Check out this guy, I was impressed, look at his videos of the 200kg 20 rep squats[/quote]

I am that guy :slight_smile:
Yeah it doesnt look like 200kg, as a bad angle, but it def is 4.5 20kg plates/side

This clip was about 2yrs old, and some of the reps are shamefully shallow,esp at the start. This set was done cold, as I never did warm ups as saw them as a waste of energy. But back then I was squatting 250+kg for reps. I was 91kg back then

I just posted a clip of 170kgx25(374lb)which is dbl bodyweight for me done last week. Currently 85kg as just competed a few weeks back.

I did 140kg/300lb for 50reps two weeks ago as well, vid is on my profile too…that was hard

This is drug free as well, just 14years of training.

I’ll do a 20rep on 405 this week and post it up.

Yeah it doesnt look like 200kg, as the video was filmed in 16:3 widescreen, and youtube is 4:3, so it stretches it vertically,and a bad angle too. But it def is 4 1/2 plates a side.

Here’s another vid of a natural guy doing rep squats (not quite 405x20):

kannibal777 you F’Stong Aussie,

Impressive performance indeed. I look forward to your video post of 405 x 20. The sqatting clinic you’ve put on has inspired me to move bigger weights. What do they feed you down there?

How about a little break down of your routine for us RAW guys? So that we too can get stronger than 99.5% of WalMart shoppers.

Lift strong and prosper,

Thanks TKO,
I have always focused on squatting over everything else. I cant leg press without getting a terrible headache, and hate hack squats.

I have found my best progress (strength wise) from frequent squatting with a low volume.
Several years ago I had plateaued on a 240kg 1RM for well in excess of 18 months.
I started squatting every 2nd day, with just two sets, one set of 2-3 reps, and one set of 6-8.
What this did was accustom me to having the heavy weight on my back, so it was no longer intimidating to have heavy weight on my back. There was enough volume to over-train, but over a month or so, very heavy weight became much less of a mental challenge.

This helped get my max weight from 240kg 1RM, to a 260 4RM in around six months.

Nowadays I don’t squat near that heavy, as I found I never really developed any size from heavy leg work, so have, this year started bumping up the volume.

My current (last two weeks) leg workout is as follows:

Set 1: Squats, High reps (20-50)

Sets 2-4: Squats, med reps, 10-15

Sets 5-7: Split squats with barbell, 8-10 reps per leg

Sets 8-12: Good Mornings, 6-10 reps

Sets 13-16: Reverse Hypers, 6-10 reps

Sets 17-18: Lunge walking, approx 50-60 strides per set, with 20kg dumbells

Sets 19-20: Seated Leg Curl 6-10 reps, holding peak contraction for 2 secs.

I try to keep the rest periods 90 secs or less, and reasonably explosive concentric movements. I no longer train to failure, maybe 1-2reps short, as have found that my overall training volume drops too much if I take every set to failure. I used to ALWAYS train to failure, but didn’t find any additional benefit.

It takes me about 45mins to get thru the above, and I try to hit it every 4-5days min.

I do seem to have a very fast recovery rate though, I never get sore, and my strength seems to drop if I don’t train each bodypart at least every five days, as opposed to friends who can take two weeks off and come back stronger.

Pretty much anybody could have easily done that if they used time lapse photography and fake plates like that guy.

edit: not to mention all the steroids

If you’re being serious, fuck off.

I actually found it hilarious. It was commented on the thread a few posts behind.

Ah, should have read the entire thread. colin1168, I apologize.[/quote]

haha my bad forgot the “:^)”
