5-7 times per week. 545 for singles.
>>34984991
2x a week.
>245x5
>tried 265x1 last session
>went up pretty easy
>load up 275
>tfw didn't even get out of the hole
after reaching snap city for the second time of my life on a fucking deload/light set I had enough
work on form forever and a moment of not being tight/perfect and a disc goes
was my fav lift too
guess I'll have to learn to love bench like everyone else does
Every other day, just started SL
50lbs 5x5
Baby weight, but I'll get there. I had the motivation to lose 60 pounds, and now it's time to use that motivation to have the strength to handle much more than 60 pounds
>>34984991
3x a week, 250x5. I'm 177lbs. I wish my numbers didn't suck after all these years of lifting but at least I'm over my anterior pelvic tilt and increasing my weights without crippling back pain.
3 times a week (heavy twice a week). Doing MADCOW, just hit 275 for 3 reps today
>>34985347
So you put 2.5s on the bar? Please be a hoe
>>34985364
He must have fallen for the SL troll. Fucking Mehdni or whatever his name is.
>>34985364
I use a 10lb bar I have at home right now. I just started lifting a week ago
Week one of SS, 205lb squat. I want 315lb.
315 x 5
once a week
I'm jacked as fuk in the legs, but my bench is only like 160. What the fuck, man.
>>34985366
Male version of this please.
>>34984991
Related question.
What is your highbar ayyyytooogeee squat vs lowbar / parallel squat???
I'm not quite getting 95kg 5x5 for lowbar. Doing lmao1pl8 highbar squats as accessory for 3x8 trying to increase to 3x10 before upping weight.
>>34984991
350lbs and I squat once a month cuz legs too big already
>>34985380
My max squat is 350 (so probably same as you with 315x5)
But my bench is 240. Is 160 a max?
3x a week.
210x5
Finally about to make it to the big boy weights after crawling out from Auschwitz status.
>>34985529
I don't have any bottles, is deodorant okay?
>>34984991
3 times a week, went from doing the bar to lmao2plate in 4 months doing 5x5
>>34985346
That's really depressing, anon. I'm sorry
>>34985955
do it with timestamp
back keeps doing stupid things, I'm switching to low bar squat.
185 on 5x5 3 times a week
Currently 4 times a week, doing smolov jr
Never tested 1rm but last sets were 10x3x105kg high bar ATG
About five times in two weeks if you count front squats.
Back: 395lbs for 5 reps.
Front: 255lbs for 3 reps.
2-3 times a week
154kg high bar/ATG
not sure about low bar but around 180 I think
bodyweight is 77
>>34984991
5 days a week.
4x12
currently 30kg x2 (that would be ~1.5 plates x2 in merkin metrics)
when I don't squat, alternate reverse lunges 10rep (x each leg) x 5 sets w/ 24 kg in each hand or walking lunges (8rep x each leg x 4 sets w/ 8 or 10 kg in each hand)
>>34985351
>I wish my numbers didn't suck after all these years of lifting but at least I'm over my anterior pelvic tilt and increasing my weights without crippling back pain.
It's more important to perform a proper squat without any pain than performing a IMMA SUPERMAN squat with pain and a one way ticket to snap city
>>34985346
how does one snapcity in squat? are you retarded?
>>34984991
4 times a week since i started smolov, 396(180kg) was my max when i started, hoping to do ~410-420 next week
>>34984991
BRETHEREN...

I want to squat at home but I don't have a rack, just a bar and weights
What's a safe way to squat more weight without having to worry about cleaning it every time I do a set/dropping It by accident and breaking stuff? I feel like I'm only squatting 2/3 of what I should be for reps, never get DOMS in my legs
>>34984991
>How often do you all squat? What are your numbers?
literally never.
my thighs are pretty proportional, and i don't want huge t-rex quads, i find them unaesthetic.
i mostly do plyo and hip thrusts instead.
but i can thrust 280, which is pretty intermediate, but i am still doing linear progression
i will bust out some 1.5pl8 atg front squats because they are fun for me to do, but i try to limit my squatting movements to cleans and snatches (i don't take oly lifting srsly, i just enjoy preforming them)
>>34984991
Twice a week
tuesday low back squats
saturday front squats

