No way what?

You mean that i’m actually already a lot stronger and a lot bigger, than 90% of the people who want to come in here and give me this shit?

Hell I just go and browse squatting vids on youtube and most people are not even hitting the depth I hit on 3 of those six reps…

Just saw some vids of brandon curry doing 4 plates a side no deeper than I did… and this vid of lee priest when he was younger

not even going as deep as I did, and the guy is 5ft4/5ft5, right?

Honestly…

I can front squat 400 ass to grass. Ill get a vid of that.

Seriously it’s all of the posters here who have nothing to show who talk the most shit.

Bottom line is after two months and one week

I weigh 237lbs at 6ft1

I bench 350
Deadlift well over 500
and squat 400 for 6… and now i’ve seen the depth i’m sure I can make that a deep 400 for 6

plus i’ve already got my arms up to 19 inches…

and yet IM A TROLL

how about you all post your vids and shit?

I bet some of you (other than the ones who have pics e.t.c ) like PX/MM/AB/Waylander e.t.c aren’t even benching the fucking bar… like half the people I see in the gym… but just want to post shit.

How many times do I have to agree my depth isn’t what I thought it was?

But you know what? That 400 was still light and stable as fuck, even if they were not deep reps… ill hit 400x6 for deep reps in no time at all… even though it’s against my natural biomechanics.[/quote]

Dude youre dumb. Thats a horrible video to compare yourself to. Do you see where his feet are??? He’s doing the squats like that purposely to develop the outer sweep of his quads. His feet are about 4" apart. Jesus christ YOU ARE A FUCKING NEWB. Thhats not suppoesed to be an insult. Just an explanation for why you dont need to try and defend your knowledge. Because you cant yet. You dont know enough to knmow why Lee Priest looked funky while he was squatting. You dont know what youre talkinga bout. Not everyone blasting you is smaller or weaker than you.

Just wanted to add, those are not “5 Plates” 5 plates is 495 pounds, Priest doesn’t have that on the bar, that’s not even an olympic bar…Just saying.

Sick squat video ebomb, keep up the good work!

did u count how many that was asked the squatter, 10 replied the cameraman, even though it was 8 at that point lol good work dude.

So is it widely accepted that this guy’s a troll yet? He claims a 5-hundo dead with a vid that doesn’t add up to 5-hundo, claims to have put 70lbs on his bench in a week but then says it was really 25, claims to squat 4 plates to parallel but puts up a vid of a 3 plate quarter squat then claims that one of those reps hit the safety bars when he was at least 10" away from the bars on all reps and claims to eat an entire chocolate cake post workout and have been lifting for only 2 months and people are buying this?

Awesome, will copy that soon :slight_smile:

Don’t know why I pissed people off with it so much anyway, I only have to drop a couple more inches on a few of the reps.

Still I probably shouldn’t say that, it will get another 100 responses.[/quote]

I hope you do man!
I think you should just try and dropping your squat down a few inches, they do make a pretty big difference, both in how hard the exercise is, but more importantly in the activation you get in your muscles. Just a thought.

Maybe… but you also stay pretty humble compared to other guys on this site. You know what you’ve done. OP could learn a thing or seven from seeing your 405 x 17 vid, not that I’d expect you to post it here.[/quote]

Allright, here’s the youtube link.

OP, you can use this as another example of squat depth. [/quote]

you are thinking of a couple inches as a distance, when really think of it as avoiding the sticking point.

think of the top end of a bench press, you can do a lot more than full ROM but if you drop even a couple inches below that, you now have the added difficulty of not only moving the bar further but you also have that sticking point (for a lot of lifters it is the midpoint). this can make a huge difference.

from watching the vid, you hit parallel on maybe one rep. which is fine, honestly, who cares. but the connotation of your post is that hitting or breaking parallel wont effect your performance that much, but i bet it will.

Since we’re trying to drag this thread out…

I just looked at my squat video and my depth puts my butt at about 5 inches from the ground. Is there any reason I shouldn’t go that deep? My weakness isn’t coming out of the hole but coming up from parallel.

I was thinking the same thing. Imageine being the lucky guy or lady that gets to spot her when she squats. I think I would sacrifice one of my nuts to be that guy or lady haha.

If you’re going for the latter option you’d have to sacrifice both of 'em.

LOL that’s true but looking at her avatar I would probably consider that too.

Deep squats are awesome if you can pull em off, and as long as you don’t have any pain or discomfort doing them, then keep doing them!

Also, sticking point can change depending on your depth, and when going that deep most people get stuck from parallel up, so I’d say there isn’t anything wrong with your squat.

to everyone who is trying to get this thread to 40 pages…

STOP AIMING SO LOW!!!

let’s get this thread to 100 pages lol =)

Okay was just looking at published programs but none of them were offering enough volume. I have no trouble recovering and doing many many sets, so might as well use this ability. So though i’d design my own three way:

Chest/shoulder/arms
Legs
Back/arms

split, with six sessions per week performing each session twice. My training session tonight will look like this: It’s about 50 sets and will take me an hour and a half or so:

Workout A) Chest / Shoulders/ Arms
A) Flat Bench Press
3 reps — working up to the maximum weight where the bar speed slows down…
ala “the perfect rep” that i’ve just seen on the “I bodybuilder program” on here whilst I was browsing around
B) Standing Overhead Press
---- Using the same perfect rep principle
C) HS Incline Bench Machine
---- Using same perfect rep principle
D) Dumbell Front raises
4 x 10 - 15
E) Shoulder Rear delt Plate loaded machine
4 x 20 reps
F) Pec-Dec
4 x 20 reps +
Arms ----
G) Barbell Curl using perfect rep principle
H) Alternating Hammer Curls 4 x 10-12 reps each side
I) Skull Cruchers 4 x 10-12 Reps
J) Tricep Pushdowns 4 x10-12 reps
K) Machine Preacher Curls using perfect rep method
L) Flat Barbell Wrist Curls. 4x 10-12

later.[/quote]

Stop pre-designing routines further than a split/rough rep guideline immediately would be my advice.

we need a picture of the OP with a shoe!

Fatty, I knew there was a reason that I liked you. Castlevania SotN for the win.

And E-Bomb, I didn’t want to put you on spot but I figured in light of all the squat controversy in the thread, and apparently people thinking you’re a noob (?!), it’d be a good thing to throw up there.
