The MilkMan Delivers: Beyond

50 reps? Maybe if I get myself down to 60kg by that point! Good luck with yours, and happy birthday!

Thanks mate, Happy Birthday to you too!

I don't remember in which article/book he mentioned it, but it seemed to be an excruciating experience.
 
Thanks for the birthday wishes @btwrestler119 @belph @frystyle @KotovSyndrome @Flash_Monsta @KidAlchemy @Thunderhead @rikwebb @fbmmofo

Just curious, did you get any of the same kind of head pain/cramp (maybe less extreme, just pressure/discomfort) feeling after that set of 27 squats?

No, that was more of a dizziness / light headedness. Today was like I had pulled a muscle in my head, weird.
 
The reason why I was asking is I've had that extreme head pain cramp before, a number of times. It is an exertion headache and it has something to do with straining the muscle that connect to the base of your skull. It usually happens to me during long intense sets of squats (like 20 rep squats or conditioning challenges). It tends to come back anytime you lift anything heavy enough to get the blood pressure up for the next couple weeks.

Interesting, it does sound very similar, will see what happens.

Beltless and forgot chalk. Bar was slippery / hands were sweaty so just stuck to singles on the jokers.

Quite a surprise. I'm guessing the Nando's chicken, cookie dough sundae, and lamb spinach curry with keema rice and keema naan from yesterday contributed to this.

Just come off the last of my 12 hour nightshifts and, as usual, my knees are in pain, so squatting was pretty horrible from the get go. I should be coming off the long shifts this year so hopefully that improves the knee situation.
