Managed 24!! This was on my second set, I generally rep it out after4-5 sets.24 reps @ 100 calcs to a 1rm of 180kg!!! Fark! Huge mate, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movement focuses a forward force through your hips so your back, glutes and hamstrings benefit as well as your upper body (Lats, upper traps and forearms which help hold the barbell). It will help you build strength through your core which is essential to avoiding injury when it comes time to work with heavier weights through your upper body.

Haven't had the chance to go crazy since my op but I miss that jelly legs feeling you get after a really good leg workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
