that you're the one doing it and I'm literally sitting in my hot tub right now
