Got me a 555 squat last night PIC

[BodybuildingUniverse]

was feeling real good. my previous PR was 505, 470 in a meet. went 135/225/275/365/405/455/520/540/555!

It's funny how after you get over the LOOK of a new personal record loaded on the bar how quickly you surpass it. 5 plates has messed with my mind long enough!!! Old news now...

shit. that's huge. nice job homie...cool pic.

 

[Ingram]

Congrats!

Now go get 6 plates!

That is excellent HW. I've seen guys at my gym do that kind of weight, but none of them get as low as you do. A lot of guys can squat big, but not with that kind of form. Great work bro!!

Great work, that's a damn good squat!

It's funny how personal bests/milestones affect your training, 4 plates for reps was the big one for me, the look of it on the bar defeated me more times than the actual weight ever did.

daDAYAMN! awesome work. how tall are you?

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

thanks for the support guys. Just wanted to show ya Im in there hitting it too. I am 6'2" champ and just under 240 now.

Excellent! I have not seen someone do HEAVY squats in a long time and I always get impressed when I do see it.

 

[gettinlarger]

im frightened. hopefully one day ill do that. i can get 225 now, so 555 will take me ... forever.

Great job, nice work! We are about the same height and weight I', 6'3" 245, but you look heavier and thicker, I have a more linear build. How long have you been training??

 

[coolcolj]

That's quite a wide stance you use. Maybe the pic isn't showing a good angle though

I use a shoulder width stance for my own squats

 

[scotty green]

awsome dude keep it up!!!!!!

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

Thanks guys! I dont know if I'll go that heavy again, just wanted to see where I was at. I normally do pretty high reps for legs which I consider MUCH harder. Easy to get psyched up for a single but try to stay motivated on rep 7 of a 20-rep set. Ug!

Intenceman, I have been training since '87. My stance is slightly wider than shoulder width, I used to train with a REAL close stance but have since changed it. Getting more outer sweep and hams out of it now

We've got a guy in the gym that weighs about 200lbs and squats almost 600lbs. He's on a local powerlifting team. Squats sumo style.

A good friend of mine weighs about 260, he squats about 740 or so, but he's always been good at squats, his legs are as big as a horse and so is his ass from doing full squats. He's a strong boy.

Agreed, high reps sets are the killer. That's all I do myself. Sets of 15-18 reps, nothing less. There is nothing like the feeling of the 15th rep on squats when you finish, legs blow up like ballons.
