My legs are fairly strong, or so I thought anyways. Hell, maybe I am a pussy @ 6'0 and 207 and benching almost 4 bills as well. I think I am out of whack maybe??!!

I'm 5'7''. Too be honest I was ashamed to say I only do 315.

But you voted and said you do 350.

it really is all relative, im only young, but im 6' 1'' and 209lbs, and squatting 350lbs is no problem. i train in a really old school bodybuilder/powerlifter gym about 5 miles from where i live. 350lbs is a warm up weight for quite a lot of guys, but the standard would vary greatly from gym to gym

dude you really need to start doing squats.
You will never have muscle if you don't do squats.

tomuchgear · 04-30-2008, 12:17 PM

lol really for me to do squats people would laugh. i really cant do them due to my ankle.

vader · 04-30-2008, 12:20 PM

I know guys who have pins in their ankles and all sorts of stuff yet they still do them.

tomuchgear · 04-30-2008, 12:22 PM

pins would be nice. i shatterd my nevicular bone, and part of my ankle. that was misdiognosed. bout two years after the fact they realized what happend now i have a degenerative bone disease. lots o fun.

yaaaayy!!!

lots of fun....I wish you well.

I sprained my knee ten years ago and it still hurts a bit and is weak. Plus my family just doesnt have the best knees. My knee does feel better after a few days of heavy squats though. Gotta warm up for like ten minutes though.

tomuchgear · 04-30-2008, 12:56 PM

thanks for i am used to it at this point. this all happend after i turned 18 so i have been dealing with it for a long time no worries.

My bad, I thought it was 315 like the other thread.
I'm sure I can get there though, I always excelled at squats.
My legs are big.

min0 lee · 04-30-2008, 03:23 PM

When I first started doing them I didn't want to do them due to my bad knees, turns out it helped my bad knees.

I started using 115 pounds...yes I was scared shitless of the squat.
I started to add 5 pounds then 10 pounds every week. At times I jumped to a quarter if it felt light.
I started to feel confident with the squat and in three months I was able to squat 315.
I was proud of myself that day, from weak knees to muscular legs.
Too bad I had a weak bench during this time.

I find it easier going ass to floor, I notice a lot of people claim they can do such amount of weight yet they go down 2 inches from the squat rack thinking they went parallel.

It's easier on my knees if I continue all the way down rather than just stopping at parallel, I think they would snap.

True, true. 500 does sound so much cooler than 495, though I usually talk in numbers of plates, rather than weight.

That shit was retarded! You must have walked backwards a country mile to find that box. Impressive work, but damn, use a bench next time that slides nearer to where you are unracking the weight. Hate to bail with that kind of weight trying to walk backwards. But anyway, that's a solid front squat.

VERY fun! they take soem getting used to..but if you have a back back or have knee problems...front squats take all that out the window and still make you work your ass off!
