After a break from them for a couple of years, I decided to get back to the 20-rep squats back in August. I started super light, but the weight is slowly creeping up.

The past couple of weeks I have been skipping the twenty rep squats because I was feeling quite run down. Today I did them and they felt great even though my knee was just pissy the past few days.

This morning I did manage lots of good lifting. Everything went great with nothing close to a bad rep or fail. Even did the twenty rep squats and SP deadlift program.
Top
I twisted my knee pretty good on ice yesterday but It felt better this morning. I went for it with the first Street Parking vault WOD today and felt good about it then did (slightly lighter) twenty rep squats and deadlift program today.

I did my twenty rep squats today after breakfast and some yard work. That felt great. After that we went for a walk and grabbed a couple of geocaches in town that we've been letting go for far too long.

Today's strength went a lot better for me than I expected it to. On Saturday I rolled my ankle while hiking and it was a bit angry at me yesterday. Today it felt fine so I attempted my strength and it went great.
Top
This morning I easily worked through my strength for the day then did a longer endurance rowing type of WOD. Later on I attempted and aborted my twenty rep squats for this week.
Top
It was really a surprising day for me today. I attempted my twenty rep back squats at 250 pounds the other day and aborted at one rep. Today after not sleeping super well due to alcohol I made the PR at the 250 pounds and they didn't even feel that bad.
Top
It wasn't nearly as hot or humid today, so I knocked out my strength, then later on my twenty rep squats for this week. Everything felt good, especially my very heavy twenty rep squat PR.
Top
I really had no idea how I'd do with my strength today after twisting me knee, tripping on one of the poorly maintained sidewalks in Mount Joy. Everything ended up going well. Even my heavier deadlifts felt great!
Top
I didn't get nearly enough sleep last night. That made my twenty rep squats feel extra tough. While I was doing them I kept hearing an old Crossfit coach, Steph, saying "Don't be a Bitch"

Today was an entirely different story than a few days ago for me in the home gym. Not only did I crush it in my lifts, but I felt great while doing it. I love days like this.
Top
I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. This morning was humid, I did my twenty rep squats in the morning. Later on in the day, we did our bro session together.
Top
Today was an excellent day for me in the garage, and very much to my surprise too. My regular strength and my twenty rep squats which I did felt great!
Top
I actually slept decently last night and didn't get woken up by the motorcycle. This led to me having an outstanding lifting session in the home gym.
Top
I got woken up by the neighbor repeatedly letting her door slam as she always does. I wasn't ready to get up. Regardless, I was feeling good today and had a good day in the home gym.
Top
We had a pretty busy day today. I attempted by twenty rep squats when we got home but aborted part way through. It just felt as if I was loading me knee weird. Later I struggled whit a WOD. Oh well, theirs gonna be days like this.
Top
I get to live another week on my twenty rep back squats. It was a heavy 230 pounds that I expected to feel tough. They felt beret as I worked through the twenty reps.
Top
I had an unplanned rest day yesterday. Time just got away with the Christmas crap. Today I felt great with the lifts. A day late but still got it done.
Top
Last week, I skipped my twenty rep front squats, thinking my heavy single would be too much in the same week. I failed the twenty reps at 170 pounds this week not because of weight, but I pressed it too tightly against my neck.
Top
I couldn't be more thrilled with how my twenty rep back squats are going. I made it to bodyweight now for twenty reps. That's further along than I ever imagined I could do.
Top
I have been doing Street parking's twenty rep squat program. it looked interesting enough to try something different for squats. The worst part for me is the breathing.
