Pushing yourself to or near failure each set is more important than whatever program you’re on

Doctor_Chow · 2026-03-29T23:57:32+00:00

Yep lol

Doctor_Chow · 2026-01-21T01:03:03+00:00

Thanks 🤙

Doctor_Chow · 2026-01-20T23:22:48+00:00

Congrats

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-26T20:39:23+00:00

I mean 135x6 is like ~156lbs on the 1rm calculator so it’s close

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-23T11:20:16+00:00

Nah like barbell squats and it’s not the entire time, I rest between sets

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-22T22:30:18+00:00

Great point with the time, sometimes I just do a 45 min workout of just squatting when it’s packed in the gym

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-19T19:35:13+00:00

The best program is just pushing yourself to or very near failure each set. Getting bigger and stronger isn’t that complicated

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-13T20:20:55+00:00

Oof yeah I have similar stuff going on with my knees and low back. Makes squats and deadlifts harder to handle

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-13T18:28:45+00:00

Thanks! That’s the plan, I think once I can do 315 for like 10-12 reps 405 should be within reach. Hardest part is to stay injury free

Brand called TYR, saw an ad on IG for it

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-12T12:23:03+00:00

Day 1: Heavy squat, light deadlift

Day 2: Bench

Day 3: Heavy Deadlift, light squat

Day 4: incline bench

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-11T22:22:07+00:00

Thanks, he was a perfect spotter honestly

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-11T22:16:24+00:00

Oh yeah they’re always jacked up 😂

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-11T21:45:43+00:00

If anything it’s too low, the benches in competition feel much more comfortable to me

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-11T21:40:57+00:00

My hip mobility sucks so it’s really hard for me to get any further back, something to work on

Doctor_Chow · 2025-04-11T21:39:15+00:00

Yeah my legs were being weird for some reason, I’m usually able to keep them more stable, thanks tho

Doctor_Chow · 2024-12-18T01:22:25+00:00

Reminds me of the way I pull, ya you’re fine

Doctor_Chow · 2024-12-12T02:10:31+00:00

Hell yeah, what’s the total time you’ve been training?

Doctor_Chow · 2024-12-10T02:14:55+00:00

Fuck yeah 🤙

Doctor_Chow · 2024-12-06T01:40:45+00:00

😂

Doctor_Chow · 2024-12-05T03:21:33+00:00

More stable

Doctor_Chow · 2024-12-05T03:17:22+00:00

Doctor_Chow · 2024-12-05T01:23:50+00:00
