and whats the most you have ever squated?

There's a huge thread just a few threads down titled "How much do you squat?"

 

[jerkbox]

i wouldn't exactly call the leg press a squat....

also, you forgot some...like:

box squats
sissy squats
zerchers
smith machine

...etc.


i like good ole' rgular squats

I only perform one type at the moment, the standard ATF back squat. It would have to be my favourite because its the one exercise I really don't enjoy, and have constant battles with myself to improve upon.

When I tried Zerches I ended up with blood blisters the crook of my arms. Ouch. I liked the feel of them, that aside. If I do them in the future, I'll use a towel to protect my skin.

Regular squat all the way.

Box Squats.

...I can't believe leg press made that list. There's no carry over from leg press to squat. Hell I leg press over 900 pounds. No chance in hell I can squat that. Not even close to the same quality, as a movement.

what are zerchers exactly?

And i apologize to you spatts for putting leg press on the list. it seemed like a good idea at the time.

 

[Zander1983]

what are zerchers exactly?

You rest the bar on the crook of your arms and interlock your fingers. Squat down as per normal (feels more like a front squat than a back squat) until your elbows touch your thighs (tends to be bellow parallel, for me anyway).

I think b fold has posted some videos of his zercher squats?

 

[circusgirl]

regular squat.

 

[Lord_Suston]

highbar back squat way past parallel and a nice pause at the bottom

 

[Y_lifter]

What about PAUSE SQUATS... ?
Stop at the bottom for a Sec, then explode out to the top