>I want to squat at home
>What's a safe way to squat more weight without having to worry about
I know that 4chins is filled with autismals and wannabe elite athletes who believe they can fully avoid eye contact with other human beans in a gym - since they know everything and who needs a PT when we have the interwebs? amirite lelelelelel -
But no, always go to a gym and have someone else check your form and give you tips you may follow or not. Even PTs with an actual degree check out each other constantly.
The only exception is if you have some gymbro lifting with you at home - but that's not your case is it

>>34986799
>>I fell for the "squats will make me a T-Rex" meme
i squatted for a few months, and the noob gains alone brought my thighs to as thick as i want them to be.
i don't want huge thighs to detract from my ass or make my lower end more masculine (n-no homo)
pic is what i am aiming for (with slightly more slender thighs) but i am pretty sure is not attainable natty
>>34986883
actually upon re-examination of the picture, that is about how developed my thighs look when i flex them.
my glutes are tiny as fuuuark in comparison, tho.
>>34986835
How long you been squatting for and what is your training typically like?
>>34986883
Ha-ha man that's gay as fuck, good luck with your endeavors.

>>34984991
Once a week. 3pl8 for 1, 120 for 5. Been lifting for a year but I did SL before this.
I have a question concerning squatting.
I used to be able to do 120kg for 5 reps but low bar. But for the the past 4 month i've haven't been able to squat due to back pain from APT, Ive also stopped deadlifiting.
To top it all i've been cutting during this time.
I switched to high bar squats this week but had to go back down to 60kg, my legs and my especially my butt have gotten really small now.
Should I start squatting 3X a week, with just squats as the begining excercise before every session on M W F ?
2x a week,
4plate
>>34987244
if you cut expect your strength gains to stop. Just maintain the weight until you start bulking again.
>>34986883
That's a nice ass...
>>34985366
Eww, Peroni. Disgusting.
>>34986883

