That's cool - I knew you'd be somewhere in that vicinity. BTW, what is your brother squatting? What do you think he'll use?

AnimalMass-

Do you think the CircaMax is too advanced for me? I was thinking I had read IrishPower say someting about you shouldnt even mess with the circa routine untill you were squatting X-amount.

Later..

I don't think you can say if you squat x amount, then you can do the circa max. I think it really comes down to how long you've been squatting with bands, and if you are comfortable with your form on a box and whatnot.

If you've been box squatting for a couple years now using bands, then I think even guys who squat under 500 can benefit from a circa-maximal phase where you add more band tension and really push it.

I'll consider it then. Ive been trying to igure out how to work bands with some structure to it, rather than just throwing them in every now and again.

Can you post the %'s and bands I need to use(or a link). I remember seeing a post by Bob Youngs at one time, but dont remember at what site.

Dave Tate's TNT 2 article from testosterone has all the squat waves on it. %s, bands to use, etc.

Yo Matt, Kyle will use around 350 with blues and greens I think. We figured the percentages off a 750 squat which I think is doable for him right now. It will be close enough to me that we could work together and just add and subtract weight between sets.

By the way, Matt, my other training partner want to go to Tulsa to train and meet everyone. He'll be lifting in St. Loius. He plans on doing a Circa Max phase. He should be squatting around 600, so around 300 and bands would work for him.

Those numbers sound good for me. I plan to just do a few sets of speed work, tho, then work up to a free squat max to see how I am doing at the moment.

Oh, and Animalmass, I did 430 plus blues on my 10th set the other day. Just thought I would throw that one out there for you. Tee hee.

So the 11th it is?

 

[AnimalMass1]

Yeah, the 11th it is.

If it's not too much trouble, I would rather workout fairly early (like 10am or so? - 11am at the latest?), and then we can eat a late lunch and genemachine and I can head back home.

This is the last weekend before going back to school, and as most of you know genemachine got married over Christmas break and he and I would like to spend the last evening of our vacation with our wives.

Woud this be ok?
