I went from 3 to 5. Female, 113# - I'm actually pretty happy with adding two on to my reps. I'll keep working. My goal now is to do 10 non-stop reps!

HIGHLY undertrained! Every frat boy and "typical" gym goer wants a big bench and a six pack. Most of them don't even know how to get THOSE, let alone a balanced, STRONG body. The posterior chain is chronically ignored (after all, why strengthen something you can't see in a mirror, right??) and i NEVER, EVER see anyone doing a proper squat! Last weekend I saw a kid throw 235 on the bar and proceed to squat literally 4-6 inches down (knees going straight out over the toes) and he looked proud of himself!! i wanted to slap him in the face with the pansy ass neck pad he put on the bar. See? now you got me all fired up over the 99% of gym idiots who have no idea what they're doing or even worse, who THINK they know what they're doing and won't listen to anyone trying to help them out. But hey, they can plateau and stop making gains even with all the creatine and NO2 explode sh** they're taking while we keep getting Bigger Stronger Faster! fine with me! Keep doing what you do Zach - for those out there who truly want to put in the time and get under the bar, you provide a tremendous source of information and i for one have to say THANKS! (and happy thanksgiving a day late!) PS —
