Yet another PR thread! A BIG step towards that 500lb squat

[Tweakle]

As a garage trainer I don't get out much, but seeing as my motivation was a little low I decided to visit the gym for my leg day.

Squats

405 for 5
425 for 4
475 for one! PR baby, raw like sushi.
495 couldnt get it out of the hole.

I was training with one of the gyms PL team who said I was at least 2" below parallel so I'm majorly psyched about that

For assistance work I hit the leg press for a 6/6/6 drop set followed by a couple of sets of lunges, with 135 & calf raises to finish.

thanks for reading

Awesome! Great job on the squats. 500 will be yours soon!

 

[Serea]

Excellent.

 

[slobberknocker]

Nice job. I'd think about adding in some more posterior chain stuff, like gm's, pullthroughs, and glute ham raises, etc.

 

[Tweakle]

Yup, good suggestion there. How about doing a few sets of GM's on my deadlift day after DLs? (along with lats, shrugs & rowing) Or would you reccomend doing them on the day I squat instead

Thanks guys!

Beast you'll be squatting big weights very soon if you focus on the lift the way you do everything else you do, that 315 will be a warmup in just a matter of months.

My legs have blown the fuck up doing the low rep stuff, all the high rep squatting I religiously did for months didn't add anything in the way of size or strength but I've gone from like 26" to 28" thighs since I started kicking it with the low reps.
