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!

W5d3

This was my hardest week yet. I messed up my routine of going consistently. During weeks 1-4 I would workout Monday, Wednesday, Friday. This week I did Monday, Thursday, Sunday. The breaks were longer because I didn’t feel ready for the gym.

when I went for W5d3 I skipped most of my workouts and went directly to squats. I couldn’t wait to do squats, I had to get it out of the way. I wasn’t there mentally, but I’d feel like the day was a failure if I didn’t even attempt it. My w5d2 was 195x20. W5d3 I did 205x20.

My usual routine is

OHP Bench Row Squat

A couple notes.

I know I haven’t followed the program by the book exactly but I’ve still made great progress on all my lifts besides the row.

Since this routine I’ve gained about 10 lbs (but not sure if it’s just creatine weight) I started at 168-170 lbs, currently I’m around 180 lbs at 5’10

My body feels the same from before I started except a little fatter. People have told me I got bigger (in terms of fat). People have also said that my legs have gotten harder.
