Without a doubt, the dumbest idea I ever had...20 rep squats....
Dumbbell Snatch:4x3x2x1 Matrix with 75, 80, 90, 100lb db's respectively
Overhead Squat:3x3x135
1x1x185
And then....I had been thinking about it all day and well....
Warm Ups:135, 225, 315 all for fast doubles (too easy)
I put on my rehband back brace, had my inzer knee sleeves up...and then went for it!
405x23 reps
I literally layed on the ground for a good 10 minutes afterwards. The only reason I did 23 reps was because I lost count and thought I was at 17 when in reality I was at 20 and I did 3 extra repetitions. The most fatiguing test of strength I've ever attempted. Wont be doing a 20 repper for a good while :)
Finished off the workout with some ab work.
Getting stronger is awesome....20 rep squats....not so much.....but I'd do them again!
A little about me
I have competed in both Olympic Weightlifting and Bench-Only Lifting. I competed in Olympic Lifting as a kid. Best lifts of 255 Olympic Press, 225 Snatch, 255 Clean & Jerk. I met many of the great lifters and coaches from the 60's and 70's. After a 20-year break to serve my country I started lifting regularly again and competing in Bench-Only. Best Lift: 419lbs "equipped".
Feel free to follow along on the adventure...
