Did this all at home with my brother spotting me, I'm getting my dad to help make me some sturdy and strong squat stands so I don't have to by any ahha, until then my chairs will do I suppose. 2 rest days now, then bench friday and the weekend very light cardio. I've also got next week off college and I'm staying over my dads to cat sit lol, plenty of resting up!

2 thumbs up!!!

Rossi mate that is strong 8 rep for a 85kg Squat , i am loving squats so much myself . I just tried on this trouser i had last year and yes they were difficult to pull up from the Quads , not that i am complaining

Cheers dude! Would have been a couple more but the barbell was very uncomfortable on my neck/back.. Ahha yeah I've had to buy medium sized tshirts for the first time in my life after lifting, its a good feeling :p

Great squats mate !!!!
