new squat video...455 x 7 reps

[needsize]

I know this doesnt really belong in anabolic, but I am fairly stoked that I squatted this today so I thought I'd put it up. I'm sure there are bros on here who squat more than this, but it was a pr for me so I'm fairly happy. My goal was 455 for 5 reps so I did exceed my goal

squat 455 x 7

 

[needsize]

forgot to mention but the site I'm hosting this on is pretty slow

 

[BIGJAKE]

Fuck Bro Your The Man Good Job.

 

[theoak01]

good job bro,also looking huge

 

[hrt39]

Need - That was a slow site. Slowed the cable modem down to a crawl. Awesome work in the squat rack, though. My degenerative disk was screaming at me just watching that. (I had to retire from heavy squats a few years back)

 

[BrandonXJ]

you could've gone for 8 you pussy.

just kidding 455x7 is a wee bit better than my massive 185x6.

 

[needsize]

thanks guys
hrt39, I've got a messed up back too, I have to be very careful locking out at the top or my back buckles on me

 

[Dirty V]

Little man, I think you need to go deeper, those wer'nt full reps! LOL take it easy SWOLL, that hurt my back watching you.

 

[GEEK2FREAK]

great job...im going to skip out on the smart ass comments like everyone else is throwing in...but you have great form ...keep up the good/hard work it looks like it is paying off...good job/good luck!

 

[eviction]

my lower back is a fucking asshole, my upper back is good to go though, i can squat as long as i keep the belt tight enough to squeeze out my innards.. good job by the way.. do you even bother with back protection?

 

[slash747]

Damn, that is low, I usually put a bench underneath me and I go till I sit down. You are going more than 90 degrees. Isnt that bad for knees.

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

Nice dude! Got this myself for 2 last week but I had knee wraps on. Keep rockin brother...

 

[wnt2bBeast]

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!! Nice work brutha...Leg day for me tomorrow thats some motivation right there..But i aint nowhere near your strength lol..congrats!!!!

 

[genarr3]

Good job! Nice and deep.

 

[muscleup]

Great job bro...I'm stuck at 405 for 4-5 reps...I got really good legs{genetic} ,but they have not got much stronger in the last couple years...any advice ?

no it's not bad for the knees.

 

[bigmk]

Be safe doing those bro. A couple years back I was doing around 500 and got a hernia for my trouble. I was wearing a belt, but sh@t happens. I was doing heavy leg presses about a month ago and pulled my lower back. Still hurts! I was in pain just watching that video. Great job..looked very strong!

 

[psychedout]

no it's not bad for the knees.

Of all the leg exercises, squats are the only ones that don't hurt my knees.

 

[INNOCENT]

sweet bro...looking like they were light to ya.. you have some nice size too, keep it up

 

[needsize]

thanks guys
I dont use a belt as a surgeon I went to see years ago explained how when it builds up all that pressure in the abdominal wall, the pressure looks for a weak point to get out. If there are any weak areas at all, BANG you have a hernia. So I dropped the belt and am actually stronger for it.
As for the knees, when you go below parallel, the stress shifts from the knees to the hips(which are far stronger), so its actually better for your knees to go all the way down.
Muscleup, I was stuck there for the longest time too. For me the key was very small increments. I started adding 2.5lb plates every week, so 410, then 415, etc. Its not much weight, and you can probably keep matching your reps while you add that every week. I started this cycle doing 405 for 8-10 reps, and have just been adding that small amount, and this is how far its brought me
I forgot to mention, my cycle is enth/eq/deca, and I ran dbol for the first 5 weeks

 

[psychedout]

Im sure you've posted this before, but I wouldn't mind seeing a diet breakdown.

 

[concordsize]

good for you bro... Stay tight!!! And remember aint nobody gonna give you nothin bro you gotta work for it.

E

 

[needsize]

kind of hard to post a diet if you mean my bulking one, as it changes every day. Heres what I ate today
meal 1 - 5 whole jumbo eggs, glass of milk, few pieces of toast
meal 2 - oatmeal and whey shake
meal 3 - post WO shake, 100 carbs 45 grams of whey
meal 4 - steak, pasta, milk
meal 5 1/2 container cottage cheese, milk, PB and J sandwhich, and a few buttertarts for calories(200 each)
meal 6 - same as 5
meal 7 - whey shake in milk before bed(with EFAs)
On top of all this, I am also having 8 tablespoons of EFAs as well, at almost 300 calories per 2 tablespoons, whatever junkfood I can fit in too for calories

 

[rpol]

Damn looking Strong Dude I am only at 325 for my 5x5 and I swear I'm having a stroke after.

