OMG YES lol'd so hard at that fine piece of typical News LTD journalism! So ignorant....

[Nee-san]

I'm slowly thinning on top, must be the governments fault.

Ain't nothin' slow about my thinning Yo.

This is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called No-Hair

Squatting 60kg for max reps until you collapse under the weight and the safety bars catch it - try standing up after this!

had a guy notice me doing cuban press, face pulls etc yesterday, gave me some good pointers with other prehab type exercises I could do (turned out to be a doctor).

Birds that sounds like something the pro BB in our gym would inflict onto one of his PT clients, except for the fact that he dosen't squat so it would be leg press and calf raises lol. how long did it take you to recover afterwards?

[Birds]

Not long til I could stand again, but my legs were cactus for the rest of the night. Dropped down from the pull-up bar and my legs had trouble standing back up etc.

I guess where this shit gets you bad, is that when you are squatting a big weight, your leg and back muscles will go until they can no longer push up another rep of that big weight - but that doesn't mean they don't have lots of strength left in them - just not enough for xxxkg. Hence you can stand easily afterwards under just your own weight. Drop it down to something light, like 60kg, and your last rep at this weight is more likely to drain you of any remaining strength, to the point where you can't support your own body weight for a minute or two. I imagine body squats with no bar would do you even worse.

Give it a shot sometime, after your heavy weights!

I'd thought about giving 100 reps of 60kg a go just to see if I could do it!

I used to think I could do that with 40kg, was trying to prove a point... got to 30 reps lol

[bozodos]

I really have no idea - the most I've done is 64 reps of bodyweight in the 8x8 setup for Tabata!

I can do 100 reps of bodyweight squats easily enough, but add weight and it's a different story

Funny this, I don't remember you conceding your point to me; seemed to forget all about it

I tried it again lastnight with sets of 90kg. Back hates me today. Did better in squats lastnight than normally, so I'd say the huge set of 60kg helped somewhat.

112.5kg bench; was fairly easy; another 7.5kg to go for a pb. So hard to resist being sensible with my shoulder issues.

[No Crust Racing]

Nice work mate.

[aabc4lock]

I bet if you didnt do your work sets before your 1rm attempt youd shit 120kgs in...

[Birds]

Probably

But we know I'm too stubborn for that...and my old pb was based on a 1RM after working sets,

However I have switched my squats to that style (1RM before working sets), as they were actually on a severe plateau that I couldn't break through with any other way.

Birds, stubborn?

[Birds]

Stubborn Birds got a 115 bench tonight, so another 5kg and we are home for a new pb

Though thinking about it I never used to touch chest; it was always within an inch of it, so I'm probably actually stronger than I used to be.
