I'D RATHER BE DEADLIFTING
New member
I realize without watching me squat, you can't really have the full idea of what my problem is, but you can do your best with my description. Basically I suck at them. I can take my top squat weight that I can barely squeeze out with a belt and wraps, put it on the ground and rep out with it on deads for like 15 or so. I don't know why when I put it on my back, it just crushed me. First off, I am 5'7" and weigh 155ish. With wraps I have hit a best of 315. Woopidee doo!
Now, I can do arched back gm's with the same weight and do a few reps. It seems that my back is very strong and I can finish a squat with ease. It's coming out of the hole that I totally suck. Even with like 275-300 on, once I get passed the half-way mark I fly up as if it is 135. It's just getting out of the hole. What is the best remedy for this? Tons of box squats? Anyone know any bizarre techniques that I may never have tried. I think I may be joining the local Gold's and they have a reverse hyper if that will help at all. Any info is appreciated.
