    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.

        Squatober has you pick a training max that’s not your 1RM, so you won’t die :)

          I mean you still have no recovery days… I would rather just keep my split as is tbh

    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.

        I’m annoyed by it too, but you can see the posts without logging in. You think I have an instagram account?

          Not for everyone. I’m hit with a login screen when I try to view any of the accounts.

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

        That doesn’t change the fact that the very concept doesn’t allow time for recovery, which is counterproductive at best and actively harmful at worst.

      Personally I want the hoodie! It’s too pricey though.

    My lower back can’t handle the volume. I’ve had to set up my program with at least one rest day between heavy back exercises like squats, deadlifts, RDL, etc…

      The nice thing about lifting every day is that you don’t get as sore.

    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.

    Oh damn, I didn’t even know this was a thing!! I wish I would have known. I just started a 100 rep squat thing that I do every day for the next 100 days, but I def would have started that at the beginning of the month if I had known this!
