I'm not sure if I would want to deviate from my current training plan, i'm squatting twice a week and that's about as much as I can recover from, but I love the idea of something like this on Lemmy. Or a seasonal bulk party?

I'm pretty sure I would break if I tried to squat heavy more than 2x a week. But I love ideas like this haha.

An outside description of Squatober: https://www.garagegymreviews.com/squatober

I like the concept of a month-long squat fitness challenge but I personally don't jive with the notion of having to follow two Instagram accounts daily to get the next day's program description. My life requires a bit more advance notice than that.

Yeah. F that. Put the program on the website for those of us who aren’t using Instagram.

This seems like an irresponsible and unsafe amount of lifting. Am I missing something?

This shirt goes so hard

I literally can't do it every day, as I won't have access to a rack for a good bit, but every day that I do, I'll lift heavy things for butt energy.

Yup. Going to have sore legs for 31 days.
