Squatting Every Day

...

>how much do you squat?
Daily max around 425, PR 455 lbs
>what style?
High bar back squat
>how frequently?
4 days per week, one of which is paused
>what shoes?
Nike Romaleo II
>your form on a scale of 1-10?
Nobody's perfect, but probably 8 or 9
>what is your goal?
Just general strength and health. Want to stay lean and strong to age gracefully.

>450
>low bar
>4x a week
>weird flat nikes
>8
>done

Used to squat everyday for about 2 months straight. Got me from 225 single to 315 for 5 in a short amount of time. Only problem was I strictly did low bar and neglected hamstrings so it was a bad outcome for my knees. Remember accessories.

but low bar is better for your posterior chain development than high bar

Barely if at all actually

220kg
Atg?
When I feel like it
No shoes
Idk good I guess because I don't feel pain
What do you mean what is my goal?

>355
>3x a week (w/ different set/rep/weights). Sometimes I work in front squats for times I feel I simply need to maximize quad Gains to push squat gains
>romaleos
>8 (where 10 is literally perfect form tailored to your anatomy)
>415 short term, 600+ is a lifetime goal.

If you can squat 285x5 you can probably get 315. I did 3x5x295 the other day and hit 315 for a single after with no prob

>>how much do you squat?
460 low-bar hipcrease below knees, 400 high bar hamstrings on calves
>>what style?
high bar for strength building, low bar for PRs and good feels
>>how frequently?
once a week. Can't recover properly if I do it more often.
>>what shoes?
The cheapest sneakers I can find or barefoot
>>your form on a scale of 1-10?
8 if I'm properly peaked and slept well, 2-4 if it's a day I know everything will be shit but wife drags me to the gym anyways.
>>what is your goal?
Build up my quads, hams and calves, so the bum knee I inherited from my father will not fail me any time soon.

>>how much do you squat?
315lb is most i've tried
>>what style?
was high bar, recently discover low bar feels better for me tho
>>how frequently?

>your form on a scale of 1-10?
6-7 I would say
>what is your goal?
405 in two years top

>low bar
>shoe with a heel
Interesting. Have you ever squatted in Chucks? Any remarks on the difference? Seems to me that the raised heel goes better w/ high bar but I am no expert

>how much do you squat?
75lbs!

-3
>what is your goal?
145lbs

you're a grill, right?

yes.

i'm trying, though.

good, now post tits or GTFO

Stop being a pussy. Your knees arent blown out you just like saying that because you dont feel like training legs. Also because if you did people would start questioning your VA disability welfare, and losing that would make all your buddies in dsyfunctional veterans shirts/DTOM hats respect you less.

Shut up and squat

>Started squatting every day

I see no reason to do so.

I'm doing a slightly modified SS routine where I'll high bar squat (at 325lb for 3x5) first and third day, but then I'll front squat (at 235lb for 5x5) on the middle day.

I only see everyone in this thread doing one form of squat, which is making me think I'm doing something wrong...

Looks pretty cool. Wednesday front squats are a good way to recover/give your posterior chain a break. Quasi-Texas Method

>>how much do you squat?
around 160kg/350lbs haven't really maxed out for year.
>>what style?
high bar ATG
>>how frequently?
3 times a week, Modified Russian squat cycle. pic related.
>>what shoes?
Romaleos 2 only on front squats, back squats with flat boxing shoes
>>your form on a scale of 1-10?
9 on back squat and 7 on heavy front squats
>>what is your goal?
3pl8s raw for 5 reps on front squat. Long term max for back squat 200kg/440lbs, short term 4pl8s for 2 reps raw

why are guys that only do low-bar squats always such huge faggots?

>how much do you squat?
265 1RM
>what style?
High bar, only slightly below parallel
>how frequently?
Once a week, front squat once a week as well
>what shoes?

>your form on a scale of 1-10?
5 - 6 probably
>what is your goal?
Nail form so my knees don't explode
315 for 1 by mid August.
Trying to cut hard at the moment because I am fatfuck so I can't see my squat going up, will most likely drop.
Hopefully I will have dropped 30 lbs by March, maybe try to drop an additional 5 - 7 lbs by April.
>tfw eternal fat dyel

>how much do you squat?

