I am in, just barely, but in. Hit 145kg tonight, 319.6, so I have a long ways to go. Hopefully hitting it by October, thats the goal at least!
I hit 335x3 and 355x1 recently @ 175 I’ll be there soon enough
Ever since i started having some wierd problems with my right leg (posterior knee pain and constantly irritated groin area ) i took it easy on the squatting a bit, so my leg strength has gone down some, and my deadlift also feels a bit heavier than it did.
I’ve since modified my squatting a bit where before i was barefoot and squatting as deep as possible now i am using some shoes (with heel elevation) and squatting exactly to parallel.
So my more important lifts have gone down a bit but I HAVE gained some strength on overhead presses and pullup variations in the meantime.
I’m in. I’m on Texas Method, 325lb squat, 155lb bodyweight
Got it! Skip to 0:30
I’m competing this summer in the 165 weight class.
I maxed on Friday after doing the base mesophase of Smolov. I loved this program; it felt amazing to see such fast improvement.
^ Congrats to above, depth was awesome and that’s very strong at that sort of weight…
I’ll join this race. I’ve only seriously started back squatting this year and a big single is my main goal for 2012.
December '11 max was 140kg / 308lbs.
Latest rep max 132.5kg / 293lb x 8.
I’ll work up to a single this cycle and see where I’m at =).
Running full body 5/3/1
Hit 160kg tonight, 352, progressing quickly! Was planning on hitting 165 by the end of June but I am going to hit it by the end of April and going to try and get 400 by the end of June instead. Squatting ftw
Hit 335 today… Long way to go.
Just hit 3rd attempt 429 in a meet on 4/22. 2nd attempt was only 402. Been back into powerlifting for the past year or so after a long hiatus. I’ll be 50 in September.
My 365 form was better.
I finished Smolov base was doing the two max days in a row. I did two sets yesterday though. 360x1 365x1 and then 370 today.
I’ll join. Best was 340 two weeks ago. Sorry, no video on that one.
Got 355 like 2 weeks ago
I’ve only trained since February, so I’m kind of a newb ,but I will join the race. I’m at around 245-265 now, not sure exactly where. Will be continuing Reg Parks 5x5 for squats for just a few more weeks, then swapping off to Madcows.
: )
I just hit squats the other day, 3x1 with 385, the third one was actually challenging. My next meet is June 23rd, I’m excited as hell, since I got sick before my last meet and bombed out with a 385 opener squat, which is my competiton pr.
Hit a 370 lb. paused squat for an easy single last week. I’m hoping to squat 405 in my meet on July 28.
CS
