hilary wright Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Nice benching . . . how are your wrists doing while squatting? This item is pricey, but works . . . from the pictures, one could also easily make their own version.http://www.davedraper.com/fitness_products/product/TTS.htmlI was in Billings in the 80s, very cool place. Nice old theater, probably gone now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi Hilary,My wrist are usually OK during the squat.Since my chest is usually sore when I squat, I think I don't get my arms back far enough.Then my wrists bend backwards to reach the bar.I'm trying to make sure I get my wrists under the bar now.My wrist were really sore a couple weeks ago when I did the 50 reps. Was the old theater called the Alberta Bair?It is still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilary wright Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I have the same wrist problem . . . oh well, I sure am not going to stop squatting. I tend to like the high rep stuff as well. Love that burn!Many thanks for that link, very cool that it is still there. I remember walking in and looking at the stage and one of the huge racks of lights crashing down to the stage floor . . . the stage tech said to all of us, "Don't worry, that usually doesn't happen during the show" Yikes!

Jason Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Evening Squats 160 x 30 My form was starting to degrade at the end.More weight on my toes as I went up, so I stopped at 30.I think I'm done adding weight AND reps at the same time.Keep the reps at 30 until I get to 185.Then I might go for the 50 reps again, haven't decided yet. Now off to the gym for a 30 minute ride on the treadmill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontxhide Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hows this going man? Im currently on my second six week squat program after having been laid up for a month or two due to ashould injury. Squatting 225 is a big goal, I havent even attempted 200 yet, and with 20 reps! Good job! Currently, squatting every other day is finally taking its toll on my legs. UGH. I cant wait til this cycle is over and I can focus my energy for a while on other exercises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still adding weight everytime I squat.I had to start over a couple months ago, caught a cold with a persistant cough.The weights are getting tougher each time.I need to take at least 2 days off between squatting.Early on, I think I could have done every other day, but not anymore. Thanks for stopping by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Adding another goal: Lose 2 inches of belly during the month of June. I did so well last summer losing fat, about 4 inches in the waist. Over the winter I put back on an inch. I'm going to lose 2 inches this month. I will measure it by my belt holes. Eat clean, exercise, rest.Make it a habit.

VeganEssentials Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Great work! My endurance would give out before I'd make 35 with 165 - that's a great mark to hit, and 50 will be some impressive stuff. When you get to 165x50, there's no question in my mind that you'll plow through 225x20. Actually, at 35 reps right now, I'd bet you've got a fair shake at being able to do the 225x20 right now if you gave it a go, but if you have a plan, stick to it and see where it takes you. If anything else, mix it up with some other things as you get closer to the time of the goal - try something like 5x15 @ 185-205 or something and you'll know just how easy you're going to nail that 20 rep set when the time comes.
