Those are really good old school Soviet squat stands, a gym I used to train at that was also a gym during the Soviet times has one of those and its a pleasure to work with, a lot better than many more modern squat stands. I´m not sure if they make those anymore though, you might be able to find some second hand stuff in Eastern Europe/former Soviet countries.

in 4 years im sure that will be standard at the rate these guys are going lol

why not, and i am trying to get back to walking around at 160. im more like 170 right now. ive hit all my best lifts at 160-163ish though. prolly gonna be a month before i can be a consistent lifter again. busy rehabbing my new house right now

this

I meant cutting from 163-140's. Probably a month before I can jerk without any pain in my wrist.

start fapping with wrist wraps for support

[ftwrestler]

^^your squat numbers should say different I think.



My squats are so weak after getting back into things from that back injury.

**** this gay earth. I FUKCING hate set backs where your numbers go down. Biggest discouragement for me. Gonna do Texas linear to get back

like i should be more?

right now i am prolly squatting 160 max. my inconstant lifting in the gym is killing me

I was bored and reading the London 2012 94 kg page, apparently Ivanov was disqualified for weighing in at 94.5 kg? I thought he had some knee problem or some ****, at least ostensibly.

[izzygrant]

I'm in my 3rd year of med school, hoping to specialize in physical med & rehab in a couple years.

U wot.

Did you graduate college at 20-21?

Nvm Canada.

Uh, this isn't normal for Canada either... are you a child prodigy?

rofl


My body is telling me I'm going to need some knee support to keep doing these lifts, guys. Ace bandage wraps or straight to something heavier duty? Are you all eleiko whores on the wraps too?

[matjusm]

Has anyone here experimented with rack walkouts (loading up a bar with weights above your max and simply feeling the weight on your back/front) in preparation for heavier squats? Have you found them useful?

[jb4476]

Uh, this isn't normal for Canada either... are you a child prodigy?

Yeah, I was never clear on this either. Did you skip a grade or two DaTruth? I'll graduate with my bachelors degree this June, a month after my 22nd birthday.

yea this ******* i train with did them before a back squat PR once.

[Reidy]

Pretty sure half the posters in here are child prodigies. I think the entire poverty crew will be earning degrees from some of California's most esteemed institutions, pretty sure ftwrestler is retired comfortably at 24 (married and seemingly lifts all day long at various gyms, do you even work?), and DaTruth is like 17 with an M.D.

[Reidy]

In other news, I'm making some resolutions for 2013:

- Buy my first home
- Clean up my diet (lots of meat + veggies + fruits + sweet potatoes + a little dairy + nothing else), coinciding with not spending $30 per day on food
- Quit drinking for January and February to see what effect, if any this has on my gains and my wallet
- Clean and Jerk 130 kg
- Snatch 100 kg
- Back Squat 200 kg
- Front Squat 170 kg
- Deadlift 250 kg
- Press my bodyweight

Actually I found Ace bandages are way better then wraps, less bulk + you can wrap them tighter. And if my knees are feeling like **** I can even throw my Rehbands on top of them.

I wonder who... lol and excuse you it was a double PR
works like a charm

Oops -- played a season of minor league ball with a guy who pitched at Fullerton, pretty sure he had trouble spelling his own name. The rest of your crew go to pretty good schools though, no? Didn't my man Obama go to Oxy? And I'm pretty sure CalTech students have the highest average IQ of any university in the world.

not srs
I did a 3 year degree in comp sci and then started med school when I was 20. Also, I have a late bday.

[LudiWithKnives]

TFW you finally search up what TFW means because datruth keeps using TFW

Has anyone here experimented with rack walkouts (loading up a bar with weights above your max and simply feeling the weight on your back/front) in preparation for heavier squats? Have you found them useful?

i usually do them from the front in order to get used to holding the weight before a jerk but its part of me doing jerk drives which is also to help for the jerk. i used to do them for back squats when i was powerlifting to get used to the weight.

i prep my front squat maxes by doing my current max or more as a back squat for reps and speed. this only works because my current back squat form is very quad based like my front squat. i try not to have my ass shoot out is what i mean

[matjusm]

Stumbled upon this video of possibly the worst clean I´ve ever seen:

Do you even front squat, bro?

[ftwrestler]

Damn after that 120x20 I assumed it was a lot more.

you dun goofed. im very good at grinding out multiple reps. probably a wrestling thing.

on a good day i am sure i am good for 170+, but i dont lift consistently enough to hit that number right now

210 BS / 165 FS with 135 C&J checking in, my coach is unamused.

i can squat jerk 130, but some times i have trouble front squatting it crew checking in




today work out so far

pinned half squats: worked to 210kg for 5 triples

snatches : 5x3 working up my last triple of 89kg

CnJ 4x3 1x2: working to 100kg on my last triple, 105kg on my last double

front squats: 5x2 speed doubles @ 110-120

paused front squats @ 4 singles working to 120 for 2 singles

planning to go back for some back squating, power variations, and heavy pulls

[jb4476]

That's not so bad, it just means you're channeling Chinese squat jerk efficiency. Some of them can close grip OHS out the rack more than they FS.

130 squat jerk is ridiculous, though. GJDM.
