How much can you squat Jow Forums?
I barely ever see anyone in my gym squat more than lmao2plate. Even then, they barely hit parallel
I can squat 125kg for one rep and people look at me like I'm superman, even though online stregth standards say that weight is just alright for my weight (58kg).
Anything above beginner level for squat is impressive to normies
525
>58 kg
Can’t do a normal squat because I have external tibial torsion so I’m just doing the legpress and leg curls.
>58 kg
you should worry about eating, not your squat
530 x5 is my best ever. I will beat it this year, however.
Whats your deadlift?
>58 kg = 127 lbs
>125 kg = 275 lbs
damn, you must be a fucking skeleton, a midget or a kid.
exrx.net
your squat isn't "alright" by the way, it is advanced for your weight, they're probably amazed at the sight of such a small individual being able to squat that much.
530 x5 guy here. A little higher than my squat. I don't do 1RM since I'm not a powerlifter. There's just no point.
Maybe OP's a girl?
3x 315 ATG. Only one person out of thousands at my gym can lift more than me. This is the Midwest and we don't have roids or pro athletes here though.
I can barely squat 330, and I pass for an animal at my gym. Normies standard doesn't make any sense
Just under 2plates, but I've only been lifting for a few weeks. Hopefully I can hit 3 by the end of the year.
207 max ever so far with oly shoes but no things like belts etc, now i'm lighter and do mostly speedwork, max is probably 180ish
pls be in kg
kilograms if it wasn't obvious
You don't need to be on gear to squat 315 wtf.
What gym let's you load up 207 lbs? What kind of plates could they possibly have
fractionals
they're getting estimated 1RM that's why the fractions, either that or they're using those .75 plates.
I don't know what kind of fucking planet fitness shithole you lift in, the Midwest consistently has some of the strongest lifters in the world.
squatting is for literal faggots
I talk to a lot of the female gym regulars and they all acknowledge that a dude that squats is a literal faggot building his ass to get pounded
Right now I'm only squatting 295lbs for 5 reps, but my 5RM was 335 lbs. For whatever reason, my squat has always lagged behind and been fucking terrible in comparison to my other lifts. I always get stuck in a rut with squats constantly working my way up, form breaking, deloading, working my way up, form breaking, deloading etc so I'm constantly hovering over/under lmao3plate. Meanwhile I can do a fucking lmao5plate deadlift.
>I talk to a lot of the female gym regulars
Only insecure idiots like Jason Blaha and Mark Rippletits squat.
I can barely squat bodyweight
What's beginner level again? Up to 225?
675. I can only fit 7 plates on the bar. I could probably go just a bit higher but honestly i dont see the reason other than dick measuring. Considering buying some chains but dont think that would even help. Im fine if thats my limit
I have 87kg and my Max squat was 100kg.
lul
exrx.net
anything above 205, yeah.
but 2pl8 is the easy way to show it off.
215kg. Ive had people congradulate me doing 3pl8 lol normies should be gassed
According to this, I'm elite on every lift. That can't be right. Surely a 1600 total isn't enough to be an elite lifter.
I was gonna say I can do 2pl8 for reps and people fucking stare. And here I am just mirin the one dude in our gym who can do more than me at 405 for reps.
455lbs low bar.
440lbs high bar.
Tard strenf rulz guys
you mean total as squat, bench and deadlift combined? your squat has to be 450+, your bench has to be 350+ and your deadlift 500+, if we get the total you need 1300 to qualify as elite.
keep in mind what the page says:
The performance standards are adult standards (>18 years old) for a single maximal repetition (1RM) based on competitive weightlifter and powerlifting classification systems in use from the 1950's to present.
Elite
An athlete competing in strength sports. Keep in mind, the standards shown in the tables do not represent the highest level of strength performance possible.
