Can you squat 350lbs?

[min0 lee]

I agree...not to be a dick...just seems some of these claims are a bit much. I can squat basically PARALLEL ONLY at about 405, but to do ass to floor sets @ 315 for numerous sets and numerous reps, I couldn't do it I don;t think. 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.

 

[Hench]

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]

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

 

[vader]

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

 

[tomuchgear]

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]

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]

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.

 

[Doublebase]

I find it easier going ass to floor,.

Agreed.

Well I'm a faithful BIG SQUAT TUESDAY

 

[cou9816]

Well I'm a faithful BIG SQUAT TUESDAY guy. I have been doing squats for some time. My best to date is 550. It's not near what I would like it to be my goal by the end of the summer is a 600+ squat. I will keep yall updated on the progress

 

[Seanp156]

405 3x2 recently

405lbs x 2 1st set
405lbs x 2 2nd set
405lbs x 2 3rd set
365lbs x 3 4th set
365lbs x 3 5th set

 

[Brydges]

you shoulda put the cookies on each side to make it an even 500

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

<->

 

[Brydges]

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.

<->

oh yeah...don't like regular squats..

front squats are SICK! here's a video of my personal best... 455 front squat on a parallel box. i know some of you guys like to see a show...

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!

 

[tomuchgear]

You squatted 455 for 7 reps?

 

[GOtriSports]

I used to do 500 for two sets of 5 after about 4 work sets a little lower. That was ten years ago when I actually worked in the gym and had free nitrotech shakes. I went up to 315 lately and thats the highest I've been in about five years. Never really been much of a fan of real heavy lifting.

I feel the same way. Real heavy lifting is not my thing. I do like strength gains, but at the same time I already look fairly big and I am only repping 215 3x10 sets. If I was doing something like 500 I would probably be massive and I don't really like the HUGE body builder look.

yep since june i have been busting my ass to get my strength up. with a killer training plan in place, plus some great prohormones here the past couple weeks. my strength keeps goin on the up. trieng to get to five hundred. i barely made the final rep. my legs were freaking shaking so bad.

 

[readyformore]

yeah... did squats once and can do that lol

 

[Merkaba]

Well, you need to keep trying. Do goblet squats or something til you get better form. Squats need to be in your program unless you have a bad back or something similar.

wasent talking about your 455 or whatever i was talking about 350... i cant do 455... thats to much for me... cant even do it once

 

[Hoglander]

depends on the gym you go to..if you go to a powerlifting gym 500lbs is norm...

if you go to a corporate gym or ymca.. 315 makes you a god. IT's all relative!

YESS!!!!

I'm a god X 1.285 for reps! Do gods vomit because I have twice in a year doing squats??
