I remember when I started out. Acquiring mastery of each additional plate became its own adventure and accomplishment.
I started with a 45# bar.
Hit 135#;
. You's a bytch.
Hit 225#;
. Better but still a hoe.
Hit 315#;
. Yo ass getting there (literally).
Hit 405#;
. That's what I thought bytch-ass nikka.
Hit 495#;
. Not signing autographs til 3.
(at like my 3 year mark)
My current goal is to hit 545# before the year is over. I got this.
And I don't wanna hear nothin bout no knees.
Nikkas can hoop, stomp the yard in Timbs, dance, B or C walk, and do all this other shyt til leg day comes 'round, then they on some
shyt.
I had chronic knee pain until I started squatting heavy. Now my knees skrong.
PSA: Squatting doesn't mess up your knees; but exercising with improper form can.
Maybe its just me but I've never hit a number and just been like "kewl, let's stay here." I've always kept growing, always stayed learning, always stayed hungry.
