I was still nasueas from the squats and had to lay down after these sets. A medic that was lifting at the time came to check on me, lol.

I was going to do calfs but I couldn't think straight anymore so I wen't home and pounded gatorade.

After the first set of 20 I was winded but was able to shake it off. After the second set I was in hell. My lungs on fire and my legs burning. After the third set of 20 I collapsed and shook for awhile, my eyes starting to roll in the back of my head. For some reason I didn't vomit and I wish I did.

Holy **** sticks.

That's what I mean. When I do one set of 20 after my regular work sets (usually 5) for a couple workouts in a row, I usually don't feel like doing it again for a couple weeks! It's HARD F-ing work! And, that's just one set!

So how do you feel today?

I'm sore but other than that I feel ok. I'll try the 100 rep squat routine again in a few months but I'll probably need to lower the weight.

Just over 50kg on BB curls after a session like that is pretty impressive. Especially if your form is as good as I think it'd be.
