Today At Gym - 08/27

Jeff

Following my progressive  overload strategy I had to squat 4 sets of 10 reps with 60 kg this morning.

Last Wednesday I really struggled to squat 57.5 kg and have been worrying the whole of yesterday whether or not I would be able to handle 60 kg.

This probably means that part of the reason I could not do all the reps on the last two sets were partly psychological.

Start Time 06:23
Duration 73 minutes
Calories Burned 550 kcal
Session Type Strength Training
Session Focus Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes

Next week I will attempt 60 kg squats again, and I am pretty confident that soon I would be able to do them for all the planned sets and reps. The fact that my squat weight is slowly approaching my body weight is also a great confidence booster.

I will however never be able to squat 540 kg like world record holder Jeff Lewis, even the thought of that is just scary...
