Many strength routines have people squat 3 times a week...
Hell, Smolov makes you squat 4-5 times a week.

It's nothing unusual.

**FROGGBUSTER** · 11-30-2008, 02:11 PM

routine looks good, frank yang did something similar and added 40lbs to his max squat in 8 weeks.

squatting very frequently makes my squat go up very quickly, so it must be done. also i'm taking my stance out and need to work on it

wider stance will help u alot... just make sure u do support ham exercises!

**JiP** · 12-03-2008, 01:59 PM

my motorbike got stolen and set on fire so i'll be doing a lot of cardio now. i guess that means i can eat more though. nom nom nom.

and lifeman what would you suggest for someone with fairly limited equipment? i have a power rack, bench and barbells

**piszczel** · 12-03-2008, 02:15 PM

Lolz. Unlucky brah. This is England after all.

I walk to the gym and back, takes me 20 minutes one way. It's not bad, I haven't done a minute of "real" cardio in months and I'm staying lean, eating ****, so it's not all that bad

When's your next workout brah?

**JiP** · 12-03-2008, 02:52 PM

i'm lifting tomorrow, didn't get a lot of sleep past 2 days so i thought i'd leave it.

Why aren't you ramping up weight bra?

3+ sets with the same weight is hardly effective for strength gains...

5x5 works great for me, ramping never seems to get me anywhere. the weights look ****ty at the minute cos im deloading

**Widge** · 12-04-2008, 04:42 PM

subbed, looking good, your max's are strong.

im stalling pretty bad atm, sux2beme

**JiP** · 12-06-2008, 12:35 PM

felt like **** all day so getting my session done tomorrow. had a pretty spread out week but it's all good

**JiP** · 12-07-2008, 03:22 AM

i've developed too many ****ty habits on my squat so am going to use the starting strength template on it for a little while to get my form solid.

**JiP** · 12-08-2008, 08:35 AM

cycling
40 mins 8 miles
break
40 mins 8 miles

lots of squat videos going to be made tonight

**.Goku.** · 12-08-2008, 02:06 PM

lets do some work.

**JiP** · 12-08-2008, 02:08 PM

Squats
50kg x 5
60kg x 5 x 2
70kg x 5
80kg x 5
85kg x 5 x 3

Bench
71kg x 5 x 6

Pull Ups
BW x 8 x 4

Sit Ups
20kg x 8 x 3

Notes
with the wider form i can feel my hips and everything else working a lot more. i'm hoping with the change it'll entitle me to some newb gains and i'll put on a lot of weight quickly. the form looked pretty solid to me, hopefully i can keep it good and in a few months i'll be getting over 300 for reps. we'll see.

i can't stop watching videos of guys squat on youtube, i was starting to think i just wasn't built for it then i watched a few vids of Ed Coan and realised that doesn't mean ****. his squat looks pretty awkward and his numbers are insane

**piszczel** · 12-08-2008, 02:36 PM

Good form there.

**Lencho** · 12-08-2008, 02:37 PM

Lookin' gheyer than evar!
