Squat PR

[androjunkie]

I got 345 last night! I'm well on my way to 405. I went deep too, a little past a 90 degree angle. Once I hit 405 I think I'll stay there I don't want to wind up with bad knees later on in life. That was my 4th set by the way. Then after that I repped 235 for 20 reps.

sigh to the not going past 405 because you dont want bad knees

If you squat properly you wont have bad knees

It's just that it seems like all I ever hear is about all the injuries caused by extreme heavy weights. I know good form will help prevent that but I still worry about it.

I don't doubt that. But unless someone can convince me that I won't wind up with arthiritis, or a torn ligament, etc. I won't allow myself to do it.

I have arthritis and I've had torn ligaments. None of these came from lifting, they happened prior to. Squatting, with good form, has helped my knees tremendously.

i haven't gone past 315 on squats in a while. form only does so much for joints -- sometimes you need the 'lightweight babeeeeeeeyyy!'
