Needsize Squat Video

Impressive weight bro. But I gotta go with Nate. That hurt my back just watching it, and I really don't think the camera angle had much to do with it.

Wondering if there is a strength correlation between squats and leg presses? I work out by myself when I get off work at 3:00am so heavy squats are not an option. I can leg press around 1500 for 4 reps but have never been able to squat very heavy due to lack of a squat rack. Wondering how much I might be able to squat?

There is really very little correlation.

once you get your back/ab strength up, and your balancing then you can squat a bit. Maybe 500lbs for the same reps going to parallel , probbaly 365 rock bottom

NeedSize what sort of shoes you wearing?

Seems like your feet a wobbling a lot, which is the same problem I have when squatting in sports shoes. I have some Olympic lifting shoes on order, these have a raised heel are solid with a reinforced heel.

Just a pair of Nike cross trainers that are about 2 years old. Normally my feet dont do that, but i went so heavy that it was hard to focus on the little things. Too be honest, I hit 8 reps on 405 after that first set, and I think my form was much more on

I will be performing some squats today, this will give me some extra motivation. It will probably go like this:

2 x 10 - 45lbs (olympic bar warm up)
1 x 5 - 135lbs (warm up)
1 x 5 - 225lbs (warm up)
1 x 5 - 315lbs
1 x 5 - 355lbs
1 x 5 - 385lbs
1 x 5 - 405lbs
1 x 3 - 420lbs
1 x 5 - 245lbs (ass to floor. . .pause 2 count at bottom)
1 x 5 - 135lbs (ass to floor. . .pause 2 count at bottom)

Extra Leg Work:

Leg Presses - 3 x 15-6 (use wide stance)
Leg Extensions - 3 x 10
Lying Leg Curls - 3 x 15-6

My stance ranges between 16 and 20 inches.