 

[Dial_tone]

dang, you can guys can eat. I'm in my non-lifting who gives a crap period. Today I've had a bowl of Frosted Flakes, 5-6 pieces of bacon and a Mtn Dew. It's now 4:30 PM and I keep size just fine eatin like this. LOL. ohh and the roomie is bringin home chinese food.


nice set, ns.

 

[needsize]

its not like I enjoy eating this much, I am actually looking forward to my diet, just to have a break from the forced feedings

 

[bw1]

Needsize, totally agree with you on the belt thing. To me it creates weak link.

 

[needsize]

Needsize, totally agree with you on the belt thing. To me it creates weak link.

Yup, and I love the looks on peoples faces when you back out reps that heavy with no belt

 

[theoak01]

how many cals you pull in approx bro,Im force feeding and Im getting just under 3000 clean cals

 

[Sigmund Roid]

good job, and I like your deepness.

Your back gets a lot less pressure by doing HEAVY ab curls with a machine. You should not be able to do more than 12 reps. That builds a lot of strength in your abs and supports your back considerably.

 

[JP@Ironology]

Nice and deep. Way to sink'm bro!

No 1/4 squats there.

 

[griznuts2004]

No belt here either. My back is soo arched it is not even funny, so focusing on the form kills the need for a belt. Damn, I have these weak ass quads that don't grow to fast. I pound the snot out of them, but they just don't respond. Maybe one day they will be able to handle that kind of weight. Killer clip, awesome job bro!

 

[eviction]

man, it is crazy to see the difference between contest time and mid cycle. You look like a complete different person, ur definately a beast right now, i dont think i'd f with u.

 

[wutangnomo]

Vid is not working for me. Anyone else having this problem??

 

[Mythicalbeing]

Awesome.....you'll have to show me how to post vids.

 

[eviction]

Awesome.....you'll have to show me how to post vids.

if u got good vids i'll try 2 get you set up with a place to host em. pm me

 

[needsize]

oak, I'm getting between 5000-6000 calories per day

 

[theoak01]

my god man,thats alot,Im always taking bites of meals and am only just under 3,you must be in hell

 

[holyguns]

very impressive indeed..i've never seen anyone go that deep w/that kind of weight.

I used to do 500 on hack squat machine,i fully understand that is no comparison
to(free weights...just curious what's your max on a hack machine??

 

[Bravo75]

are you doing cardio needsize?

 

[galaxy]

Great job bro...I'm stuck at 405 for 4-5 reps...I got really good legs{genetic} ,but they have not got much stronger in the last couple years...any advice ?

Yeah, take more drugs!

 

[muscleup]

Yeah, take more drugs!

LMAO...Classic

 

[needsize]

I havent done cardio since Aug, my bf isnt too bad but my lungs are in rough shape with all the weight I gained.

I use hack squat as my last exercise for drop sets, so I only go about 4 plates per side for sets of 10

 

[griznuts2004]

maybe when I can squat 455 pounds my legs will be more than just a few inches bigger than my arms. Hmmmmmmmm....

 

[Mythicalbeing]

Yup, and I love the looks on peoples faces when you back out reps that heavy with no belt

That's insanity bro....and I'm lovin' that you make that crazy place your home.

 

[needsize]

great equipment if you can handle the yuppies

 

[The_Eviscerator]

Bro... I watched a video of you deadlifting 500 for 10 (I think) I would think you would easily plow through 455. Not a knock. I was just impressed with the deadlift post from a while back. The fact it was strapless was sick!

 

[bigmodean]

Great work bro',I broke 300(X8) today for the first time since i hurt my back last august,was stoked too,its gonna hurt for a while Bigmk,thats what sucks about back,didnt believe it until it happened to me,I am with needsize on the belt,was using belt too 3 months ago thinking it would help and got terrible back spasm,collapsed,good thing i was in "rack",not so sure about weight belts after that,so i try to stay away from them,sometimes I wear it snug,not tight,but not usually.

 

[maccer]

amazing mate fair f-ing play

I have always been a better deadlifter than a squatter, usually there is about 100lbs between the two

 

[sorerotators]

Nice job! Nice and deep!

 

[Hollow Man]

Excellent, hope to get my back straightened out soon so I can hit it hard again.

 

[gonelifting]

Is it still working? For some reason I keep getting an error message.

Right click and save? or "open in new window"? or... I`ll do what I have to. I wanna see Needsize. lol
