Squats: 275, 295, 315

[*STEVE*]

For fun and to be a vid whore I took vids of my leg day , this is my 4th leg day back squatting since the pinched nerve.

Goal was to see if I could still hit 3 plates ...



275 x 1




295 x 1

"that s***s heavy" lol




315 x 1

"ya , ok f*** that"

Yes , Im aware I swear alot

I played all three videos at the same time. It was like a chorus of squatting.

If this is how good you look coming off an injury, you're gonna be doing great once you get back into the swing of things.

315 x 1

"ya , ok f*** that"

Yes , Im aware I swear alot

Was pretty sure this was gonna be a partial squat.

Was disappoint.

You're a strong MOFO

Looked solid to me. Form looked pretty consistent too. Only thing I can think of is to ask if you push your head/the bar back coming out of the hole & try to shove your chest to the ceiling? That would help eliminate your hips getting ahead of the bar & keep the two as close as possible.

And, while not a steadfast rule, most people can squat more than they can deadlift. Just sayin' And if you squat improves, your deadlift will improve & vice versa.

Do you do Good Mornings? That may be the best squat/deadlift accessory lift out there.

You should really consider running a PL program for a year or so & doing a meet. (serious)

It is a good thing u dont want to do a squat comp.....

Looked solid though all around

[Bando]

Mmmm I dunno about that, I pull 100 lbs more than squat, would say that's fairly typical for peeps that routinely do both.

No straps, right?

This would surprise me in that the deadlift is basically dependent on one's grip strength...not so with the squat.

I could always outdead my squat..it was close though...over/under I never use straps.

I stand corrected (somewhat). Raw it seems that deadlift will outpace a squat, but with gear it is overwhelming that squat outpaces one's deadlift.

Lol, wut? I'm pretty sure it's the other way around ..... and since 1 RMs are usually the measure of this then grip strength is not that big a factor in what someone deads for one rep.

All my big 3 lifts are weak but the are proportional and I pull 100lbs. over what I squat and thats with a gimpy right hand.

edit: one place it does happen is among elite equiped powerlifters because a good squat suit will trump a deadlift suit

Agreed. I am so used to seeing geared PLers that my raw facts were warped. Lotsa 1000+ lb squats but, to my knowledge, only one or 2 1000+ deadlifts.

Thanks sytennison , Im hoping I can get a 4 plate sqauat by the end of 2010 !!!

Thanks

I should have went a little lower , if I got the depth I got with 275 with the 315 I would have been ok with it ..... but , that s*** was heavy lol !!!

Ok will do , Ill work on that the next leg day.

My deads have always been ahead of my squats.

ATM no good mornings , Ive been doing back extensions on a machine for a few weeks , wont try good mornings until I know my backs 100%.

I wanna give a deadlift comp a try one day but with my low bench #'s a PL meet aint gonna fly.

It is a good thing u dont want to do a squat comp.....

Looked solid though all around

lulz I knew the king of leg extensions and leg curls would give me s***

Thanks bro !!!

Great job Steve!

Have to admit I am pretty surprised to read this. You do not strike me as the kind of guy who just admits defeat so easily. Very few people are really good in all 3.

First goal is a deadlift comp. I wanna see how that goes and get a feel for the meets , hell , Ive never been to one let alone thought about competing in one.

If everything goes good and my training and numbers go up to where I want them by the end of the year its always a possibility.

[Korr]

Damn nice lifts, impressive even, considering you are coming off down time and an injury.

What where your numbers when you were healthy?

Only thing I ever tried to find my 1rm on was deads , Ive always switched up my leg days between leg press , hack squats and BB squats.
