so what's a good max squat at 155? I can squat 135 for 9-10 reps, 165 for 6-8. I've never tried 215, but I have a suspicion that I can do at least 1 rep, considering I rep'd 6 for 215 on the smith.
but who knows, maybe 215 sucks massive blackman cock for a guy at 155. Input por favor.
max lift theory goes something like this. take you max normal weight (165) and multiply it by the max normal reps (8) you get this number (1320), now again multiply that by the constant (0.03) and you get (39.6) add that to the max normal weight, and that new number (204.6) is a fairly accurate measure of your max.
I have some lifting book around here that has the formula. 205 is a decent number at 155. good job

Yeah, he's strong as hell, but I wonder how many plys that suit is... If it's a triple-ply, it's gonna add a lot to your max. Don't think it is, though. Looks like a single or double.
215lb squat at 155lb bodyweight is great. Not phenomenal, but WAY better than average. You should be proud of yourself, dude. I'm at 155lbs bodyweight, also.
also a 155er here, 215 is good, but more info needed. I assume you are doing parallel free squats with maybe a belt? if so thats pretty good but if you alternate between box squats and free squats you get used to the heavier weight.
no, I do deep squats a couple inches below parallel only. I feel like a bitch if I do anything else. And naw I don't use a belt, those things feel unnatural to me. And oops I meant 225, not 215.Quote:

I weigh 134 and i squat 235 for 5 reps..
at 155 I think you could easily work your way up to 250 pound squat below parallel
Forget the number. Focus on form and the mind-muscle connection. Work the muscle, not your ego.
don't worry, form is very important to me. refer to my reply to willy J. deep squats, a few inches below parallel, pulling yourself slowly into the pocket with your hip flexors, back straight, not curved, chest out, hand position evenly apart, keeping your knees behind the tips of your toes, pushing out through your heels, explode to starting position.Quote:

How old are you and what are your intentions? I didn't start lifting for power until I was 16. Now I'm 29 and I don't lift for power anymore just for endurance and explosiveness. It's ok to have a little ego but never ok to have bad form just to get a couple extra lbs on a lift.
i prefer unconventional weights like tires, stones, chains, ect. here are the weights i usally do lunges and squats with.

wow. Well, I'm 21, my intentions are to increase my explosiveness and leg strength for jiu jitsu. I want to cultivate a wrestlers type of ability to explode out of position. Alongside proper technique of course.Quote:
