Gentlemen (and lady), I have gathered you here today because there are several factions interested only in your failure and the time has come to rise up and crush them. Team roster- Captain: Urban Starting #: 315 Current #: 315 Pick 1: SmashiusClay Starting #: 330 Current #: 330 Pick 2: ratman201 Starting #: 255 Current #: 255 Pick 3: bad_coupon Starting #: 220 Current #: 220 Pick 4: Wild Dan Hibiki Starting #: 242x5 Current # 242x5 Pick 5: WinterIsComing Starting #: 315 Current #: 315 Pick 6: Merrill Starting #: 375 Current #: 375 Pick 7: Blonde Warrior Starting #: 365 Current #: 365 Pick 8: McJim Starting #: 231 Current #: 231 Post your goal weight in your first post and keep track of your squat work in the log. Your welcome letters, orientation schedules and fruit baskets are on their way. Coffee and ammonia are down the hall to the left.
I'm hoping to hit 405. Right now I do a push/pull/squat routine. I alternate on my squatting days doing a 5x5 f. squat and working up to heavy singles & PRs in b. squat one week and then doing a 5x5 b. squat and working up to heavy singles in f. squat the next week. I also do some overhead squats but those are light and more about learning form atm. Its been about a month since I tried to set a new PR on squats. I'm going for some tommorrow and hope to get up to at least 330.
I'd like to get 315 before Sep, 22 which is a 95lb progress. Possibly more if there are roids in these fruit baskets.
I want to hit 300 by the time the comp ends. 2x BW would be nice, we will see. So how should I go about it? My squat was always hard to bring up.
My squat has always lagged too. I've been alternating heavy front squats one week with high rep back squats the next week, and when I stay consistent with it, it's worked pretty well. I am going to continue this throughout the contest. Goals for the contest: 405(+90lbs) next goals in the gym: front squat 250 (+25), back squat 225 x 20. Speaking of which, it's time to go to the gym!
When I used WSSB my DL and bench and OHP came up a lot but by squat never got past 275, and that was only once, I never hit it again, so I'm guessing I didn't have the right depth anyways. My front squat came up a lot when I was doing a lot of O-lifts, with lots of singles doubles and triples, plus speed work and lots of stuff from the bottom at a dead stop. I think I'll try some of that shit.

I didn't see Fear Factory listed. He posted in the original thread with a 360 1RM. Put him on our team. http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f13/o...-competition-786459/index15.html#post23290704

THAT'S what I'm talkin about! Popeye would have this terrorist shit wrapped up for the cost of a can of spinach.
My goal - 140kg x 5 by December 31st (+30kg) Current goal - Just to get over my plateau of 110kg x 5. Geting it to 115kg-120kg by the end of June sounds realistic i think. 115kg x 5 was my PR before i left Sydney and came to Japan
I'm gunning for 400lbs, everyone not on Smolov should get it started. The good news is yesterday I found my squat groove for the first time in almost a year, every rep felt smooth, easy and clean as fuck. No worse than your grammar. If you want an 8th my training partner wants in on this, he's still making noob gains and is on a smolov cycle with me, if the guys doesn't add 70lbs to his squat in the next few weeks I'm going to beat him with a hammer. BTW I cleaned up the first post and put gaps init so it didn't give everyone eye cancer.
links to smolov? im doing 5 x 5 squats once a week, sldl 5 x 5 another day and single leg squats/lunges on day 3. hopefully that'll tip me over my plataeu
