Fooling Around with 135 for Reps
So, I recently saw a short video by @BattleBunker where they were challenging people to squat with 135 for a dollar per rep. A guy who was either 53 or 54, wearing work clothes, stepped in and managed 23 reps. Many of the comments made it sound like it was amazing someone that old could do many reps, even if they were questionable depth. And many comments mentioned the work clothes, as if that's a big handicap.
Since I'm a couple of years older than the guy in the short (practically ready for a retirement home), naturally I couldn't resist testing it out when I got home from work. To make it more comparable, after I parked my Jeep in the barn I just headed for the squat rack in my slacks, polo shirt, and "tactical" boots. I did take keys and pocketknife out of my pockets, but did the set cold with zero warmup. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be straight reps or a rest-pause style, so I did a near-maximal straight set of reps, then limited myself to only one additional cluster after a pause.
Because I've fairly recently managed over 50 rest-pause reps with 185, I'm certain I could do quite a bit more than that with 135 before racking the bar, but who wants to sit through that? I think it's obvious that 56 years old isn't completely over the hill. And, if I ever run into a challenge like that on the street, I could pick up a decent amount of gas money!
