Squatting for power

[chucklettner]

[FONT=&quot]What is the most weight you can squat with reasonable speed ie no pause at the top between reps? I do speed work from time to time and can manage multiple sets of 180kgx10 without any pauses etc (sub 25secs).[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Interested to hear if any of you incorporate speed work into your routine to develop power?[/FONT]

at my peak i was squatting small cars, nowadays it is way less but i make sure my form is perfect.

i really recommend box squats to help with power, plus they keep you honest so you don't cheat

I don't do that kinda work. I am using 500-660lb on Hatfield Squats.

I havent squatted in a few years. Before I blew my dics out I went heavy. Now I cant squat at all without aggravation

I don't ever train for speed reps in squatting, but rather I try to stay heavy and with good form and depth (as if every rep were in a powerlifting meet and I don't want any red lights).
