FML. I wanna do this!!!
Any “secrets”?? Lemme guess, he’s a rock solid core and upper back, does lots of band work and box squats?
What gear combo is that?[/quote]
He uses a Metal Ace Squat suit with Metal Pro briefs. His technique is the biggest key. He keeps his knees out very wide and it cuts down on the distance he has to sit back. He has a very thick waist and a very strong lower back. He has done good mornings with 600lbs. His quads are not that strong, but he has finally decided to fix that. His raw squats have been week, but he is working to correct that. His best squat is 926lbs.

Power pants, under single ply briefs, under multiply briefs, under a canvas suit with a rocket in his ass?

For the record, that’s a recycled jug full of pure dextrose.
I don’t want anyone to think Scoops has ever gotten a pump.

As I’ve been thinking about this thread I have come to a conclusion, how is going over the 900lb mark or the 1000lb mark any different than when you went over the 600, 700, or 800?
It’s just another weight, there is no magic way that you must train to break the 1000lb mark beyond what you are probably doing now.
I do train with 2 PLs that can do over 1000lbs and they don’t train any different than anyone else, just with heavier weights. If what you are doing is working than just keep on doing it, and don’t be affraid to experiment.[/quote]
That is true and that is the way I look at the weight, it’s all just a number, no reason to be intimidated. However my lifts were becoming very taxing on my body and was wondering if people had to change the way the trained because of extra fatigue brought on by the increase in lifting poundage. I think I have figured out a better plan though, I’m just going to continue with what I’ve been doing but just stretching my workout days out so I have more recovery time between heavy lifting days and adding in a higher frequency in deadlift work. Thanks for the help, knowing those guys didn’t change anything just helps me reconfirm my current thoughts. Also thanks to everyone for the compliments and great pulling Phil!

Hey this question is posed to all the 1,000 pound squatters here, or even the 900 pound squatters. My profile pic was taken the other day, it was a 891 reverse band squat single ply straps down with light to medium tension, the lift probably averaged 800-830. Anyway, my question is what did you due training wise to push your squat from the 800 or 900 mark to the 1000lb mark? Any tips or training logs would be appreciated. Thanks
Most peeps on here should take advice from you, not the other way around. By the way, what’s your advice on plateau breaking on squat/deads?[/quote]
I guess most of my advice is mental, you can’t assign a value to what you think is heavy, it’s just a number, you hinder yourself by thinking that you can’t do something because it is x number of pounds(within reason), you can’t think something is heavy(even though it very well may be). A lot of people I see where I train don’t think that way, they are to scared to add more weight because they think it’s to heavy or because THAT’S LIKE 275 POUNDS DUDE! THAT’S HEAVY. Those are also the same people that have made very little progress while I have trained there. I like doing reverse band work for squats because it gets me used to handling heavier weight, and I think that is one of the big things, just getting used to heavy weight on your back because it does feel different. And maybe some high rep squat work, using a parallel box and a safety bar really helped out my squat. As for the deadlift, not sure if you’ve tried some knee high or so rack pulls, but those could help and also really work the hamstrings and back for accessory work, most people are very weak especially in those two areas.
