Fucking SQUATS

[bran987]

More than likely it is psychological. Many people have a hesitation when they put 3, 4, 5 45's a side.
However, quads are an extremely large muscle, so i would go up more than 5 or 10 pounds at a time. I am a firm believer that moving up to little is a sure way to never grow.
Good luck,

have you ever done the math at how much you will go up if you move up 5 lbs. per week on squats for a year?

I am a firm believer that moving up too fast is a sure way to plateau quickly

oh my god talk about a safety hazard.. that would be a DISASTER

Hell yeah, I cringe imagining the damage that could do.

As long as it is working...don't ask too many questions.

You "warmed up" with 225? That was it???

The day I squatted 800 I still took the bare bar, 135, etc...

800!!!

800!!!

Yeah...it was the first time I'd ever had more than 550 on the bar. They got me in a pair of squat briefs (loose), loose squat suit, and knee wraps and under a mono lift. Maybe someday I'll look to hit a big number again. I plan to squat over 600 raw on Sunday as my 2nd exercise.

it's the same for me when deadlifting, anything after a certain weight just feels heavy no matter what.

same deal here. every set feels HEAVY, no matter what the weight. i've been doing 5x5 for a few months, and it isn't usually until the 4th set that i feel good. i usually do 4 warm up sets, 12, 10, 8, then 5 reps, then jump into work sets. all sets feel just as heavy as the last.
