How much poundage are u guys squatting for reps? BB's not Powerlifters

[shape]

455 x 8, 465 x 6, ass to the floor, no belt or wraps were my best, and I have videos kicking around here of them.
I personally would like to see some videos to see some of the squats posted on here, as it is the internet and anyone can claim anything. And it doesnt even remotely come close to being called a squat, unless it is to parallel, but to the floor is even better. And saying that will give you a huge ass is an old wives tale, I squat very heavy all the way down, and have built some pretty huge quads out of it, and my ass is no where near too big. More often than not that thats an excuse to avoid the drop in working weight when you go all the way down

nice numbers bro-but do you not feel that when you go past parallel you releive pressure from the quad???

also I am off the mindset that narrow stance smiths allow you to target the quad more- ok the free-squat is an "overall mass builder" blah-blah-blah-but if your goal is just to increase quad size do you not think the smith is better???? better control easier to feel the quad working

what do you think???

Where the FUCK is the "one plate each side" option?

Lunges are great, but when I do them (with 60s BTW as high as they go in my gym) I get most sore in my adductors, glutes, and them hammies. If my quads are sore it's down towards the knee.

I would do heavy DB squats. Or That one where you hold the bar between your legs.

judging by your avatar youve been doing plenty of squats with the bars between your legs, because your C**k is gone bro.

I do agree that narrow allows a little more quad stimulation, but you cant go rock bottom on too narrow a stance.
I dont think that the quads relax at all below parallel, I get a much bigger pump when I go that far. I've done a lot of experimenting, and all the way down has definitely done the most for quad development
Heres an old video, 455 x 7, so you can see my form, its old and I've squatted heavier since, but you get the idea. I do lean a bit at the bottom though, but notice no belt or wraps
squat 455 x 7

DAMN NS... you're huge off-season in that video. Looks like I did last winter... only you're about 40lbs heavier and 5 inches taller, lucky bastard on both accounts. You really do go ass to ankles. I'm short, but with a stance that narrow I can barely make parellel without falling over. With a wide stance and low bar I can get really low, but that works my low back and inner thighs more than quads. Can I come train with you? I must learn from the master

thanks, I would love some company in the gym since alltraps has found himself a new training partner.....sniff...I was only around 245lbs in that video, and was 260lbs about a month ago

I do know there are some parts to my form that could stand some work, but I've been doing it so long that its hard to change now

Same here. I started off squatting plifter style, very wide stance and low-bar. Got strong-ass low-back and huge inner thighs, but not much quad work. Now I do much more narrow-stance, high-bar squats, bber style, but I just don't have the balance to go that low anymore, parallel is the best I get. I sink ass to ankles on smith machine front squats though, I love those! And bro, I would love to come train with you too, my last partner just stopped lifting after his first competition. I even love cold weather, but unfortunately, due to my greedy desire for money and the ability to get free drugs, I must stay here and finish my pharmacy degree. Damn greed, and lack of good workout partners!

as long as the way you are doing it is working, then thats all that matters. For me it has to be ass to the floor. Also, my quads are so strong, that if I went parallel I would be squatting well over 500lbs for reps, and the rest of my body cant hack that right now
You love cold weather, are you nuts.....we just got back from 10 days in mexico to get away from this crap
