hehe thanks man.

Set 5 was a grinder ey, I was beginning to wonder whether I could actually finish it. Set 6 however I just got a massive 2nd wind and raped it.

 

[Anabolicus]

Mmm.. nice squatting mate. How many times you squat in a week? Good luck running 2 lifts together.

 

[Skeptic]

4 times a week hahahha

Thanks mate, I am already regretting my decision to do them together

I waited a while after the 7th set of squats for my knee to stop hurting but it didn't. I'll see how it feels monday on my next squat day.

Man up son. :bball:

 

[Skeptic]

I want to man up, but I will honestly have to see how my knee holds up ey.

 

[Anabolicus]

Hope your knee gets better mate.

 

[Skeptic]

Thanks man, I'm hoping its just a matter of warming it up more.

 

[Pickle]

your like my harder younger twin. my right knee hurt last time i did heavy squats too, i blame wearing of poor quality thongs. are you a victim?

p.s props on blitzing the bench after being annoyed with ur squat. much tougher then i give u credit for.

 

[Skeptic]

Squats felt unusually easy... first couple sets were easy. My knee was feeling fantastic today, I think the extra warmup on the bike did the trick. I only got 5 in the last set because I think I got a bit excited that it was the last rep, I got way off balance comming out of the hole and just couldn't correct it.

I only did 5 sets with bench because the gym closed.

 

[Pickle]

fucking sweet squatting man. love it long time

 

[Skeptic]

I was also being distracted by these retards deadlifting next to me. I'm all for letting the bar hit the ground in between reps... but you don't dump the bar on every rep. They were also hyperextending majorly on lockout so I kinda sat and hoped they threw their backs out.

 

[Pickle]

lol, should of put ur splitt pants in their face baby

 

[Skeptic]

Hehe, I only wear stretchy pants now

 

[Pickle]

prove it. squat at my gym

 

[El Freako]

Squats are looking pretty impressive.

Too impressive... :bball:

 

[Skeptic]

hehe, we'll see how it all pans out for the rest of the week! the 10x3@ 155kg will be hard I think.

 

[Tunen]
