675 for a photo shoot, 675 for any kind of training........unthinkably stupid. this is partly why no-one takes bodybuilders seriously. its his profession/his job and still wants to squat 300kg. Same with Zack Khan, hack squats well over 250kg, and BOOOOOM, legs destroyed. career almost done before it began. Are they bodybuilders or do they want to be semi powerlifters.

wtf are you talking about?

so, what we've learned from this story: never show off

I honestly do not even max on squats any more. My working sets typically range in the 5-10 reps range and I'm squatting ATG. I can really tax my legs with quad and ham extensions.

I'm not trying to get ANY injuries and checked my ego several years ago.

ive been doing a lot more front squats simply because its much harder and i can use less weight.

but i dont feel **** in my legs if i dont do either front or back squats. i can do 5 sets of leg press walking lunges etc and they wont get sore at all.

I never did front squats because of an old clavicle injury. The bar just don't feel right up there

ive been doing it a new way. wrap your wrist straps around the bar and use them as handles. there is a vid on youtube showing it...good trick makes it much easier to hold and rest it on your delts.

His ego got the best of him...

This is why you have to train wisely...

From what I remember Chris Lund encouraged Jean to go that heavy, just so his pics could have more authenticity to them. I always felt that Lund was to blame for this.

Here he is, advertising a new Swiss whey protein, "Old-School-Protein":

in this vimeo video at 03:33 he is refering to the injury that ended his career

I really like his Swiss-English accent. Indeed he must be a cool, nice guy.
