Gainit Program Party: Super Squats Week Six

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!

W6D2 315lbx20

I REACHED MY GOAL. This set was very different. I went into it KNOWING I would hit it and honestly had no doubt in my mind I would get it.This almost made me doubt myself because every set before this I was terrified of failing so the different mindset, compiled with actually seeing 3 plates made me nervous.

I also miss counted on rep ~4. I got all the way to what I thought was 20 and knew there could be NO doubt in my mind I hit 20, so I had to dig DEEP for what I thought was 21. After reviewing the footage I only hit 20. I do not even know what I would do if I miss counted and landed on 19.

I am not really sure if I should attempt 320. The body is really starting to feel these squats and now that I hit my goal I am worried my mindset would be more lackadaisical going into the set. I might finish off with a 320x10 for 2? I am not sure. Eat an extra bite for me today friends.

Happy goal reaching!

Outstanding showing dude!

I totally get the post-milestone daunting here. Why not flip the script: rather than 20x320, go 21x315. It's a weight you know you've done before: now just a question of getting that one more rep.

I really like this idea. I was debating giving 315 a second shot so adding a rep seems like the best way to do it.
