Good day comrades! How has your exercising been going this week?
I got some paint on my brake disks. Used up some truck bed liner spray on the inside of the disks so I had to finish the outside with a can gray metal spray paint I had laying around. Will probably do a light coat of more liner spray when I get some just to match them up. I’m hoping to get some more like these in the futures and make several sets of 10lb weights to use with dumbbells. I need to move up to 40s soon but if I make them out of solid concrete they’ll be almost too big to maneuver properly. lol.
I was able to go back last month after the broken bone and I’m smashing my sets. Also worked on 1kcal a day for the past week or so. People say it’s bad but it feels amazing and that’s what matters.
Ended 1kcal today and will enter 1.5kcal.
Oof that sounds rough comrade. Glad you’re recovering well and killin it.
Dope dumbbells.
Covid hit me this week. Slept 14 hours or more a day for three days. Didn’t work out yet, barely ate this week as well. But I’m getting better. Hope to be able to do a home workout this weekend.
COVID sucks but sleeping for 14 hours sounds amazing.
I skipped squats again this week for my knees but I’ve gotten some braces in so gonna give it a go this next week. Started deadlifting again and doing well getting back to my previous weight. Bench presses going good too. Haven’t done OHO as I do them on squat day and when you skip your most intense lift it kind of kills the motivation.

Nice work comrade! Also
My knees exploded from reading this.
I kept exercising but got undisciplined with my diet and can literally feel the sluggishness this week.
How much should i be squatting @ 60kg bw? Ive been stuck for a while @ 60kg for 6-8reps, (4 with decent form) scared to go up since my form is not perfect at that weight. On hack squats i can go for 120kg for 8 reps.

Honestly whatever weight you feel comfortable with that’s getting you gains. There’s no magical number or percentage. I’m a bigger individual but my squat is lower due to just not having trained that area in my youth and now my joints can’t handle a whole lot. Growth is slow so I just take it at a slow pace as I build up but it takes a lot of time. Some people can start out higher and grow faster. Age is a big factor. Just do whatever weight feels right and get results.