Hopefully going to squat 2pl8 next gym session, doing SL progression
You dont have anywhere near a 1600 total or you would know youre elite. Thats like 700 dead 600 squat 300 bench. Im in the 1500 club (sorta, my bench isnt that great but ive put up 300 before on a good day) and id say im easily in the 95th percentile
I can squat 120
Honestly the 1000 club is probably 95th. 1500 would be 99th
One out of 20 people are not in 1000 club. Way fewer Id say 750 club is 99th
remove all the people who dont train/train like retards
You mean 99% of humanity?
yes. you have no business comparing yourself to them
currently at lmfaoroflkekpl8 but im still adding 5 pounds a session with ease
wish me luck
gl my newbiegains friend, gotta get strong.
hope your form isn't aids, pay special attention to it to avoid unloading the bar later on.
Going for 385 4x2 tomorrow....wish me luck boys
>1500 total with a 300lb bench
the gym owner is a powerlifter who helps me with my form its comfy
>e-stats: the thread
my work sets are 2pl8 for 8-12 reps. no need to go higher.
also lmao @ how everyone in this thread somehow has elite level lifts
> 58kg
> 125kg squat
Jesus that's strong. It's like me squatting 250kg. Fuck.
>no need to go higher
Why not for fun?
Elite level lifts are like 600-700 lbs at 181. A 400-500 squat for a man that weighs 150-200 lbs is not elite. It's strong, and takes some time to achieve, but is not elite at all.
why should I? I already have decent legs and sometimes I do 20 rep sets because why not. Why should I push myself every week on squats when I can push myself on OHP and weighted chinups
There's "no point" to anything in sports except money, fame, deriving pleasure from physical exertion, and testing the limits of human performance.
325 lbs for sets of 5
More than anyone in my gym.
i squat 165kg / 363.7lbs for 3x5, but i'm a recovering fatty so it's not impressive, still more than anyone at my gym though, also eating at a deficit now so i'm really looking forward to decreasing all my lifts :(
>why make more than 30k a year? I can live off of it.
haha they're totally not the same, and you know it. Am I risking injury or draining my CNS making more than 30k a year? NO
I am happy with how my legs look like and I want to maintain them. what's wrong with that?
Ya ive never been a big bench guy. I usually work with 275 and im fine with my chest. Focusing on delts and traps
I did 265 once last yr. My progress is insanely slow.
Uh, what is it called when you're not at "untrained" yet?
If there is nothing wrong with it, than why do you feel the need to defend your scared/pussy philosophy towards the king of lifts? Why are you even on this board?
i'm not defending anything. I said I'm happy with my legs and I don't see why I should keep pushing myself on squats when I can save the energy for my other lifts.
>king of lifts
top kek
it means you're below average strenght of untrained people.
you should probably think about doing strenght training, keep in mind these are 1RM
I just started lifting again after a long-term injury. I could probabily lift heavier, but I'd rather do that 5 pound increments until I know I got the form down.
Because you don't want to be a wagecuck forever?
The pill Jow Forums wont swallow
>tfw impinged hip so i can't squat much
FUCK THIS
stop trying to stay so upright when you squat. thats whats causing your hip pain
i lose balance if i don't
post a video if you have one. do you tip on your toes or does the bar role forward? high bar or lowbar? are you pushing your hips back? opening your taint? bracing properly?
Have done 3 plate before, but now I'm a 29 year old boomer with an injury history so I mostly do front squats with 185 or 225 for higher reps.
You're right though that normies almost never go above 2 plates. Anyone squatting 3+ plates for reps gets noticed at my current gym.
don't have a video, but i just tried following your advice seemed to help a lot (didn't use a bar since i don't have a home gym but i pretended i was holding an air barbell, lol)
thanks, maybe all hope is not yet lost for me - my left hip mobility is still fucked, can't do deadlifts but according to this website i can do another exercise for my lower back, probably isn't as good but it seems far more sustainable
unless youve been diagnosed with hip problems you can likely deadlift and squat just fine. do mobility, foam roll etc
for dl, learn to hip hinge properly. try doing rdls to practice the movement. basically hyperextend your back. push your hips back and lean down, dont bend your knees too much and feel tension in your hamstrings
285x5 at 140 bw. it messed up my knees so now i dont do much more than 2pl8s
no, I can't, I've tried improving mobility and it has only made the symptoms worse.
i have all the symptoms of femoroacetabular impingement
self diagnosing is probably incorrect. not trying to shit on you but 90% sure you can. your bad form on squats is likely aggravating a mild problem making it worse than it really is. if you start using good tech and religiously doing mobility (also you might be doing mobility wrong going off you not knowing how to squat) youll likely be fine
Can we restart this thread with height and femur length?
