I've been avoiding squats this weekend. Maybe this is the kick in the *kitten* I needed.1 -

Thank you, squats don’t like me but I force myself to work them in from time to time. I like to squat raw (no belt or knee wraps) and I felt shaky on these. This is a 10 week program and I’ll probably replace them with Bulgarian split squats or maybe just leg press. I do enjoy the smith hack squats so I’ll keep them for sure. Good luck with your squats.

I feel like I get more growth out of Bulgarian Split Squats and they are a bit easier on my lower back. Don’t get me wrong they both are torture to me. 🤷♂️0 -

My RPE on BSS is 11...always!
RPE for squats can vary from 7 to 9.5 depending on the weight.
But i get about the growth part. BSS are definatly better for growing, they are brutal! And yes easier on the lower back as well.

@KickassAmazon76 & @kinetixtrainer2 thank you both for posting your workouts. I find it difficult to stay motivated to food journal or even keep an account on MFP. (I get discouraged and deactivate my account.) But I keep coming back to try again. After watching you both workout I'm going to lift weights today.2

I have been struggling with some emotional stuff. It's had me feeling weepy, angry, and wanting to eat comfort food in the comfort of my pj's.
I have NOT wanted to go to the gym to do week 7 day 2 squats at 95% of 1rm. Not. At. All.
Granted, I have been using a value of 210lb for squats even though my best was 1 at 240, I've been dealing with hip issues and was going lighter.
Anyways... Today I went. It was hard to go. Really hard. But I went. I put on workout clothes that were obnoxiously loud. Put on music that was heavy. And went.
And I'm so glad I did. I managed 6 reps at 205lb, which is actually close to a calculated 1rm at 240. That was a huge mood boost.
Also, leg press with 3 plates each side makes me feel incredible. As if I'm something special.
I'm the end... I'm not In as bad a mood as I was before I went. And I'm glad I did.
This game is so much a mental one.

I hate BSS. They hurt my feelings. But they are so very effective. Sigh. So I do them anyways.0 -

So basically we all agree 😂1 -
Day 5: Posting all three sets of the incline dumbbell presses. First set my phone passed out on me. Second set I consider a fail because fell short of the rep count. Third set I’m posting because it actually went to plan.😁
