NOT squatting is ALSO not going to get your squat to 300kilos.
But bodyweight squats will do a better job of getting you there than not squatting.

There’s all kinds of ways to make it more challenging. Tempo, single leg/pistol, hold something heavy off center, etc.
Get creative. It’s amazing what can be done with nothing.
And, with the whole wanting to be an adult thing. There’s pros and cons to both sides. HOWEVER, with what I know about you, you will be much happier in adulthood. Keep your chin up, it’s right around the corner. Before you know it it’s here and shit is real. Try to enjoy this phase, it’ll be gone and you WILL NOT be able to go back. Life is great. Enjoy all of it.
Peace!

Hey young Duke
Really glad you had a great BJJ day, despite the shitty call.
You’re growing in your mental game, you were able to but it aside that’s really good.
6 pull ups: cool Mate.
Keep up the good work and good spirit.

Thankyou
Went home for the week so no MMA but i plan on doing some conditioning, also i’m working on the farm doing some labour stuff which is good. Kinda needed a break from stuff and yeah.
School semester is over and theirs two weeks left this term. I did really well, i Got a B in maths and every other subject besides english which i think i just passed or failed by 1%. Their was a bit of mess up because my teacher left and a substitute came and work got lost between the teacher swap over so i dont know what’s going on there but that’s okay. Anyway step up from last year where i got C’s and D’s on everything.

Duke that is amazing, seriously to turn your grades around like that takes some real focus and hard work. Keep grinding young man and good things will follow.

Thanks guys!
I’m liking the attitude and maturity you are displaying lately. Wether it be the boarding school, MMA or something else, I’m not sure, but it’s working for you. I can see that you are striving to be a little bit better everyday in all aspects of your life, and this is a habit that will pay off throughout your life. Good stuff mate.
