Both of them are hoping to stay relatively static and recomp the bodyweight they currently carry. So far, so good. Both report increased muscle mass and definition, and clothes fitting differently in good ways.

Hey Geoff,
Just curious, when you don't count a squat, is it because of depth?
Bill
Bill: Yeah, depth is the primary issue. If a lifter who is anatomically capable of hitting depth fails to hit depth, I won't count a rep.
In a set of 5, I'll go the 50% rule: If 3 reps are good, and 2 are slightly high, I'll count the set but make it known that there's a deficiency.
