you feel you’re making as good of gains doing DC as you were doing a more traditional powerlifting style program?

I want a 600pound squat!

I would imagine Hanley’s using “teh sarcasism”

You imagine wrong, belive it or not!

Hahaha it’s the 10kg of weight gain, stronger abs and stronger quads/hammy’s that’s driving my squat at the moment!

I’d like to do 600 in just knee wraps this year tho. I reckon I’m around 550 at the moment.[/quote]

550 in knee wraps, or totally unequipped?

You still a 100kg guy, or are you competing 110 now?[/quote]

550 in knee wraps at the moment… Did 500x3 last time. Hoping for 5 when I do it again next week!

I’m 108kg at the moment. Still trying to gain a bit more and fill out the 110’s!!

I did 230x3 b/w easy as pie at 93kg last night with 3 or more reps left, get on that Hanley! You’ve only got a few years until our squat off

I hit a PR today, 440lbs deep and RAW (No straps, suit, wraps etc) @ 217 lbs ish. Felt good.

Hopefully 500lbs RAW within 6 months and then 550-600 with Gear before August.

Ambitious? Yes. Impossible? Hopefully not.

46

I’m looking to hit 600+ at my meet at the end of Feb. Single ply gear though. I haven’t squatted more than 315 raw in a long time.

I’m hoping to hit 600 really really raw by the summer. (that’s no belt, no wraps, no suit)

I’m at ~575 now. Gotta fix this tendency to fall foward coming out the hole, happens when I get above ~520.
been workig with SS bar, also driving back of the neck into the bar when coming up.[/quote]

I’m at 573, damn kg conversion. Want to see who can get to 600 the quickest? We are neck and neck.

When did you get 575? I hit mine the first week of 09’.

I currently at a raw high bar atg squat (no belt, no knee wraps) of 507lbs. The bodyweight is 246lbs. I have previously competed in some IPF meets, but recently I have developed a total distaste for the equipment, so I only lift raw.

For me, the journey is the goal, and altough it is fun to be strong, I don’t think I love the lifting anything less when I did a 130kg squat than I do now with 100kg more. For me it is a lifestyle. I work very hard, and over time it will give results. Keep on hitting the iron hard brothers!

PS: This is no bashing of the gear-lovers. It is just that I have found what’s right for me. We all have our thing, right?

49

Bumping for updates. I need some motivation to get out of this “my job sucks and i need sleep” funk.

50

Hit 585 100% raw last spring at 250 lbs, so I’m shooting to break 600 raw this year.

51

I got 605lbs last Monday in my Briefts.

52

easy 620 with just briefs and safety bar(ss yoke bar), 580 with just knee wraps but with safety bar, both to a parallel box. pretty sure if i go just down and up with no box and barbell i’ll be over 600, need to max out soon though and see where i am at. going to attempt 800 equipped in a few weeks and maybe 600 something unequipped. 187bw, 181 weight class.

53

Several weeks back I squatted 606 in belt/wraps. (It was more like a 600 lb good morning- got way bent over) I figured I could, I just never really tried a 600 lb raw squat before. I usually put on briefs at 400-500.

I got a quick question for you guys. If you guys hit 600lbs and that becomes a new pr for you. How long do you guys deload afterwards? Only reason i ask is because i just started maximal effort and staying in between the 1-3 rep ranges and i’ve just hit a new pr of 485 1 rep max. But i dont know if i should deload or keep training heavy. What kind of things do you guys do after a new pr?

is it safe to assume that NO ONE in here squatting 500+ is using jim weider 5/3/1? if this is true im going to switch to sheiko in a second

58

Ok, that had the opposite effect on my ego. I feel like I am surrounded my a bunch of a-holes, because I can’t keep up. Yes, I am a whiny puss and I am so f-ing jealous.

On a serious note: any of you guys have vids, post 'em up or post the link. I can’t surround myself with strong guys at my gym, cause there are none. So, I have to rely on strong guys on the inter-webz.

Well I’m getting ready for a meet…so I’m not really going to deload anytime soon.

Hanley was doing 5/3/1, idk if he still is, and Jim Wendler himself I am almost certain squats over 500, and follows that kind of training method.
