Post up your Squat Max #'s

[KillahBee]

I am really into squats right now since they are pretty much all I can do with my injury (shoulder) and am setting some goals for myself. Just interested in everyone else's max squat numbers. Gives me some inspiration and something to strive for.

 

[dzuljas]

[needsize]

525 no belt or wraps and weighed 205lbs at the time, no idea what I can do now

 

[WarriorPL]

275 @ 165, that was last fall....

20 pounds heavier now and i just started to squat again

 

[lucidblue]

135 (5x5) @ 5'4, 123. I would be much higher than this by now if I hadn't hurt my back 2 months ago. I'm going to try for a 1 rep max next week. Originally, I was aiming for 155 by Nov 9, then I hurt the back.

 

[hawkfish]

20 years ago:

405 x 8
495 x 2

210 @ 5'7"

Within the last two years or so:

320 x 8
360 x 4

225 @ 5'7"

Good luck with your squats but just be mindful of your shoulders when doing them. Having the bar across your shoulders and holding it in place during squats puts a lot of pressure on them.

I hear ya on that. What I have is a rotator cuff problem, so really the only time it bothers me during squats is when I lift the bar off the rack, and that doesn't really bother me.

squat max

My best ever is 545*3 with just a belt. I did this at about 230lbs one week out from this year's NASS nationals. I used a Rickey Dale Crain program to get up to that. Funny thing is when I tried it a second time, I couldn't keep up with it and had to bail on the thing.

 

[Buddy_Christ]

PR doing pyramids

145 for 12
185 for 10
225 for 8 (none of these 3 sets were hard)
then 265 for 5.

that was what i did i think 3 weeks ago. only attempted 265 for 5 once, other than that, my prior max on pyramids was 245 for 5.

5'6", 160ish, only been lifting for 3 1/2 months. going to 5x5 on monday, that is, as long as my basement is prepped in time for me to workout. i'm not attempting any new maxxes for a few months. last time i attempted a max bench, it kind of threw my back into a tizzy, but didn't feel it til the next day (2 herniated discs in the thoracic).

 

[magman1]

im 210, 6' and just hit 455 today for the first time...1 rep, good form tho...no chance for a second...the minute i hit that tho, i thought what five plates would look like on the bar...no belt or anything

 

[lukeb5301]

6/2 165
i only box sqaut, got 350 on monday

 

[needsleep]

280lbs 5x5, currently working my way up another 5x5 but going 1-2" below parallel this time around instead of just to parallel. Did squats yesterday, legs more sore than usual due to depth =)

btw I keep on looking retarded as I accidently call the movie SWAT, Squat instead and it's happened several times. (it's recent release in UK).

 

[from zero]

Only wear a Valeo belt (4" wide) and blue RHEBAND neoprene knee sleeves.

Thats some awesome numbers for you bro!!!! You should be proud to be lifting at your age, cause you got a lot of years and experience to show for it.

 

[Nico Cujo]

I had a back injury that knocked me down for about a year and a half. The numbers this week were both PR's. Had to work hard for them. And, yes, it feels great outlifting all of the young guys at the gym.

505 X5 @ 220 is my personal best (I'm doing hack squats as my primary compound movement for quads now)

I'm going out on a limb here... normally any time I post a lift someone calls me a liar and demands a video.

hell of a bench brotha...wtf is up with ur squats tho? i guess if ur at that weight, benching what u do, it dont really matter!

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Family has a history of bad backs, but at 175 today I box squatted:

210x10, 225x8, 266x15 (supposed to be 6 but last set is always to failure in the program I'm on).

The only reason I did such a little amount of weight is because my bar is a regular 6' straight bar. The most if can hold is 266. I'm getting an olympic bar for X-mas, so then we'll see what I can do.

 

[JoBu]

Pyramid
225X12
275X9
315X6
275X9
275x7

Ass to the floor, no wraps, no belt

I suppose I could do a rep @ 405 but don't really care to to max.

[rbrown]

RAW? no equip?

no; that is with equipment. Wraps and a suit, powerlifting style to parallel. I never do a raw squat--probably about 720 though??

 

[IJ26]

last time I maxed I was 5'8 192 about 7% and got 490 for 1.

 

[MattRecc]

Damn you guys haev good numbers. I have extremely loooong legs, and just started squatting ass to the floor (i was inspired by a powerlifter there pull 505 for like 6 asf. So im starting at 225x8 allll the way down, just to get the hang of it. Before i was doing 285x10 but they were shit form.

 

[Island Son]

Set another back squat PR today. Did 200kg for a set of 8 with just a VALEO belt and RHEBAND knee sleeves. What a way to end the year.

 

[Tweakle]
