Hard to tell, but there is a 45 lb plate strapped to my back
Also may have set a (other than wrestling) sweat PR.

@littlesleeper hit 225 for a set of 50. Lot of breathing in between but no racking. Gonna cry now
And you said you suck at reps. Nice!
I got 7 decent reps on Deadlift with 80% of my true max today, Iāve no idea whether this is a lot or a little but I put a lot of effort into it.
@MarkKO Today was the most miserable squat session of my life. Thanks for the extra push for the PRās.
@brady888 glad I could help. Squats for reps are horrible. Itās not like DL where you know when youāre done, with squats you can keep going and going depending how miserable you want to get.
I like that. Itās satisfying once the nausea is over.
Mine is tomorrow. I was going to shoot for eight, but now Iām hitting 10 unless I think Iāll hurt myself.
The effort is what matters. Itās a fair amount, though. My best in that range is six or seven.
I donāt blame you for capping at a reasonable number. Donāt know what happened to my 300x26 video, but they were getting really nasty near the end. It was basically an eccentric squat followed by a concentric goodmorning.
I donāt cap really. I just keep going until Iām not confident itās safe, or until Iām sure Iāll fail. Squat is probably the one lift where Iāll really push.
Just got 9 reps with 85% of my max for bench, I was very close to failing. Although that set puts my 1RM up 7kg so I donāt know if it counts.
If you do wendler and use,letās say 90% of your max,to find what is the true % you used do 90%X85%=0.90X0.85%=0.765=76.5%
Anyways,a pr is a pr,congrats bro
I wouldnāt worry about it bud. My PR set of 10 on squat probably isnāt my 85%, but I sirr thought it was before the set happened lol.
No insult meant by capping, I meant what you clarified as sure it would cause injury. I was dumb and was sure that reps 8-10 wouldnāt happen though. I just went down and somehow it kept moving.
Cool thread.
My only real input here is that I looked up this Alphadestiny guy. He looks like dog shit. I donāt know why anyone would listen to him, given the fact that he seems to be all about aesthetics. But whatever. Sometimes you gotta set the bar really, really low, I guessā¦
Eric Bugenhagen is legit strong, but if you think heās natural, youāre not very smart.
And these ultra-high rep sets Bradyās doing are ridiculous. Fucking 225x50. No way. Iāve done 365x20, but probably couldnāt get more than 30 out of 225. Because death.
@flipcollar Lol, I vomited profusely and my legs are quite tender today. I am 100% sure you could get it for 50. It probably took me 6-7 minutes. The last 10 reps or so were singles with 10 or more deep breaths in between.
Before I started wendler I worked up to a 5RM which I use as my training max and also used that to calculate a 1RM so thatās where I got 85% from but this set puts my calculated 1RM 7kg higher. Not very accurate I know but I donāt want to test for a 1RM right now and still wanna take part in the thread.
I think all YouTube fitness personalities are silly. Itās gotta be really hard to find a way to stand out. I do love me some cheat rows and shrugs though.
Of course man.I didnāt try to be an asshole or anything
