Squatober

I would like to see what we could do with some PF Squat workouts. Of course, we would have to will our shooting supplies to the survivors.

Well Aaron snuck Benchtober in on us. I added 30 pounds to my bench this month for 305.

I was absolutely smoked by the time I got to my final set of squats. I took 235 to the danger zone.

Good job man!

I felt the burn with you on that set of squats. What was your lead up to them?

[Hizzie]

5 x 10

155
175
195
215
235

I really didn’t want to do them.

Yeah the 5x10s sucked, and I wasn't even doing real weight like Hizzie. But at least we got to do 5 minutes of wall sits to cool down [emoji52]
I ended up at 195 on bench (up about 25 lbs). I think I had another 5 or 10 lbs but I didn't want to have a bigger bench than squat, even though it's not by much and they're both crap anyway [emoji16]
Great way to finish the month, I'm really pleased. Pretty excited to see where press and deadlift are now; I'll probably do that Sunday.

Well crap, I’ll be 6,000 swings into the Dan John 10k swing challenge on 10/1. Have to decide if I want to bail early and try this.

What was the workout frequency and length last year?

[TheNewbie]

I am doing a bench program @Robert Mitchum gave. Also I am doing a 20 rep squat program two times a week, with a goal of doing 315 x 20. If it all works out, the 315 goal should be hit in October.


You guys doing the hardcore squatober workout are more disciplined than I. It's a choice, I know, but still you make that choice to really do awesome things in the gym.


Good luck to you.

I was looking forward to trying out squatober... but my doctor thinks I might have a rotator cuff tear, and my MRI to confirm isn't till mid october. Im probably going to be getting bands and stuck with occupational therapy for awhile.
