      @user_1abc 4 місяці тому

      @@invaderg3332 This is great but her form during the last 2-3 reps was not as good as the first 10. You can't do 20x 100 kgs? Depends on how much time and effort you've given it. IF you train from age 13 and this is all you do - not v difficult. You could beat Pete Rubish or Larry Wheels. Those are great targets. Some one with a different profession doing this would be far more difficult. I once saw a Google SE squat 120 kgs for 10 reps. Of course, dude was abt 200lbs. Still commendable.

    I've had ACL reconstructions in both knees over the years, and the only leg exercise I could get on with was back squats. I also find higher reps much more beneficial, so I used to do 3 sets of 20 reps on the back squat. I'd dread leg day each week, as I knew it was going to be brutal! At 100kg bodyweight, I'd start with 100kg doing 3x12, then the following week 3x13, and so on, adding a rep each week. Once I could do that weight easily for 3x20 for a couple of weeks, I'd add 10kg on each side. The best I got up to was 3x20 with 160kg on a number of cycles, but invariably one of my knees would play up, or my back would seize, as I've also got a crushed disc low down, so I'd have to back off and start again. I'd seriously have to have my head together to get through those workouts as it was savage! Highly recommended though, for the whole body!

    Can you make a video for us about undoing too much sitting throughout the day. I need some exercises to try and undo the effects of sitting too much. Thanks. I love your stuff.

    Love the video but everyone should have a safety in the squat rack in case they pass out when squatting.

    Man, imagine squatting 16-17 reps of more than double your body weight at the end of the leg day

    I can’t think of any activity more intense than high rep squats, I literally pray that I survive the single set (BW x 30 reps).
    The side plank is a little too much for my shoulders as they fatigue much earlier. I remedied this by supporting some of the top load with the top arm (like an adjusted racked bar or pulley) and the bottom arm is extended with hand on the floor (1 min ea side). The target muscles work just as much, all the same, and for a more intense variation you can lift the top leg.
