I think the kick ass tunes and the purple and yellow color scheme make me that much MORE hardcore :D

Impressive, great depth!

[tjoe]

Never done a 1RM but 396 for 3 sets of 8.If you worked on some triples and got used to some heavier weight, you'd be good for 500 or so. Very nice!


Impressive, great depth!Thanks Scrubs! Thats what I did on Christmas Eve!

[The Beast]

I did 405x3 a few weeks ago. First time I've tried that much weight on squats. I've done 365x8 or 9 several times before. Do I have a shot at 500 this year?

Try to really push up those triples and every so often try a single. Don't go crazy though... try 20-25lbs over your best triple. AND work up to it easy... so don't do a hard triple and THEN try the single. Maybe every six weeks or so: bar x 10, 135 x 5, 225 x 5, 315 x 1, 385 x 1 and then maybe 425-430 x single. Adjust the weight as you get stronger obviously.

click on the little paperclip symbol and that should allow you to "browse" piks on your comp. then just open the one you want and wait for it to download. That should be it.

vid of 515lbs + 80lb blue bands @ top while training to hit 612lbs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEvgJoG6gGUNice squat bro! But can't you set the bands up a bit more in the middle of the rack? Not only is it scary to put back on the pins but while you are squatting the bands are pulling you "back". That might have an "odd" effect when doing a straight weight...

[iusealittle]

im on my way back up.... after not squating for about 9 months due to back and then a hamstring injury. this past thusrday after cardio i did 585 raw for a single..........

use.

[buckimscl]

455 for 6. No wraps just a belt.

[tjoe]

I see some great numbers here guys. Nice work!

I would love to see some more videos though. (goes for all threads regarding big lifts)
Don't care if they are in a meet, the gym, your back yard, raw, suited, shirted, whatever! Reading about big numbers is cool but seeing them is much better. Better motivation for training. Better to see the form. Just better.

MORE vids!

[Sandpig]

405 with wraps, about 25 years ago.

Now, about 275

[tjoe]

Lol... thanks Brian!

[Big Sky Guy]

455 at 225. Getting better day by day.

[HeavyDutyGuy]

I don't do max squats, but my last workout I repped 600 for 6 to parallel, my best so far. I put 600, because I don't know if I want to put 700 on my spine at age 48 even if I get strong enough to try it.. I did do partials with 800, but not in while.

[ChunkyThunder]

I never maxed out but I've done 405 for a triple before

[Ryan Bracewell]

My best squat of all time was a 700lb box squat with the safety squat bar. I did 675x2 the following week with regular bar and no box. Both at a weight around 290 using inzer knee slees, DL suit bottoms, and belt.