The fuck do you have against peroni? It's a pretty standard tasting lager.
>>34986883
>would tap dat ass(no homo)
I still have no idea how i should do my squats, i decided to just do atg high bar from now on for that glute activation, doing ayylmao1pl8, my knees still feel weird from yesterday, should i be concerned?
>>34984991
4-5 times per week.
lowbar 62x5
highbar 56x5
front 49x5
pistol 9 reps bw
sissy 12 reps holding two 8kg dumbbells
Not much but having no test makes it pretty hard.
>>34988738
Height 5'11 bw 71kg
I have my own goals and smolov seemed like a fun routine to try.
>>34984991
3 times a week 140 lbs 3x7
a-am I gonna make it?
>>34988797
atg high bar is probably the leading cause of injury in squats. there's just so much that can go wrong
>>34988866
like? and how do i prevent it?
>so busy with work and college that i keep skipping the days i squat
feels bad man. thinking of just trying to work legs into the other days
Twice a week, 5'11.
160kg-180kg depending on if i worked that day or not
>>34988840
>62x5
Once a month
2 plate for 3 is the heighest I've ever gotten.
>>34988860
Anything sub-2pl8's isn't anything special. You'll make it if you keep adding weight every workout or every other workout atleast
>>34984991
3x
345.
>>34984991
5 times a week 490
>>34984991
Twice a week
455 max
what type of squats do you all do?
Anyone have trouble activating the Glutes on these movements that should put Gluteals to use??
Also, becuase of above do you have anterior pelvic shift or lordosis because of less muscular density in posterier region??
>>34989825
62kg x 5 reps
2x-3x week
160lb bw
290 for 6
>>34990139
I had a lot of trouble activating my glutes on squats. I have to really focus on the hip thrust and that's how I do all my warm ups. The movement ends with like an air hump
>>34984991
Twice a week.
Just finished a workout and up to 295 for 5 reps.
Know it's nothing special but I'm happy with it considering I was doing 135 a couple of months ago.
>>34990139
do more foam rollers/stretches, stay more hydrated throughout the week, warm up your hips/glutes daily and your glutes will be better
sitting in a chair all day is the worst thing possible for your glutes
>>34985963
Squats is where 5x5 really shines imo.
I've been steady going up with them changing to 3x3 every now and then.
My diddlys, ohp etc always get a hard stall after good progress but squats always go up :D
225 8 sets of 5
>>34984991
whose arm is that? if they were to turn their arm around give a thumbs up it would be a thumbs down
>>34986883
so how do you increase your ass if your not gonna squat ?
>>34991238
hip thrust/bridge, but it comes at the cost of being looked at in the gym.
2 times a week.
230 for 4x8.
my squat was way behind for a long time cause I couldn't get the form down. It is still low but I am making progress
>>34991279
mm
i figured those would train the same muscles.
what am i doing wrong if i feel like i did back extensions after hip thrusts ?
il probably drop squat from ss on the deadlift day and do hip thrusts after my compounds.
>>34984991
I haven't had a regulated training regime for the past year. There are weeks where I don't squat at all. Fuck, there have been three months this year where I didn't do a single squat.
Current every day max is 375 ass to calves, 405 to parallel.
3x/ week
100kg 5x5
I did get to 110kg but i shifted my hips to one side when squatting and began to hurt my left hip flexor from it
De-loaded back to 60kg and worked my way back up with better form (still not perfect). Hopefully i can finally get to 3pl8 squat now like ive always dreamed.
>>34988866
>trying atg high bar is probably the leading cause of injury in squats
Fixed that for you.
Fucking inflexible noobs trying to be hot shit.
Here's one of the reasons why SS starts beginners off with lowbar squats.
>>34991486
If you feel back it means you're pushing up with your back/arching your back. Thrust only at your pelvis, try to keep neutral back.
Either that, or your lower back is weak as shit and can't stabilize.
Just keep going you'll figure it out.
Hip thrusts are beast once you can do them with some weight on the bar.
>>34986770
greg o'gallagher plz
Usually 2x a week
Working towards 4x5 225 lbs, I can always get the first set and sometimes second but I can barely get 2 on the last set. Max is 255.
Same for front squats, except I use 185 for my sets and my max is 225.
>>34993048
post a pic of your butt senpai
>>34993499
I don't post pictures of myself online because I don't need validation or critique from Internet strangers. I also just like privacy and hate photos of myself.
But I can say I've been doing BB hip thrusts for ~2 months and the difference is astounding. I really feel glutes when I squat and the size of my ass has increased quite a bit.
I use the thick pink Squat Sponge so the metal bar doesn't dig into my hips. I do about 135lbs hip thrusts but I'm shooting for 315
2-3 times a week. Just hit 205 lbs on front squat
2x a week. I do 260lbsx3x5 @ 141 lbs BW

1 day for back squat, 1 day for front squat
i can do 325x5, but i feel like absolute shit afterwards. Pulled my trap once doing it. I just want to hit 4 plate :\ no where neat that right now.
currently dancing between 200 and 210 lbs BW.

Went from lmao1.5pl8 to 3 pl8 singles in a month but the booty gains are glorious

Too much weight on the bar, most likely.

help
Twice a week, 2 plate 5x5. I'm also a cyclist, and of late sneak a bit of leg curl in on non-squat days.
>>34986799
>defending PTs
never met a PT who didn't give misleading and dangerous "contemporary" advice.
Once a week, 220kg wrapped.
130kg 4x5.
3/wk 125lb 5x5.
2 months into SL and I've been stuck at this fucking weight for over a month now even with deloading and working back up because my form is garbage.
>tfw bench is going to surpass squats
>>34984991
Twice a week. 120 kg ATG paused
How low is your squat? Bo honest now.
I 3*3 a clean 100kg with 4 form but higher than that i tend to look more like 3 i think.
>>34998414
never met a /fit/izen who gave actual sound advices. On the other side, I've met PTs and gym seniors with experience who helped me to improve a lot - with correct advices on a proper form.
Maybe it's just murrica that's filled with PTs recruited from the worst crossfit dungeons, dunno
