It might have been posted or it might not. Regardless, I thought I'd share with you all Matt Kroczaleski's 40 reps of insanity.

so funny, I watched that video and it inspired me too. So I did a dropset for squats as you can see in my log. 8 reps was too much though, I went for 5 :(

Kroc is awesome. I like how he does hardcore BB-inspired workouts like this (and looks like an bodybuilder) even though he's an powerlifter.

I like how he can squat nearly a grand and still be a functional human being.