6'4" with long femurs I struggle doing more than 2pl8s but am working on it. While my 5'8" buddy was able to get to 2pl8 in like 1 month. I'm guessing all these people who think 3pl8s is easy are on the shorter side.
160k @ 85k bw.
squats are weak since I got back from asia, though. onions poisoning?
what else could it be?
>As part of the physical examination, your doctor will likely conduct the impingement test. For this test, your doctor will bring your knee up towards your chest and then rotate it inward towards your opposite shoulder. If this recreates your hip pain, the test result is positive for impingement.
orthoinfo.aaos.org
i did that, and the pain is unbearable.
pain is probably caused by squatting wrong. I had it too. give it a few weeks of squatting properly and 1h stretching/rolling before bed. if it doesnt go away then get an MRI, so some physical test
when you stretch/roll remember to do all surrounding shit (quads, hams, glutes, errectors, abs, basically everything) not just the hip joint
explain the pain that literally prevents me from doing deadlifts, i know what tendon / ligament / muscle pain feels like, this feels like bone on bone pain
Squatting heavy is a one way ticket to snap city
I know exactly what you mean. I had the same thing and got a scan. just try squatting properly
Your hips probably aren't build for it. Mine aren't. The femur runs into the top of the hip joint and prevents me from getting into the right position without snapping my shit up.
The trap bar allows for a far greater variety of body types.
Don't listen to anyone that tells you the big 3 are meant for everyone.
no shame in that my man, slow steps
I squat for hypertrophy reasons only plus the additional core work.
Volume is key with an amount of weight that isn't going to fuck your shit up. Obviously, work on progress and increase the weight but if all you care about it numbers you'll be one of those retards who snaps their shit and loses more like Silent Mike or any of the other youtube powerlifters that ego lift.
405 ipf, 365 atg. Kind of afraid to add more than lmao4pl8, so I will prolly just start repping it.
6’6” 200lb and I can squat 3pl8. I’ll admit it’s taken a while though.
I think i made it to 325 before I quit goin to the gym. :\
For some reason My shoulder started fucking hurting when I hit 100lb OHP, so I pussed out. Also the gym membership thing feels like a scam.
Ive seen probably 6 or 7 guys including myself in my gym total that can squat 3pl8 to depth. I am the weakest in that group. 1rm is probably 340lbs
yeah fuck that - once the knee and hip pains started I just abandoned squats. deadlifts are okay but not great either.
tried it all - months of stretching, lifting shoes, plates under heels, barefoot, box squating, etc.
just wanna look good so lots of leg press lunges and extensions
low-bar - 425
high-bar - 375
front squat - 300
zercher squat - 350
If I can get 3 plate front squat I can die happy.
My knees only hurt mildly, and certainly not constantly. I’m one of those guys who loves squats. I’ll say this though, not my knees themselves but my MCLs do get sore or occasion.
>remove all the people who dont train/train like retards
That's probably less than 1% of the total population no matter where you are, I'd even venture to say that however you define "train like retards" you could be talking about like .1% of the population or less. 1000 club puts you above literally eveybody who doesn't train at a gym regularly, and even then above like 90% of people who train regularly at any given commercial gym.
Yeah if you get autistic and compare yourself to the best then nothing is elite. It's like a highschool athlete comparing himself to the best competing pros, it's fucking retarded.
Also, I find deadlifts make the inside of my left ankle hurt sometimes, more pain than squats ever brings me. No idea why.
>I already have decent legs
No you dont, bud
At my gym I've only seen one guy squat 405 atg for 5 reps and my mind was blown. Everyone else loads 315 and literally just bends their knees slightly
