Today I squatted 315x41.. and won my gym's turkeysquat contest

[Matt Knappick]

Thats crazy huge amount of reps with that- I got 19 atg with 315 last week and nearly died.

I dont have a video yet, but will in a day or two.. but I did it for 41 and they were spotted by a top powerlifter to make sure they were below parallel. I think I had another 4-5 in me but a few things messed me up a bit with the warm up and I hit this random peg during one of my later squats, ruining my motion.



I know it is a fail with no video, but here are some pics:

I suck at bodybuilding.. I should just do this.

Awesome lift Brother! Crazy numbers! As to your quote.. if that's you in your avatar then you definitely DO NOT suck at bodybuilding. Keep up the great work!

Great job Matty.

I've seen a number of posts giving positive feedback on those three products used in combination. Good luck.

I hated going bald, but being bald is the best for me. I had, like, 82 cowlicks -- hair going in 12 different directions -- plus the hair was a thin, fly-away oily mess. :-/ Shaved heads FTW! lol

haha I am lucky the "buzz cut" is my best look when it comes to hair.

Nice job matty...and skip the fina..its not.gonna help much...i train with a competitive pwl'r some...when he does max effort etc squats....he stretchs alot first....back and leggs...then does 135 for 20-25...then he feels the wieght up a.plate at a time..so 225 x2...315x2...405x1...495x1..on and on...said he cant make big jumps cause he isnt warmed up enuff...dont know if that will help for the volume attempts...

Yup it would kill with oxygen. Thanks for the advice! I should have stretched more. It was pretty rushed through. I ended up doing 135x15, 225x12, 225x10. I am sure that is something I will begin to practice and try different things later on.

Thats crazy huge amount of reps with that- I got 19 atg with 315 last week and nearly died.

I felt like I was going to die too haha and laid down after. My blood pressure was definitely sky high for a good hour afterwards lol, but I ended the day with some leg extensions and curls and some cardio to keep the blood flowing. I am definitely feeling it now this morning though.

If it was a bit closer I'd definitely be there. New Jersey is about 7-8 hours away from me. I definitely wouldn't travel to compete though lol. My bench is pretty good, but 99.99% of the time I avoid flat benching and I definitely don't think I would be able to win because there are some freaks at bench especially.

I will say this, when I trained with Yersky(The pro doing it lol), Ive seen him incline 405x8 3-4 weeks out from a show like it was nothing. He will definitely be up there.

Good luck at Bros vs Pros! I will remember you.

Thanks Just waiting for the squat one! I know it takes a lot of effort and work to put one on, but I am more excited for a squat one than I would be a bodybuilding show!

Awesome lift Brother! Crazy numbers! As to your quote.. if that's you in your avatar then you definitely DO NOT suck at bodybuilding. Keep up the great work!

Thanks bro! Well, I won more last night(free supps) than I probably will win my whole bodybuilding career haha. Powerlifting is something I will always probably be much better at and could be elite level at if I trained for it, but I like bodybuilding a lot more currently even though I give myself about a 0-5% chance of ever being a pro.

Great job Matty.

Thank you sir! Congrats on being a new mod!

hahaha.. luckily I have been squatting for the last decade(that is crazy to think lol), so that has helped me

I think I can definitely do in the high 40s, maybe 50 with the right preparation in knee wraps. I am feeling the pain today though lol, so am not trying to think about those numbers for a bit haha.
