Squat pr

[Jtbny]

I normally don't post pr vids and such here in the main section but I'm rather happy with my pathetic squats . I could make a laundry list as to why I'm weak on the squat but no matter what I've dealt with injury wise the fact is I never really put the time in to get good at them until recently. I'm doing that now. Credit to all of you who post in your journals (and some that don't) for motivating me to get better at this lift. 425 for a single. Sorry I didn't get a shot of plate weight. Room is crazy small.




Edit to say I full expect this thread to get little to no responses and end up on page 3 in an hour. Lifting threads die a fast death around here

Great job JTBNY..you have come along way and should be proud...

Always great to see some videos of PR around here, not enough of them.

Would rep but on the spread....

[hitman79]

425... i wish

Nice work.

[ajdahlheimer]

Word Life, brah.

[danandsue]

Congrats. All pr's are worth noting. Especially at 425.

[drudixon]

Awesome John. Who was that spotter? Knew his stuff. Good depth, looked challenging but solid. How the knees holding up?

Damn, on spread.

[Gadsen]

Strong.........On spread also.

[IIISpartacusIII]

That went up pretty smooth. Congrats on the PR!

[Jeepindoc]

Dang dude, you OWNED that.

On perma-spread.

[Flounderbout]

Negged and reported to mods for a) posting about lifting, b) producing vid instead of estats, and c) lifting up very heavy weights.

In future please stick to whiny threads about how great cardio is, and endless futile debates about whether or not some useless study reported in the mainstream media affects "loosing" fat and getting abs.

[Espi1971]

Way to handle on the down AND the up and congrats on 425. Looked like a very fluid rep.

[ljimd]

Very nice John, very nice.

Aware.

Post a thread that would better-suit 'Runners World,' or a bit*h thread about how you're the only hardcore dude in your gym, and it'll roll to 6+ pages.

[Phattso]

You nailed it, JT. Be proud of that. Great accomplishment. On spread.

[magic15]

Awesome PR, congrats

[GKC45]

That's great, but I heard that low-weight high-rep is better

[induced_drag]

Hell....ALWAYS in on a PR thread! Nice job man! Looked solid.

{on spread!!!}

[meltedbarrel]

Great squat man!

[NorwichGrad]

Great job, John!

[acrawlingchaos]

Good depth, solid core, great drive. An impressive PR to line up with your growing collection of monster lifts.

[EB68]

If you spent more time running on an incline on the treadmill and less time eating and lifting weights you would likely be Squatting 600 pounds by now. Every0one knows that cardio is better for gains than lifting weights :rolls eyes:









Just kidding, massive lift and looked easy for you.

[Keoking]

Would rep but on the spread....

Someone needs to throw the new guy a bone and tell me what 'on spread' means.

Jtbny,
What was your previous PR? Based on the vid, I wouldn't have guessed that was your max. Looked strong, and no breakdown in form. Congrats.

[raynerd]

Impressive and inspirational!! Fantastic squat!

You can only rep the same person once in a while, if you have repped them recently you are on spread with them and have to wait a bit to rep them again.

Thanks SB getting there slowly!

425... i wish

Nice work.

Word Life, brah.

Congrats. All pr's are worth noting. Especially at 425.

Thanks guys!

Awesome John. Who was that spotter? Knew his stuff. Good depth, looked challenging but solid. How the knees holding up?

Damn, on spread.

Spotter is a friend of mine who competes in powerlifting and has for over 30 years. Great guy and he's one of the reasons I've been getting better. We push each other. (He should deadlift over 500 at 181 this August in Rochester)

Thanks Dru!

Strong.........On spread also.

Thanks again!

That went up pretty smooth. Congrats on the PR!

Dang dude, you OWNED that.

On perma-spread.

Cheeky aren't ya

Very nice John, very nice.

Thanks Larry. Hope all is well.

Good work. Congrats on hitting a solid PR.

Thanks Will.

You nailed it, JT. Be proud of that. Great accomplishment. On spread.

Normally I wouldn't post a pr. I hit one on bench a few weeks back too but I'm super happy with my progress here. Surprisingly my leg is holding up (knock on wood).

Thanks!

Awesome PR, congrats

Thank you!

That's great, but I heard that low-weight high-rep is better

You mean I need to do that for high reps

Hell....ALWAYS in on a PR thread! Nice job man! Looked solid.

Thanks man!

Great squat man!

Thanks!

Great job, John!

Thanks Joel.

Good depth, solid core, great drive. An impressive PR to line up with your growing collection of monster lifts.

Appreciate it Jeff. We need to see you around more.

Thanks Eric. Looks can be deceiving.

Previous was 405 a few weeks ago but it went up too easy I needed to try for Moar!!! I follow 5/3/1 and have for almost a year so I try not to 1rm but deload next week and I felt good so...

Thanks!

Impressive and inspirational!! Fantastic squat!

Thank you.


Thanks again everyone. I'm really excited about the meet this upcoming August and hope I can put up some numbers I can be proud of.

[OzChops]

Amazingly off spread so you can have some measly greens.

Great effort, and keep them coming!

[postman123]

Great lift JBTNY! Kudos for putting in the training to make that possible. Well done sir.

[doughnutgut]

There is ZERO point in even attempting to give you greenz. It is just broken every time I try.

Seen the vid earlier in your journal but stupidly thought it was an old vid bumped because of the starting pic. Excuse me and my ignorance.

Awesome lift John. Great, solid, deep, strong up, strong everything. Looking like a monster also.

Seems like this little goal of yours you got going on with someone is working.

Glad I popped around here today. Your work ethic and assistance shows in that lift that you know what your talking about.

Waiting for the 435 soon.jpg

[Nikonguy]

Dat depth!

[Tmax55]

Grats

Also on spread
