425lb squat Thoughts?

[Whitekoala]

What do you guys think? What are my weak points. Tried 440lbs right after and just failed, will get it soon though. But ya ur thoughts?

*Note been bodybuilder for 2 years total, but only started squatting 1 year ago. Squat went from 170lbs to 425lbs in 1 year

[Pain Zone]

Good job, trolls are gonna hate and say we cant see you or the weight.

[InspecktaDeck]

Ill tell you the same thing I always tell you, squat to depth.

When i first started squatted heavy twice a week. For the most part like 8 months i squatted every 3 days. Thats with around 300lbs+ every 3 days heavy.
Currently i am squatting every 4 days heavy as hell

Ya man u can see the weight at the very end bro.

The squat was to depth pretty darn if not parallel. Either way i don't plan to compete anytime soon, as long as i am close

It wasnt crazy high, but the hip crease didnt go below knee by a good inch.

thx for ur opinion

[MaCK123]

solid squat progress. good job!!

inb4 680lb squat this year

[Enficy]

Didn't know you were back already, unaware. Solid squat for sure, your core looked tight. Only thing I could see honestly is the depth, but that was already explained.

I made a thread go watch the vid brah

[Xuaxace]

not even going to get into depth issues... just going to say, you are wearing stripped adidas pants, and they are by no means pointing parallel to the floor, doesn't take an engineer to get that.

Regardless, I think the set up is pretty bad, way to rushed, by just seeing you walk it out It could be seen that you would struggle with the set.

I saw it. That's crazy. What's happening with your squat?

it didnt want to move while i was cutting plus ive gotten two injuries squatting in the past which have also held me back. Im expecting it to shoot up on my bulk big time.

[KrazyEyezKillah]

Strong just to get that sht on your back. You did not hit parallel regardless of whether or not you think it is "opinion" - it is fact. Dude if you lowered the weight like 15 or 20 lbs youd probably be golden.
Also show us the weights.

?????

Are people being serious right now or retarded? The weights are at the end of the video. Pause the video and look at the weights, i get them on both sides.

4 45's
2 35's
4 25's
2 10's
2 5's

i believe

and a 45lb bar. bar could even be 50lbs or 55lbs never weighted it before

[Newmanzz]

Looks good, you would probably help yourself getting some decent shoes to squat in, could have hit little more depth perhaps..

I actually failed 440lbs aswell last night, tweaked my lower back warming up, went for it anyways, shouldn't have, went up easily last week as an overwarmup, first fail in like 6 months on the squat, I'm lying here eating ice cream depressed

dat feel

[Meadey]

not even close to parallel but whatever, strong squat

Any recommendations on shoes?

Also are shoes better than going bare foot, i mean would they be the same or would shoes be better, keep in mind i squat on carpet.

I wear these, slightly raised heel, pretty hard sole, cheap and effective, makes hitting depth easier, I was actually wearing my converse when I tweaked my lower back lol, ran to my car and got these, everything felt alot better

Shoes are better for sure, give you a more stable surface, would probably make your walkouts a little easier and stable

It also looks like you have duck feet, which rotates your knees inward, shoes could help fix that aswell

[george1612]

Bare foot or flats for squats, and squatting on carpet is horrid too much movement imo. Flat foot allows for greater balance ive seen and heard.

You're an absolute monster haha. Parallel or not, just being able to hold that much weight on your back is impressive in itself. Gjdm. Now I'm not even attempting to critique you because you are so much more experienced than me and absolutely blow me away as far as your PR's go, but don't forget how important form is. Just my two cents. Wish I had your size/strength. Mirin'

thx man will probaly hit 440lbs next session maybe. Only been squatting for 1 year. squat went from 170lbs to 440lbs in 1 year. +270lbs in one year hahaha.

The key is heavy squats every 3 days. reps in the 3-5 rep range.

Thats insane hahah. Will definitely have to give this a try. You ever had a knee injury before? Was squatting 225 and injured my knee because of crappy form. Should I use a knee brace? What do you do to warm up properly for squats? Scared of getting hurt again

[derieu]

Heavy weights are all nervous system power, you definitely have the mass, just start training with triples and fives, heavy ass intensity, and you'll be squatting more in no time

i have squatted on those type of shoes are even though they are not really supposed to have any give on the sole, after so much squatting it just buckled in, overall clumbsy footwear, and not something you would see a powerlifter wear when doing heavy squats.

I just bought some wrestling shoes (asics split 8), coming in the mail in a few days, have decent rep for squatting.

No man never had any injuries to my legs or knees. Haven't had any injuires ever in my bodybuilding career so far. So i am happy about that.

As for warmup, i just warmup with usually 135lbs or 165lbs and keep adding weights, thats all i do.

U could try foam rolling or other stuff
