4/11 1x315. Heavy

315 for 5. Standard high bar, below parallel.
Felt strong, I’ve gradually worked up to this weight, it’s a PB.
In the past I’ve topped out at 225 then just added reps due to anxiety from a past devastating lower back injury. But with age/maturity & focusing on form & keeping tight I’ve found new confidence in slowly pushing the weight up.
Surprisingly the lower body is moving the weight with confidence. It’s the feeling of the bar on my shoulders that’s messing with my brain.

 

[Timo Keskitalo]

4/20 3x315. A bit high I think, bad video angle. But anything goes here.

 

[Hung]

I just get 100 kg x 8 reps, with lb. I think i would practice lb squat for awhile.

 

[Boris Bachmann]

Awesome work everyone - I'll try to get everything updated this weekend!

 

[william bad butt]

Couple weeks ago I did an easy 5 reps at 245lb on a SSB bar. Not sure if that counts for the "225 category".

Regards

Eric

That's a deload for short walk?

Thank you! I'll have to check unless he pops in and reminds me!

Fixed - thanks again!

 

[Boris Bachmann]

Pretty amazing! I don't know if I'll ever reach 91 años, let alone be able to still squat 100kg for reps...

 

[silveraw]

Did 320 for 4 today!

Aaron Silvernale on Instagram: "My top squat set today, I’m moving along nicely with it."

[Boris Bachmann]

NICE - I'll try to update the numbers later today!

Why not edit this into the first post?

 

[David Mary]

I did 135 for 20 as part of my warm up the week before I joined SF. I'll video a set with 225 next week. This sounds like fun!

 

[Boris Bachmann]

That is what I do, but I also have Facebook numbers to make sure I'm not forgetting. It doesn't take time really - I just don't like mistakes and overlooking people.

 

[David Mary]

Understood. Just thought it would be convenient to have it in one spot all the time for handy reference. It's awesome you're running this! I didn't realize it was you until I saw your video of 225 x 10. I started watching your videos it feels like a decade ago!
