Squat 315x20

*stands and applauds*
No critique from me as I am unqualified to do so, but, I applaud the effort.
Wednesday is my squat day....consider me inspired.

P.S. - That sounded kinda gay. :icon_lol:

How?

Doing 20 rep sets on any muscle with high weight will make it impressive looking.

I was commenting on how his quads must look because of how high the reps are.

 

[Barut]

Wilhelm, I'm up to around 235-240ish now.

Tranqsta, one of the benefits(as I see it) of squatting with a wide stance is the increased recruitment of the hamstrings and glutes. I was actually much more fatigued in my glutes than anywhere else after last nights squats. Overhead squats really work my quads though.

I thought the depth looked fine on those, awesome work.

 

[Grady]

Nice work Barut. Let me guess though - you are right handed?

Pretty obvious, huh? I'm glad I wasn't born a left-handed mutant...

Not that obvious! I just noticed that your power on the right was a slight bit more. I have the same issue.

Man, I hate squats, but it sure feels great when you finish a nice set like that!!

Wow, like everyone else said that was amazing bro. I don't know what it is but whenever I see videos like this it really motivates me to try harder in the gym next time :icon_twis

 

[Mr.Maximal]

nice job, barut!

now as been said, you're a little high. nothing terrible, but a couple inches.
i also think you have more weight in ya for 20 reps. that was a fast 20 rep squat session.

but i can't to that, so props to ya.

 

[Ongy]

Good job. Very impressive. I have done 140kg for 9 reps although I squat to parallel which is slightly deeper than you. However, even if I squat to the depth that you were squatting (which to be fair was pretty close to parallel I thought; I wouldn't have thought that you would have to go much deeper than what you were doing) I would not be able to get anywhere near the 20 reps which you did.

 

[Sonic Reducer]

Very impressive job, way to gut it out.

 

[Tornado]

Good job but I agree with others who mentioned it that you should work on your depth more. If I were you, I'd master getting depth on the wide stance breathing squats, then do a buffer routine, then do another period of breathing squats with a narrower stance and master that form, buffer routine again, then go back to wide stance, etc, etc....otherwise you got the right idea. Good shit

 

[DieselWeasel]

Most of the reps in that video were above parallel, but you weren't very high. Drop the depth a little lower and you'll be good to go.

 

[gruesome]

Barut, if you've got a lifting partner, get him to help you judge depth, you might be surprised what little it takes to reach depth.

 

[graedy]

Or you put a below parallel box under your ass but instead of doing real boxsquats you go down untill you slightly touch the box and then push back up.

 

[Barut]

Thanks for the ideas guys. My brother-in-law lifts with me, but I'm never sure if I can trust his opinion on form and such.

 

[gruesome]

Show him what parallel is(or just below), and ask him to give you squat command every time you reach that depth.
