Road To a 400lb Squat

My first goal is to do 315…so 400 is a ways off. But I’d like to follow suit with you guys and work towards getting there quickly and safely.

I’ll get in on this. Previous bests are a 335 free squat and 365 box squat at ~175 lbs.

I appreciate it… Just wished I could of gotten 350

345 for a triple yesterday, good depth on my single day of 5/3/1. Felt good. Next single day will be 355(in 4 weeks).

Doing smolov with a max of 320… hopefully that will bring me closer to a 400lb Skwat

Oh cool. A thread I can post in. My best so far was 385x2 for possibly questionable depth. As it stands right now I can get a deep 365x1 on any given day at approximately 180. I’d like to finish the summer with a >405 squat, so… we’ll see what happens.

DouglasJ16, I need an update from you. Where is your squat (raw or otherwise) now?

Did my 1st meet last sat and was about 3/4 through my squat and then I started to fallback…has never ever happend before. I was so pissed at my self, I have another meet next sat and Im going to open with 365 and go right to 400 insted of 365,385,400.

I watched it twice to see what I did wrong and deleted it…still pisses me off to think about it

Just hit a 355x1 last weekend, and pretty sure I had enough in the tank for 365. Id be interested to see if I can get 405 before the year is out

figured i would get in on this since i already have the “road for 405 deadlift”

I have been only been squating since march(been lifting for 2 years in august)…

I weigh more than most people doing this “road” (225)

I started at a 275x1 in march… two weeks ago i did 350x4(est.1RM:380)… so i should break this in 2-6 weeks…

glad to get in on this with you guys

Got it last Saturday :slight_smile:

Did it twice for good measure? (i.e. didn’t get the first one on tape)

I’m in. 345 at the moment, tested on Monday. This is by far my worst lift because of how long my legs are. I want it bad before spring.

count me in, current competition best is 303/137.5kg, going for 424/192.5kg by next may.

Good luck with Smolov. It is tough but worth it. Don’t be afraid to gain a little weight and get all the sleep you can get.

Double BW PR!

Ok, I don’t do these very often cause they serve no real purpose, but the guys in the gym are always trying to get me to do stupid shit.

whats the weight johnnytang?

396lbs BW probably around 195

In.

I am going to start madcow so I will practice my form with olympic shoes. Expecting to easily do 325x5 in around 8 weeks from now! I will probably deadlift 500 by then too!
