Squatted 315lbs for 3 - wanted 5 - Video

[bodyhard]

Most here know about my accident and my pelvis, been working on my squats for sometime now. It has been a slow and torturous climb, but I keep chucking along. I never stop squatting, I stay within 225 - 275lbs for reps of 8 - 10 but my attempts at 315lbs have been few in between.

My very first attempt at squatting after my surgery March 24th 2008 95lbs


My very first attempt at 315lbs May 13th 2010, I wore a belt out of fear and I could not go below parallel


My first attempt at 315lbs without a belt Jan 30th 2013


My second attempt at 315lbs Sept 1st 2014


Tonight July 10th 2015

Those were great, John. I don't care if you slightly rounded your back on the way up on the last rep. To me, it showed determination. Most people would not have had the courage to go for that last rep.

Nice work.

Yeah. X100 for sure.

Great work John.


Hey, why is this in the misc? This should be in the regular section. The misc is for losers who talk about chicken$hit stuff like colons and greyhounds and free sex change operations.

congrats BH
great progress in my opinion, even the 3rd rep today , looked better than the single you got in Sept 2014

You will get the 5 soon enough in my opinion, as that triple should have really helped your confidence .

Thanks man, been a long haul. I will try 5 next week, my confidence is somewhat f'cked due to the cracking/crunching on my pelvis right now.

My confidence is not that good right now, read above. But I felt better than a few weeks ago when I switched to goblet squats. I will see next week how I feel.

[bodyhard]

Yeah. X100 for sure.

Great work John.

Squats looked great. You shouldn't have too many problems getting those 5 reps next time I would bet.

No lifting for me the week of the meet. Figured it's a good switch, I watch you on Friday you get to watch me on Sunday in Rochester

[Keoking]

Squats looked strong. Tank really showed off how solid your back was throughout the set.

And laser focus. I was nervous about that guy in blue on the left. Seeing him there, thinking about him bumping the bar ... it would have sabotaged my set.

Im defiantly going to be picking your brain about some bodybuilding type ****. I'm going to include more of that this year with my powerlifting stuff. Who knows, might make a bodybuilder out of me yet

Dude you are one of the few here who lifts heavy and looks like a bodybuilder. I can count them on my finger most who lift heavy, well lets just say they don't have that "look"

Appreciate it. I get better every year that's for sure. My goal is to look like Busta (Matt), squat like Flex and deadlift and bench like ID. One day at a time

[bodyhard]