>squat 455 at my first meet 4 months from now

315x5
Low bar just barely below parallel
Twice a week
Nike metcons
Like 4/10 but improving
Fix form issues then get to 4plate

it really isn't, the mechanics of any squat have the hamstring shortening at one joint (during hip extension) while simultaneously lengthening at the other joint (due to knee extension) - lowbar and highbar are both poor hamstring exercises

demands on the glutes are similar in both

lowbar is just more mechanically efficient that's it, no huge difference in muscle recruitment

a true brainlet I see

High Bar > Low Bar

can anyone convince me otherwise?

How do you get rid of butt wink on the high bar squats? Sometimes my lower back hurts.

why do so many people here do atg? how is it better than just going below parallel?

>inb4 DYEL

Put the bar a little lower
Squat into your hip flexors

>how much do you squat?
Hit a new (computed) 1RM max today by doing 16x225.

>what style?
Standard back squats, absolutely ass-to-grass.

>how frequently?
I do squats 2 days on and 1 day off. I tried doing them every day for about a month (ended a couple weeks ago) but I think it's good to get a bit of recovery time and it's hard on my CNS to do squats on the same day that I also do both bench press & deadlifts.

>what shoes?
crosstrainers intended for tennis; nothing special, but good ankle stability.

> your form on a scale of 1-10?
Pretty damn good, I think - 9? I have very flexible hips so I have no ROM issues. Last 2 reps can be a bit dodge as I lean forward too much.

Still grinding SL 5x5

at 80kg

front squat, since I'm too fat and immobile for back squats.

bare feet. no lifting shoes fit me.

form is probably 4-6. During last sets it starts to break.

I don't really have squat goal, just as much as I can.

Brehs, I don't know for how long the rippman will be able to carry me. I think I am losing my noob gains.

why are you doing front paused if you're following the ripper?

Because I wan't to get into oly lifting after I get my squat high enough. I think front squats are far more important. And paused just comes natural. I didn't realise I was doing paused squats until I saw it on the internet. I hope I am not messing too much with the rippoid's teachings.

>front squat is more important than backsquat if youre into oly
no its not. you need to be proficient at it but in no way its more important than backsquatting in building overall leg strength

can squat 300kg x5

Jk i had some back pain last time so like 4? Idk it wasnt a sharp pain felt more like muscles working
>>what is your goal?
I actually think the squat is pretty retarded and that big quads look realy bad.. I put my effort into the deadlift

- 65kg 3x5 today, still progressing well
- Highbar/Oly
- every other day
- Adidas power perfect II
- 5
- 70kg, 100kg, 140kg, 180kg, 210kg, I want to get to a lean 70kg bw currently at 66.5

op's pic is an olympic weightlifter bro, can you see what kind of squat he does? start doing back squat you already spent enough time doing front and im pretty sure your form is iffy as well especially if you're not lifting with weightlifting shoes.
also, you always want to front squat atg, since it mimics the bottom of the hole of both olympic events.
good luck and do your power cleans if youre doing ss. (i would even recommend hang power cleans if you want to get into oly later since it helps you learn to dip under the bar quicker than the full power clean)

Whats the point in oly lifting?
Always thought thr movements were pretty random and dumb

>European Weightlifting Championships

You're retarded, just so you know.

You're implying back squat is the most important strength builder in weightlifting. This is wrong. Front squat is more important and trained at a higher frequency because it has the greatest carryover to snatch and clean. Because of the need for the torso to be more upright in catching the bar, a greater degree of knee flexion occurs than a regular back squat. This requires greater knee extension in order to stand up and the quads are the primary extender of the knee. The quads are most efficiently trained with the front squat, not the back squat. Back squat is an accessory lift in weightlifting training. I have personal experience from this as I train weightlifting five times a week and backsquat maybe once or twice a week but front squat four times a week. My coach was a member of the Bulgarian national team and lifted at the european weightlifting championships. So not just some broscientist on YouTube.

