ME squat
decided to test the ol’ squat tonight in my briefs and knee wraps. I set up in the power rack and set the pins at about 2-3 inches below parallel.
full squat
0x10
135x5
225x3
315x2
405x2
495x1
put briefs on
585x1
put knee wraps on (loose)
675x1
tightened up the wraps and put on wrist wraps for good measure
710x1 - after I finished this set my training partner told me I had plenty left in me- no sticking point
495x6 paused at bottom for count of 3 in the raw
good mornings
135x6
225x6
315x6
365x4
405x4
calves- just so I don’t look stupid with my thunder thighs.
Great keep training hard bro and get that head above water

Guys, real quick…sorry I havent been on here in a while…if and when i am in front of a compouter i am doing a stupid amount of homework…so my logs will stay in my book, at least for a while.
I started a new job as a graduate assistant strength coach at kent state, am taking 2 summer classes in a 3 week session, and my own training, so my life is a nightmare. I am so pressed for time that all i wanted to say was that if anyone is actually interested in how I did at apf junior nationals up in maine (the meet I was training for), shoot me a private message and i will see it in my email and reply back.
Also, if ANYONE, EVER, has any questions for me, please PM me and I will get them in my email. I love helping people, but I just dont have the time to get on here that much anymore…
Are they allowing the briefs etc in the fed you lift??
Keep it up’

now having had over 700lbs on my back i can say that your squat is just silly
Overhead Press from the bottom
115x5
135x5
145x5
150x5
155x…4 (crap again)
1-arm DB row unsupported
75x5
90x5
100x5
115x5
135x5
Various fartings-about with arm exercises:
Front Scraper dumbell curls
OH tri-ex (both these right arm only)
25,30,35,40,45 (50 only on curl) x 5
1 arm DB upright row (really more of an unracked clean)
100x6,6
Took some time out from lifting to catch up on work backlog. Diet’s been big zeros for the days and can’t pork out enough at night. Better planning is called for.
As far as the 5x5’s go, I prob needed to start with lower weight and make bigger jumps. Too many lifts with weight too close to final set’s.

Maybe the two are related…I find that I’m not getting enough calories during 5x5 everything suffers. But I do all 5 sets at the same weight, so just figure out what works best for you.
I’d try the same weights next week and just grind out that 5 rep on the 5th set, then bump the weight the following week. There is nothing wrong with failing on the 5th rep of your last set…that means the weight was almost perfect.

I’m ready to go now, I’m not sure I can wait until Saturday, I’m about ready to pop.
Gotta eat just enough to be fully recovered and not to bump up to the big boys weight class! LOL
Good Luck Saturday and don’t ‘pop’ til your first lift!
And good luck weighing in.
spit lots on the way there.

Thanks c., I’m waiting, it just isn’t easy.
The good news is that I’ve been weighing in with shorts, t-shirt and shoes on, so I’ve got a couple pound buffer if I need it. I’ll weigh in again on Friday to see where I’m at. The bad news, of course, is that I have no idea how my gyms scale will compare to the one at the meet.
I wouldn’t want to be the car behind me with all that spitting going on!

no they aren’t allowed. I just wanted to see how much I could put up with them. Also the heavy weight makes my true raw weight feel light. I think I could have hit, maybe 735 last night. It felt good. I can see why people like gear.

Thanks man!! I tell everyone that comments on the weight that I lift, that it is just a #. I used to look at heavy weight and say there’s no way. Once I decided to just look at it as a different # than before, I’ve made awesome gains. The sky is the limit. I always keep it safe and try to limit the risk of injury. I either lift it or not, either way- there’s no fear.

yeah, you don’t want to rock back and forth. sit back into it. each rep you should be trying to sit back further and further. really strain and stretch. coming off the box- force those knees out, arch and explode!!
I think i told you about pushing out with the elbows… that will keep the arch and the weight centered. It’s okay to get a little forward movement off the box, just don’t get in the habit of rocking back and then forward to get moving.
Best thread on the site…
couldn’t resist

To add here and agree sit back them coming off lead with the head dont let your hips out rise your head Instead keep head HIGH spread those knees and drive the hips Forward through. this will rise you and the load up and keep you more on a flat foot and heels

On the fat bastard scale, i rate it as slightly nauseous. It will be sick when i hit 800.

Hey Meat one of my short term goals is to squat half as much as you! Nice work.[/quote]
just keep it as a short term goal. I remember when squatting 225 was a huge goal of mine. it’s all about moving forward and knowing what works for you. plus eating like a horse.

Oh no it is short term, I will squat 350-360 shortly…
225 was also a goal of mine, I think less than a year ago…
I tried eating like a horse but its hard to replace steak with grass. I think the real key is eating whole horses.
