Squat pr! 455 get's ownt

[Tweakle]

Man I love this forum, so much positive energy, so many strong mofo's showing how it should be done. I swear since I started reading I've never been so psyched for my wo's (I train alone most of the time unless it's chest day then I can always find someone to workout with )

anyway I warmed up with 135,225,315 for 5 then 405 for 2 and jumped right into it

455 for one I know I'm good for 465 as well which is awesome, I'm going to nail 5 plates by the end of the year I can smell it. I noticed from the pic I lean forward a lot on the power squat, does that look excessive?

I tried 495 but couldnt get it thru the sticking point.

Then 405 for 6

I finished with 3 x 3 bottom pause squats with 315, high-bar, ass to floor. Fookin horrible but I love the way they make my legs feel.

Tried to setup a farmers walk but it was dark and I didnt want to risk slipping on the wet grass so I did a set of 8 with 500 on my trapbar.

Thanks for reading

That's a hell of a squat bro. Great work.

Looks good from here... but don't look at the floor- look straight ahead...

Excellent job brutha. Squat looked to be right at parallel to me. Nice job man.

You are motivating.

great squat, man.
welcome to the boards.

 

[t3c]

damn dude! that is a very impressive squat

what exercises do you do that you felt helped bring your squat to the level it is at now?

 

[Tweakle]

thanks fellas! I dont normally like posting workouts but I had to pimp this one because I've been gunning for 455 for a couple of months now. My last max was 435 so thats a major jump.

longarms - thanks dude I'm sure I'll outstay my welcome eventually but this is the best training board I've found, no egos and no real negativity. Its great

Hammer - I actually hit the supports on the way down so I think I went an inch below parallel (which is fine by me)

becoming - yup, I'll do that next time. I ALWAYS forget to keep my head up when I squat and I think it's costing me some serious leverage out the hole.

t3c thank bro! The fork-to-mouth lift no doubt

the only leg exercise I've really done since I got back into lifting is the squat & some front squatting every month or 2. hopefully adding box squats and some ham/calf work is going to keep me going towards 500.

great lift and as RAW as it gets. No shoes, no belt, no wraps. sweet! karma...

congrats on the pr man..hellova job..keep up the hard work

 

[bigstve12]

500 is yours...especially if you star hitting some hammys

awesome work on the PR brotha. tb

 

[thebrute]

oh just a few things that might help from what you've said
keep your head up and chest up on the squat and i think this may help with your leaning foward issue..but from the pic it looks like that isn't the issue. keep workin hard brotha and 500 is yours!!! tb
