Official Summer Squat Competition

Winter my best all time squat was 475 in belt and knee wraps. Also the team name is 'Devil's Minions'...in any case I'll start a log for out team.
 
Props to winter for setting this competition in motion.

Good luck in losing weight and setting PRs Zero.
 
i can't find the Team Urban training log... has it been made yet?

and go us! i'm fucking pumped!
 
I give that team name a C+

Should have been Team Go Fuck Yourselves like I suggested.

That's totally inappropriate. my catchphrase is "Get Fucked." Team Get Fucked would have been cool, but I couldn't have made an appropriately titled log due to forum guidelines on profanity. Team Pump has an appropriately retro and tongue-in-cheek aspect to it. I think it deserves more than a C+. and at least it's not some lame psuedo-hardcore "death march minions" bullshit.
 
I just want to say that despite the rough start, I'm REALLY excited about this contest. I could really use this motivation to work on my squat. It's kind of embarrasing that I can't hit 405 yet, it's equally embarrasing I can't close the three or bend the red. Do you guys think that KTA, Heavy bending, and the smolov all at the same time might be too much?

Urban, I honestly don't think it is enough. Add in an olympic lifts day and tabata intervals and then maybe you will be good.
 
Urban I have the same problem. Just focus on 1 thing or you'll burn out. Heavy bending is equivalent to heavy deadlifting...this is why I could never progress much without burning out...ditto for grippers...

I have noticed for me intermittent heavy training on grippers and bending produced the best results...

I am lucky if I can bend a blue now...plus I can only bend DU....DO has pwned me...I can barely bend a green DO...makes no fucking sense.....
 
Thanks much Devil. So I find a max and then work on it, that's it, right?

I'm thinking a mini smolov would be good to work out all the potential gains I have.

I may just work on form with some g5's and 60d's. the 60 pennis fold easy for me now and I have a whole box of them. Maybe some work with the 2.5 but grippers are gonna have to take a back seat for a bit. I don't think they'll suffer much, it hasn't taken much to maintain gripper strength.
 
ah this is gay, i went to mexico for a week and didnt get drafted. can i be an alternate or something?
 
I am sure you can...just post a 1rm and get cracking...I already drafted Cbeeby late so I dont think taking you too would be fair to other teams...but you can appeal to Fatty, Barut, Standard, or Urban to get on one of their teams...

*wonders exactly when it was Urban lost his mind*

Come on Oib, be serious, you know that's going to be too much on your system, do a squat specialisation if you're serious about getting 405 and put everything else into maintenance mode.

Smolov is fun, do smolov.
