Heck of a set.

Thanks all!
Thanks, ID. I've been grinding hard and had been focusing on my back squat for quite some time. I got up to 495lbs for 8 and decided to change up my leg training since I wasn't seeing much in the way of hypertrophy. Been working on the hack squats for about 5 or 6 weeks now. I'm probably going to back it down over the next couple weeks and hit some high volume. I know I have 700lbs in me, but I can't keep pushing the envelope because an injury right now would be devastating as I'm starting a bulk in the next week or so. BB competition is still on my mind.
No, no safeties at the bottom. Just the platform.-Squattin' in the curl rack.

When I saw the weight used, my first thought was "Can't wait to see how deep he goes". Well done - very impressive.

Wow!! That ROM is impressive with that amount of weight. I am glad your smart and using knee wraps. My knees just ache thinking about doing them. I am 45 and wondering if you can give any advice other than knee wraps on keeping your knees healthy at a later age? Keep up the good work. Hope you place well in your bodybuilding show.

Thanks, gentlemen.
Yes sir. A big breath right before the descent. If I'm not mistaken some powerlifting coaches teach to take a breath at the top and hold it throughout the repetition and exhale at the top once the rep is completed. I don't like holding my breath during my entire rep and have always been in the habit of exhaling during the concentric portion of the movement.
Fortunately I have never had issues with my knees. The only precaution I take, if you want to call it that, is that I begin my leg training with four sets of 20 reps on the leg extension machine to warm up the knees.
I like to change things up on different movements as well. There's a squat machine at my gym that I stand in backwards from time to time as well. It provides a totally different feel. To me it's all about hitting the muscles from various angles.-Squattin' in the curl rack.
