Summer Cutters Crew Volume 25: The quest for 15%

fuking austrians man...when will they learn?

stats: 5'5'' LMAO

[mCheech]

what's your squat/bench ?

Right now, everything is pretty low coming off a low back injury and taking basically a year off... Did a meet and hit 260/370/501 prior to lower back injury.

-Took 2013 off, still lifted, but no squat/dead. Just spun wheels basically, was a waste of a year.
-Back still hurting bad in Jan 2014, decided to start over from scratch at 95 lb squat (srs), but strict no belt. Back is 100% fine now, turned out I relied on the belt too much and had under developed back muscles hence why I kept hurting my back on squats/deads. I only use the belt for top 5/3/1 set now.

Now back up to 330 squat and 425 deadlift, both fairly easy and climbing fast.

I haven't tested 1rm bench in a long time, but I'm doing 5/3/1 and hit 225 x 10 on the recent 5's week, so it's probably upper 200s.

My goal is to get to visible 6 pack and get back to 3/4/5 at that level of leanness.

Fuk yeah. New squat pr of 315 after seeing I gained three lbs in the last four days, lol. Dat anger.

Squatting is not easy for me. Deadlifting feels natural. Whatever my squat is, my deadlift is usually 100-150 lbs higher. When I pulled 530 in the gym, my max squat wasn't even 405.

IDK what happened, I just kept hurting it after every heavy squat or DL session. Ironically, squatting/deadlifting is what cured it and not rest. Go figure.

Nice job, it still amazes me how rare a 3 plate squat to depth is in a commercial gym. I still rarely see and am always still impressed when I do.

you might benefit from trying to get more of an stretch reflex (going down faster, finding that sweet spot) and breaking the bar so that your elbows stay nicely below the bar pointing downwards not backwards


otherwise it isn't that bad, the only problem is that you wrote 260/370/501 and i thought that was the normal ''squat/bench/deadlift'' format so i thought you only squat 260 lol (i tend to skip the bench numbers so i didn't see anything wrong with it hah)

other than that, i'm almost at a similar ratio for raw squats but i compete in wraps so it's a bit different for me

Oh LOL, no my squat wasn't 260 while my bench was 370 rofl.

I was just putting it in the order like a meet. Yeah everyone tells me to keep my elbows under the bar. Every time I try to do it, I lose all ass/hip drive and the movement seems to become all quads though. Haven't figured it out yet. I'm just happy I'm not squatting 95 lbs anymore. Legit 100% srs, I was sore the day after that in Jan of this year and my wife was squatting 155 atg next to me. feltbadman.jpg

one of us is probably going potato but last time i competed squats came on before bench

[Venom08]

If I see someone squatting two plates they're usually only going down like five inches, lol. I'll admit, I didn't go ATG as it was my first time and I was already forty reps deep, but I did get lower than 90*.

[WallkillRanger]

Anybody make it sub 20% yet?

[Venom08]

Omg. I honestly don't think there's anything more cringe-worthy than being in the gym and seeing some ******* dancing like Zyzz next to his homo friends.

Must be the lack of cals restricting oxygen to my brain.

Totally thought I wrote 370/260.

Sounds just like me...DLs are usually 530 or so, but my squat is ~365ish

Knee below hip crease is all you need.

[Venom08]

Knee below hip crease is all you need.

Oh, my ass is usually two inches off the ground on most squats, at least up to 245.

Do you have long femurs?

[Harry815]

Deadlifted for the first time today. Struggled with a 45 plate on each side lol (135 lbs).

How much were you guys able to do when u first started deadlifting?

Don't worry about the weight. Just lock in your form for a few weeks. Watch lots of YouTube channels like candito etc. IMO at least. And I have no idea how much I could when first started

Edit: Hamzza just watched that Animal vid. Fukkin lol at that part

[mh22]

Cotdamn i cant wait to get my BodyBack Buddy thera cane, hopefully itll solve my never ending knot in my upper back...piece a chit never wants to go away. not even a tennis ball or rumble roller helped

[mCheech]

Yeah, check my vid a few posts up.

Adistars helped tremendously.

I can't remember..

All I know is the first time I pulled 315 felt heavier than the first time I pulled 5 plates.

I think I did about that my first time ever, then pulled 315 my 2nd time(there was about a 2 year gap between those) and it felt heavy as fuk lol. Get the form locked down and the numbers you're pulling will shoot up

Go to one of those Asian massage parlors where some lady walks on your back.

Lol I get people to do this all the time. Feelsgoodman.jpg

[musti82]

But who was food scale?

yeah u r right, i should be more careful with the weights of the carbs, during my 70 pounds weight loss never weighed once, i guess i was eating so little weighing didnt matter but now i lost majoirty of the fat, weighing becomes crucial i guess.

If mh22 is lucky, they might even suk his dik if he orders a "happy ending."
