How much do you squat for reps?

[PolishHammer1977]

nice numbers

Feel free to post up some of yours Big Nate. I am sure alot of people are anxious.


Heavywear,
You and Loudin have inspired me to go for high reps next week. Whew! Congrats on the personal bests!

Needsize,
Your an ox. Laying down reminds me of Arnod dong squats and his partner falling out after a set of 11 reps at what appeared to be 315. 800lb's! What a fucking monster. I howver, have tossed cookies many times while doing squats.

LOL.. My squat is terrible compared to most.... I'm aiming for 315x5 in less than 6 months..

#'s are put here IMO so we can push eachother to reach the outer limits of our genetic potential. For support. Dr. Bones, what is terrible to you may be incredible for another. There is no race and you decide the pace.

my personal records are 225 for 36 and 315 for 20. I LOVE high rep squats...as hard as it gets! more mental than physical almost...

You love high reps squats...you are a sick, sick bastard!!!!

I've done the following:

Back Squat: 418/10, 462/5, 485/3, 529/1
Back Pause Squat: 496/1
Front Squat: 363/5, 407/3, 430/1

All performed deep (I'm an olympic lifter) .

I think a wide variety of reps are good for the legs.

This can be from 5 to 35.

Those are the kind of numbers I aspire to do one day

How long have you been lifting?

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Nice cujo,
Wow! That's some serious #'s there. I too hope to be in there soon! I have to bump up the same ? Cool asked. How long have you been training?

Tarheel,
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needsize,
Do you go for the 5X5 method with your legs for best results? You do have some pretty impressive tree stumps.

I've been working out for about 32 years. I didn't make the big gains til the last 7 years. That's when I really started to concentrate on the squats. I use a 3 sets of 5 reps scheme and 5 sets of 3 reps scheme. Squatting twice per week. I can email you the squat routine I use. It is based on Artie Dreschler's squat cycle in his Weightlifting encyclopedia. BTW, I'm 45 and weigh 205#.
