I honestly cant believe how hard this stuff is.
Most guys drink, smoke, take drugs, miss meals, stay up late, eat junk, not enough protein, too many processed carbs, yet worry about sets and reps.
Sets and reps have an importance rating of 1%. The effort you put in has 49% and your diet has 50%.
I've always stated that I judge someones intelligence by the questions he asks, not the answers he gives.

After reading the whole topic I wanted to quote this post because it is 100% correct, if the next morning after squatting you need a wheelchair to get to the bus stop because the DOMS are unbearable than what you are doing is correct.

I started this program in early January and have made some good gains. At 77kg BW I have reached 100kg BP pretty easily and am well on my way to 180kg DL, however, I am really struggling on the squat. Markos suggests 140kg squat as the bench mark for beginners to work too, right now I can squat 110kg to just below parallel for 1 rep and feel that 140kg is very long way off, or even unachievable, while the other lifts are progressing fine. Is there any reason why my squat might be disproportionate? Any advice in improving this?
