What does everyone squat for reps

**SuperFreak** · 12-30-2001, 07:48 AM

Hey what do you all squat for your working sets?

I do 385lbs for my first working set and then 405 for my second one. First set is 8 reps and second is 6.

**drew** · 12-30-2001, 11:24 AM

Reps stay low....or I lose my intensity. 4-6

Bad knees run in my fam. Both my grandfathers have had both their knees replaced. My dad's gonna have his done soon. Me, im a moron and jumped off a 20' wall during the summer and messed up my knee.

Yesterday, for the first time since early august, my knees started feeling better, and i did legs for the first time. For the past 2 months i've been taking in massive amounts of olive oil, and not only have my gains gotten better, but my knee's feel better. I got some duke ass knee braces, and went all out. It felt great, it felt even better falling down the stairs this morning cause they hurt so much. God, it feels good to be able to do legs again.

Enough rambling though. I like higher reps for legs. In the 12+ range. I squatted 265 for 18 reps yesterday before my legs gave out and the weight went crashing down to the safety rails.

superfreak, do you do the ass-to-grass squats or regular pussy squats like most teens

**Fresch** · 12-30-2001, 01:40 PM

I try for 8-10...but it doesn't always work out that way!! Oh well, sometimes I'm an eternal optimist..

**Big V** · 12-30-2001, 03:02 PM

Hey BR,
Do you do box squats with your bad knee? Theres a college guy I know who blew his knee out and has just switched to box squats since he can't do normal ones. He said they are the better than the normal ones for him. Tried them?

**Levrone2000** · 12-30-2001, 03:07 PM

olive oil Br?

Nah, never done those. I've heard bad things about them though, when you sit down for a second, they align your spine (?)

Leverone2k..

I forgot where i read it, but it talked about efa's being really good for your joints.

Olive Oil is loaded with Monounsaturated Fats which contain Omegga-3 Fatty Acid. These are in my opinion the most beneficial fatty acids, they promote an increase in testosterone amongst many other beneficial effects.

**Levrone2000** · 12-30-2001, 03:14 PM

cool i didnt know that thx Br and Todd

**power_just** · 12-30-2001, 03:28 PM

302.5kg for 1max rep using all powerlifting equipment

**joehagyHH** · 12-30-2001, 03:30 PM

burbansnlacs, id like to see you back that mouth up. ass to the grass squats are okay every once in a while, but for the most part, you shouldnt go past 90 or perpindicular.

**Big V** · 12-30-2001, 03:31 PM

Nah accually they don't hurt ya. Heres an article from Westside Barbell Club about them:

http://www.deepsquatter.com/strength/archives/ls9.htm

These guys use them and most of them squat well over 700lbs+ and haven't complained. It's Powerlifting but hey it might work. Or you can just go to touch and go. Once your ass touches you go right back up. Hope this helps,

385lbs and 405lbs done correctly..........that is 90 degrees and no further. Very strict.

**power_just** · 12-30-2001, 03:38 PM

people take so much ****...i u run u get hurt..if u pick a weight of the gound u get hurt..what people are saying is that no matter what u do u get hurt...so then no one shoud train..they will get hurt...FU*K that..lift big and strong...

Look at ed coan he squat 1003lb at 242lb body weight has he got bad knee no....look if u have an injury in dedling with ur knees u dont squat u leg press...whats all rhis bull about going Not passed 90*....if u r not supposed to..then why i the human patella (Knee joint) can go past 90*....it all come down to who can lift the bigger weight and ego in my book....if i go 90* i can squat 345kg without using any equipment except belt..oh yeh powerlifters have to go below 90*

oh yeh i will get a pic done at the next meet i am at in augst 23rd and put up the pic for u..and u will Fu*k right up...

**SuperFreak** · 12-30-2001, 03:43 PM

lol...................maee uh u cuuld ah tke a splling corse and then we could all understand what the **** you're saying. Over 700lbs???? and you're complaining about people talking ****.....LOL Sure you can naturally squat past 90 but with hundreds of pounds on your shoulders ITS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. Bodybuilding isn't about ego. It's about size, symmetry, proportion, muscularity, and definition. Not everyone will hurt themselves by going heavy and going past 90 but you INCREASE THE RISK.......and that's just the way it is you ego****ingtistical lying piece of ****. It's guys like you that won't make it anywhere BECAUSE of your ego.

**BigAssDeltoids** · 12-30-2001, 03:45 PM

Whats the deal with you guys? dont you know for adding mass, you should be doing between 10-12 reps? i did 180 for about 14 reps...

**SuperFreak** · 12-30-2001, 03:47 PM

You should be doing combinations of different training styles for adding mass. I'm on a power cycle right now and my legs are growing.

**BigAssDeltoids** · 12-30-2001, 03:48 PM

right i do 3 weeks mass, 1 week strength...how about everyone else?

**SuperFreak** · 12-30-2001, 03:50 PM

My training cycles are all 6 weeks long.

**BigAssDeltoids** · 12-30-2001, 03:51 PM

so how many weeks mass/strength do you do?

**SuperFreak** · 12-30-2001, 03:52 PM

**SuperFreak** · 12-30-2001, 03:56 PM

oh yeah you mentioned something along the lines of 345kg but anyways....................and by the way.........I'll still look a hell of a lot better than you..........lol

**power_just** · 12-30-2001, 04:05 PM

oh dear.....i forgot, u r a body builder, not a powerlifter. dame i just want to be strong and weigh in at 242lb at 5ft 10 and have 7%b/fat...but that is **** for a powerlifter at 21yrs of age.

anyway i was here to put out a point that, my own views have been reshearched by the university of Newcastle into the hazards of squating past 90* and the corrilation between only squating 90* ( what are the diffrences) oh dear the results came out that both showed the same signs of slight damage of knees......what else can i say. but that u suck cok...opp's COCK

**SuperFreak** · 12-30-2001, 04:07 PM

hehheh I still look better than you...........lol learn how to spell.
