What's everyone's????

On squats do you warmup then go right to the heavy stuff??? cause it takes me about 3-4 sets to get up there. I go past parrallel so I warmup my knees and hips. I figure by the end of this semester I will have hit 405 for 10, I also try not to use a belt.

I do one warm up set at 180 pounds for 20 reps and straight to the heavy stuff from there. Next are leg presses, leg curls, leg ext, hip abductors. No warmup at all.

45 for 20, 135 for 20 245 for 15 and 315 for 10-12 then 225 for 18reps.

Sounds like you should drop some of the lighter weights. Remember small weights build small muscles and they can also take away some of your gas preventing you from moving the heavier weights. Just my 2 cents worth.

maybe i should drop the first set, it is just really cold in my basement untill april. Soon my school gym will be open again...

Bench press I do 5 sets generally. set one I do 12 reps of 185, set 2, 8 reps of 205, set 3, 5 reps of 225, set 4 3 reps of 245 and set 5, 3 reps of 250 or 260, depending on how I fell. I have never done much squats or anything like that. I have started here in the last couple of weeks though. Normally do 3 or 4 sets of 10 around 185 or so. I know thats not much bu my legs are still sore!!
I'm 21 and weigh 135!, I'm a little shit!!!

Noe, whats up with such a big difference between your squats and deads? Just curious, injured?

Currently off cycle my 1rep maxes are 500# dead, 405# bench, 275#military, ***# squat(embarassingly low) . Not really heavy stuff, but I lift at a weenie gym, so I'm the big fish in the pond.