You're also wrong with the statement that "you need to squat ATG since it mimics the bottom of the hole". This is true if your body is made like this. Not everyone has the hip mobility to sit down that deep. Not eveyone need to sit that deep. The taller you are, the stronger your pull is, and you're more likely to be able to catch the bar higher. Several lifters catch the snatch and clean barely below parallel. This varies between every lifter due to difference in hip structure and limb length. For example: Lu Xiajun, world champion and olympic champion in the 77kg weightclass has a very deep snatch and squat clean, he's an asian manlet, while someone like Lasha Talakhadze, world champion and olympic champion in the +105kg class (and who's also almost two meters tall european) catches his lifts in a much higher position.

for the back squat? heavier weight so more overall strength, having the bar on your back helps with your pulls since you're getting in the habit of maintaining your back angle more so than the front squat, for some lifters that have certain shoulder mobility restrictions the trunk musculature works the same way in the snatch as it does in the back squat when the bar is overhead. there's plenty more reasons but i guess the fact that the back squat has been part of pretty much every weightlifting program i think is reason enough.

by all means give better advice if you can

You're retarded. They're more or less equally important for oly lifters. Back squat increases your front squat.

I guarantee if you could get away with back squatting heavy as frequently as front squatting your coaches would have you do both with the same frequency. Going "hurr front squat more important cuz its done more times" is like saying "cable tricep extensions > bench because you can do them almost every day of the week".

no, i was not trying to imply that the back squat is more important in weightlifting and it absolutely is true that anthropomorphy plays an important role in exercise choice. what i was trying to say is that its better for a guy that is not training the olympic lifts at all at the moment to focus on the back squat as well as the front squat which is what i meant by "you already spent time doing fronts".
also by the looks of it he's doing ss, i would not be comfortable making changes in an already established strength program especially since he is training 3 times a week and not 5 probably. i understand that you have some credibility on the matter, as i have, but i think encouraging a guy to only front squat in such early stages is not a great idea.

Do you even make an effort to stimulate myofibrillar hypertrophy by inducing skeletal muscle microtrauma?
ya pal... I bet you've never lifted a day in your life if you made a statement like this. Anyone can emphasize with this situation that is a regular lifter whenever we're trying to limit our 1.5 hours in the gym, and are instead bossed around by some out of shape older lady that will never look good because she will never have a winner mind-set and will always carry that "babby fat" she claims she has. I've seen your kind around the gym a time or two... You get on the treadmill at 2.5 mph for 20-30 min, pretend like you're working out, but are really just staring at the 14 yr old high school girls in front of you, in which case you'll fap when you get home to your miserable life with your out of shape hog of a wife who will reject your advances on her later in the evening. Yea... I've seen your type a thousand times. Ambition is your goal, but phaggy time is your soul. Try walking a mile in my footsteps when you squat until you puke, and then come at me bro... All talk and never anyway to back it up, my 72 year old grandmother is like that. Do us all a favor and grow up and learn your place at the gym.

I just work up to a single, and usually do doubles or triples at 90% of that weight.

The single is usually a weight that’s challenging but I know I can hit on my worst day. If I’m feeling great, I’ll bump it up 10-20lbs.

I keep an eye on how I’m trending to make sure I am actually putting on weight instead of auto-regulating and not moving anywhere.

Butt wink is hard man, stretch soas

>Squat everyday
>No one ITT squats every day

Really activates my christmas almonds

the way he rocks back and forth makes me nervous as fuck
that just seems like an accident waiting to happen

You'd be surprised, he's probably lighter than you at 96kg training weight, he's just quite short. There's plenty of more cut olympic weightlifters too who squat huge weights (vid is of Tian Tao squatting 300kg x 2 @ 87kg), the most fun to watch as of recently are the heavyweights though due to the ban on manlet countries.

You are comparing a 77kg lifter to someone who's twice his weight lifting 30% more. Further, while the Front Squat is absolutely necessary in olympic lifting for obvious reasons, the back squat is absolutely essential for filling up the volume for which the front squat cannot. The front squat is very taxing and difficult to do along with the main lifts, so the back squat is there to help keep the volume up without killing your lifters.

ive been squatting like this for about 2 months now . I was messing around with different stuff before and taking long breaks off of squatting for months. This is by far the best thing ive tried so far to get strong as fast possible. squat increased over 30 kg during this. I will see how far i will get with in 6 months.
