    I am getting back into a four week cycle after a month hiatus and was onto deadlifts last night. The platform I was on faced onto a squat rack and this young lad less than half my age and definitely a lot lighter than me was doing some squats. Nice,deep, great form squats. And then he kept loading the bar and doing more of them. He loaded up with the same amount of plates as some of my warm ups (90kg) and then bashed out a few, then added more... and more. Until he squatted 190kg for reps!! :eek: I was in awe. So much so that I failed my last set of deads and only managed the single from a set of three.

    Dear Fitness Forum Gurus - can I redeem anything from this experience?

    There were too many people around cheering him on.

    I was one of them!

    If he is in the same time next week ... load five plates each side ... pour a bottle of water over your head .. cover yourself in chalk and lean against the rack.

    When he comes over .. just mutter ... 10 set of five my arse .... I'm leaving it at 8 sets and I'll tell the coach I did the ten !! Then offer to strip the bar for him and groan with each plate you take off

    Are the squat rack and platform facing each other?? How awkward... nobody needs to see my strained lifting face that close up! 😕
