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

[alltraps]

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

hey cockknock, i went looking for a partner cuz you only train YOUR way, and will never do anything else. im not into that. i like variety and science behind my training, not just adding 5lbs a week and doing the exact same exercises in the same order week in week out. plus, how many times have to called me and asked me what time "I" want to train at???? NEVER! if i want to train with you, I have to bow down to the king and be there when you are. so fuck you!

i just realized recently that my squats and even bench are powerlifter style. lowest, you are right, bar high on the traps is the bbing style and will work more quad. i have been doing Power lifter squats for years and now trying to switch to bbing squats is a motherfucker, i cant do half the weight.

how many plates are you guys throwing on for reps- i am interested strictly in adding size to my quads-i could care less about how much i can squat or how strong i am

3.25 plates on each side off gear too....

haha, i'm about to go on a cruise tomorrow in the carribean for 5 days, but it's not cold here... 40's at night, I sleep with the windows open!

very nice, we just got back from 10 days in the mayan riviera, it was a blast. We were going to go cruise but all inclusive just ended up more appealing. I may post some pics from the trip in the pics section

I use to squatt 525lbs for like 3 reps and I was 20 years old back when I was playing football then had really bad injury(tore hamstring) from running I couldnt do any legs for about 5 months and about 3 months ago I hurt my back! so been doing super light squatts. I havent been able to put more then 4 plates since about a year. Right now starting all over again and did 225 for 15 reps, high reps in squatts have gotten my legs alot bigger then when I was squatting 525lbs. And my joints in knees feel much better and also back!!!

I know, but I thought I could get a rise out of you this way
and it wouldnt matter if I called and asked when you wanted to train, you're on polish time, which means you are at least an hour late fucker

I have a really bad left knee, 3 surgeries over a 3 year period from football. I put a flat bench behind me and touch my ass to the bench on everyrep. I have to take extended periods off from lifting legs due to my knee acting up. Right now Im getting 315 for about 15 and 405 for 4-5 reps. I'll hit the 405 for 2 sets then drop back down to 315 for a another set of about 10-12.
