What's up guys. I have been having a problem increasing strength on my squats. I am 5'9", ~165(25 years old), and I have been working out for about 6 years. It seems that ever since I have started working out seriously, I have not noticed a major change in my squat poundages. My heavy set is only 225lbs for 6 reps. My legs, however, are actually very strong. For example, on the Cybex 45 degree leg press at the gym, I can do 11 45 pound plates on each side, for a good 6 reps (going deep, all the way down to my chest, with no assistance from my arms or a spotter). I always impress people when I do leg press, but when I do squats, I embarass myself. I do legs basically once every 5-6 days, and I usually do 4 movements (not including calves). I quit doing squats on every workout because of the embarassment. When I do them, I usually do 5-6 sets, with 3 of them not being all out (muscular failure) sets. Does anyone have any suggestions?
