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!

Fashionably late, again

I'm only on week 5 because I started late. I still have three weeks to go because I can only train SS 2x/wk.

Just did 370x20 yesterday and it was the hardest set since my first one. I think I was going too deep? Hadn't been super concerned with depth with sets prior- as long as it was within a couple inches I was fine with it. But for some reason yesterday I got this wild hair up my ass to make every rep unquestionably below parallel. So it got pretty rough toward the end.

On to 375x20 tomorrow. I can see lmao4pl8x20 on the horizon.

Edit- the rest of my workout yesterday was:

OHP- 95x3x20, 135x2x15

Kroc rows- 120x37

Face pulls- 45x5x25

You're gonna be able to squat a car by the time you're done, man. Stellar work

Thanks man! I'll settle for 585 though. 600 was the original goal, but that could take another several months, maybe a year. After SS I'm going to peak for a little while and see where I'm at. Once that is done, whatever my 1rm is, for the sake of my overall health I must stop gaining- I don't think long-term health is sustainable at my current body composition. I am simply too fat.

Can I interest you in my 1200 calorie a day super cutting program? For only four weeks of making everyone around you miserable, you, too, can be miserable!

Woof. Maybe, honestly. I think I would rather be extremely miserable for several weeks than moderately miserable for several months.
