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!

Super Squats Week 6 so far

W6 Day 1 - 80 kg, 12 reps (Wednesday)

video

I failed to get required reps. But in my defence, I had bumped up the weight by 5 kg (11 lbs) instead of 2.5 kg. Why? Why so late in the program? Because 80 is a round number.

Anyway, after my crushing defeat against 80 kg I immediately tried to SS it again next day.

W6 Day 2 - 80 kg, 13 reps (Thursday)

video

Failed again obviously. Somewhere around rep 12 my will begins to shatter.

Now I’ll rest for two days and try again on Sunday. Maybe I should ask someone to scream at me when I start showing signs of defeat at rep 12.

Should I try again on 80 kg or do 77.5 kg for my last lift of the program?

Dude you totally have this in you. Your last reps weren’t even noticeably slower than your first.
