  • Failed at the final rep of barbell squats today, wasn't pretty. Good to know where that fatigue line is!

  • Super valuable info to know! So many people think they're training hard and close to fsilure with 5 or 6 reps left in the tank.

    Did you have safeties? Tryna mentally categorise the 'ouch'.

  • I'm always paranoid of failing spectacularly on squats (well, as spectacularly as a couple of 10kg plates hitting the deck could go), especially with a dodgy knee - I've seriously considered just falling over backwards once or twice to get the bar as far away from me as possible 😂

    Had a proper fight with my last rep on the bench press earlier in the week too - was like a shitty movie effect, fuzzy hearing / tunnel vision, and of course the obligatory Hulk Hogan shaky arms - luckily the safety bars sit at a perfect height so it gives loads of confidence to push it a bit more, 90kg for reps now looking achievable
