P-funk's 225/50 rep squat??

[Bakerboy]

Who want's to see P attempt to squat 225lbs for 50 reps? Personally, I think his time at camp took the wind out of his sails. IM members do you think he can/ will do it or will he get crushed by the bar like a girly man.

I think he can do it if he puts his mind to it.

lol....I was training my high rep squats at camp but my lack of food there really hindered my chances of the 50 rep squat. I will try it one of these days. I know I can't do it now. I am down 5lbs from when I left for camp because the food was so bad. Energy is shit.

 

[CowPimp]

I'd like to see him pull that off. That would be badass.

Well as you would say: start eating!

 

[P-funk]

I'll try and get on it.

 

[PWGriffin]

I can do it like 10 times....how badass is that?? Pretty badass....

50x on squat would be 10x more exausting than 50x on bench.

shit you couldn't get 25 lbs for 15 reps. LOL bad food has a way to "lower energy levels". Maybe LOL should be LEL

 

[P-funk]

it was that the bad food was so bad that i wasn't eating anything.......lol

20x!

100x


I did a 10 rep squat one time, and I like had an out of body experience.

You must not unload on squat much? I like dropping down to a 10-8-6 workout every now and then to unload.

does doing a set with 50 reps really do anything beneficial?
obviously muscle endurance but do you think that would be a good program ?

A good way to make yourself puke.

NO

it is not a program as much as it is a 'gut check' and a test of mental strength.

This sounds like something really stupid to get yourself injured. At least youll have the glory of getting the 'title' i guess...

Not if he trains for it. I think he has been doing higher rep squatting to prepare. Besides P has super human strength, all the Mods do. They can leap from high buildings and crush rocks with their bare hands. Squatting 225 50 times, no problem. Besides, it's not for us, mere mortals, to question.

not if you train up to it. preparation is the key.

If you can do 315 for 20 reps, you could do 225 for 50 right?

Not necessarily. Predictions of what you are capable of regarding repetition maximums get foggier as you move down the intensity spectrum.

What about 1500 one leg step ups with 250lbs? -

How do you do two leg stepups without jumping? That's my question.

 

[P-funk]

how about a sub 6min mile.

lets just get a list of some really good achievements here (things that possibly could be attainable if you really busted your ass for it. obviously not anything impossible like 2000lb squat or somethign stupid).

I would say yes, but it depends on your training. I did 365 for close to 20 and then trained a few weeks and did 225x50. I think the power didnt matter it was the rep work at 225 that made the difference.

 

[Bakerboy]

High rep step-ups holding moderately heavy DB's would crazy hard. At 50 reps a side your heart would explode. Cow you seem to be the step-up king around these parts maybe you should try it. I don't know what you would use weight wise, you would need a killer grip.

At least with the run it would be over quick.

For strength or endurance?

 

[P-funk]

anything. just some sort of bad as athletic (strength or endurance) feet.

I'm the stepup king? Haha. I think the most I've ever used is like 135-155, something in there. Nothing spectacular. That was with a barbell.
