I need a good way to boost my damn Squat!!!

[Austin316]

I feel pathetic when it comes to legs, I can bench more than I can squat, my best bench (315 x 5) my best squat (290 x 8), anyways, I need to change this. Is there any techniques or specific leg workouts designed to significantly boos the Ole squat?

I am by no means an expert, but in my opinion, these guys are. Check these articles.

Box Squats
Speed Squats

You need to find out where your weak point in your squat is...then work on the weak spot.

Have you ever tried the "power matrix", it's probably up in the powerlifting forum. I use it for bench,squat and deads during a strength or power phase. I put on about 25 lbs onto my bench in 2 months using it.

Ill have to try that box squat thing, the only sure fire booster for me was my cycle, I put 90 lbs on my squat (which means it was a pathetic 190 x 8) and 80 lbs on my bench in 8 weeks

I'll switch back to smith machine squats to increase strength.That way I can go heavier without fear of all the stabiliser muscles packing it in.when I switch back to free weights, I'm a lot more solid

whats the power matrix

Two words bro: pause press. Do two sets prior to your regular routine; it will really improve your squat.

WHAT???? Where did this come from? Just because you can use more weight on a smith machine does not mean that they increase strength..just that you can use more weight. This doesn't mean that they do more for you...you are cheating yourself.
