Nice!
Quick update on week 2 on The Cube System.
Last night was squat rep day. Looked like a joke on paper.
I left the gym devastated! The volume killed me.

Seriously? ????!!!!....might need to take a deeper look at that

I'll keep you updated and I'm just starting. But, I mean it was a total grind.
But the routine allows you to modify different accessory movements. And it's all % based which makes it kinda a pain.
I left the gym last night looking for a couch and pillow!
Haha.

 

[vinni]

Here is what killed me:

WU & foam roll
Squat: 315x8
Front squat 50 reps any way: 135x 15,20,15
Lunges w/ 35lb DBs. 2x20
Box jumps 15
Bent rows and good mornings super sets 3 x 10x 135
Crunch machine: 3 x 15
Treadmill 10 min.

BTW 605 is where I want my squat!
That is a sick bench at any weight class !

 

[GTFORMULA]

Definitely 605 is in a very high class of lifting. No matter how much you weigh.

Thanks...my squat is my weak point so I am sure you will surpass me by far brother....that quad tear killed me and I am gun shy as hell

Thanks much...tell ya what though....Some of these 300 lb PLs are rocking way more than that. ...not sure I could ever compete at that level without juicing my brains out and not sure ROI is there...but thanks appreciate it
