I'm trying to get better at barbell squats. I now do sets of 4 x 8 with 50kg. I find it, excuse my French, fucking hard.

What amazes me most though is that there are female people out there, with a similar frame, who walk around with that extra 50kgs on their body everyday. Not to fatshame or anything, I just find it impressive what the human body can endure.

Could have done a lot better on the form, but it's really satisfying that I can now do deadlift sets of 4x4 with 90kg 😃

Again, I would post it on #pixelfed, but the 15MB limit makes it impossible @pixelfed 😭

@kylejj nah, just mimicking what I learn at crossfit.

@Gina Got it, I used to do something close to Crossfit while I was in the Army. I love weightlifting and I have been enjoying doing Push Pull Legs twice a week with one day of rest.

That's awesome though, keep it up! You might want to look into a lifting belt soon.
