I'm in some problem
I went today to the gym to do 60kg squat and when i went and try go back up it was just impossible, i don't know why it is that heavy.
So i decided to half squats with 60kg instead (i know pathetic), but i had to squat it and that's the only way.
i did dumbell box jumps before it to make it easier like an assist exercise but didn't help.
any tips? i want to be able to progress so i can reach my goals, don't like being stuck.
thanks
I am not adarqui but i took a look in your journal. Last time you squatted before yesterday was 40 days ago where you maxed at 12*50. So for such a long layoff and on a bad day, it's not so weird to fail at 60kg.
My advice would be, forget the poundage , the number. 60 kg is neither light, nor heavy. It's feather light for KF , it's impossible for you , normal for someone, easy for someone else , hard from yet another one etc.
You want to progress?
1) Pick a template. e.g. 3x5, 4x5 , 5x5, 3x8 , whatever.
2) Do it with a weight you can complete in good form.
3) Next time add 2,5kg
4) If you fail to do the prescribed reps , do the same load next time, otherwise increase.
5) EAT GOOD - SLEEP GOOD - LEAVE SOME RECOVERY TIME ( in caps because it is the most important ).
6) Repeat forever, become Rony Coleman / Lebron James / Usain Bolt , whatever!
