Ya, I could see how the 231lb bench could be possible since its 105kg, but 399lbs would be 181kgs.

U do know that this is the same guy who said he is at a 1015lb total, he knows he's over. He was just answering my question of if they were 1rm maxes or not.

I know. My point was, even though they weren't 1rm'sim sure he'dtotal 1000+ If he maxed.

Update on my deadlift. Some how I wasn't able to count to 4 today, I was going for 365lbsx4 but instead I did 3 reps of 365, but I know I could have definitely got 4 reps. I am going to max next week and hopefully I get 395 or 405. I am still pretty happy about 365lbsx3 though since my 1rm was 365 only a month ago.

Just so you know, you have a lot higher total then me, My 1rm squat is terrible.

my squat is about 2 inches high currently. once i hit my goal squat weight i will have to fix depth for this comp.... im definately no ATG squatter.

good luck BigJ if you go for this

335 squat for two singles today. slightly high. as mentioned above, once i hit a certain weight i will fix this for the comp vids. check the log in the sig for more details on workout.

Do you back squat higher than you front squat cause the video of your 265lb front squat looked like it was right at parallel.

God, you going up by 10lbs every week.

[kman025]

honestly it varies. i squat pretty wide and it just depends. i do a slow decent, so its not like dive bombing straight down. i think one of my 335's was parallel.

also thanks for checking out the log. (assuming thats where you saw the vid????)

im trying.... it helps im eating like **** and gaining like 2 lbs a week

as i may have mentioned before, i focused on front squats for a while. i did max at the start of the comp at 315 (and it was hard as hell). still now that im focusing on back squat, im kind of "primed" to shoot up...

im focusing effort on squat (as oppose to DL) and im eating **** and getting fat as hell.

im acutally like 175 now, not 170

I did see the video in the log. Do you really like front squats that much. I just can't get over the feeling of the bar on my neck when I do them. It feels like someone is going to choke me.

????? i dont put it on my neck.... not sure what you mean.... is it resting in the natural groove of your shoulders?

but i know what you mean. sometimes it rolls too far back and it does that.


YES I DO LOVE THEM! THOSE ****ERS WERE THE BEST THING I'VE HAD SINCE ORIGINAL NOOB GAINS!

how many times have you done them and how much wieght did you get up to

also do you use cross grip or oly grip? (if oly grip, disregard above part of post)

oly grip (its like the same grip used when coming out of the bottom of a clean), I'm not sure what a cross grip is. I have done them only a couple of times and usually no more than 200lbs when I have. I have never done them on my own, I only do them when my schools lifting coach has us do them.

Thank you very much, this explained it very well, I am going to try this on my next squat day. I would rep u but I have to spread some around first.

no problem.

those squat-rx videos are great. theres a ton of them, this summer i plan to watch them all.

hope this helps. give them a fair shot. i started low, so by the time i got to harder weight i was use to the form.

im not sure what your program looks like, but if you have a DL day, i'd throw them in there and then squat another day. they work as assistance work to DL.... help off the floor. i would do them before DL though.... they dont take away from DL much, but DLing 1st makes them hard as hell.

I'm not too sure putting them in on my deadlift day would be such a great idea. It is by far already my hardest day. And my deadlift day was today, so I don't want to wait a week to try them.

just a suggestion.... you planning on doing them after squats? many do this, im just not a fan of this approach.

I think I am going to do them before squats just since it's my first time trying them this way, I don't want to be tired going into them.

well good luck man. i'm sure that could work well.

if this doesnt workout, try throwing them in a different day
