How long did it take you to get to 225 squat?
How long did it take you to get to 225 squat?
However many weeks of linear progression at 5 lbs every other day. So not very long. This is a pretty doable number
Like 3 weeks
A few months. As long as you're doing it 3 times a week you'll get there pretty quickly.
I'm still stuck at 115
Pls b kg
no
I'm a dyel and this is my first couple months lifting
You should be benching 225..
It's taken me about a year to get to 205, but I don't normally bulk and train for reps rather then Strength. I usually do 8 reps for 4 sets. I know for most 205 is pretty easy but I like to stay lean and slowly gain muscle, currently I'm 138 lbs.
more or less this.. then again I grew up being active doing things like biking, having a trampoline and just leading an active life style. It will be a lot harder to reach for non-athletic fat body computer nerds who grow up playing video games
.. yes I am a boomer you arent impressing anyone by pointing it out.
A couple months.
So was I but that was kg for me
I am currently at body weight squat (160 lbs) and am scared to go further. I still dont feel like I am squatting easily at this weight even though I have been doing it for a couple of months now. Also I am doing it with dumbbells.
17 years
first time squatting heavy but I've had a background in cycling
How much kilos is that? I mean, is your question about an overall weight or just the plates?
Right around 2 months with no previous experience.
literally squatted it after about 4 years of basketball with no gym time whatsoever. Bear in mind i did cycling aswell, and i did basketball for something like 8 to 10 hours per week.
Relatively quickly, I used rep that out after wrestling practice for burnouts, take your time, its a nice milestone, make certain your form is good, its not as light as people make it out to be
2 months on SL from 45lb to 225lb.
its taken me 6 months to get to 190
>Bear in mind i did cycling as well
What kind of cycling are we talking about?
2 or 3 weeks
How many reps OP? Just one?
Day 1, had previously been kinda fat and played front row in rugby
took me 8 months of rather strict dieting and lifting to get to 3x5 of 225lbs, 3 times a week. I was a 6'0 hungry skele before that.
>to 225 squat
1 rep or x10?
I could do it for a set of 5 day 1
2 days
X1
3 months
X10
10 months
1 rep max normatives
2 month to get to 2pl8, 8 to get to 3, I'm about 15 months in now and I'm crusing around 385-395.
>not mentioning his body weight
250 lbs?
also post pics
189-205, 202 at the literal moment.
175 lbs
400 lbs
>tfw lifted on and off for years but have never lifted 100kg of anything but deadlift
I am genetically inferior and also mentally inferior
there there lol i was just shitting you
i'm retered. last week i accidentally loaded up 185 and hit 3x5. today i did 165 5x5. one time i deadlifted 275 for three but i can only hit 225 for 5 right now. its really the jews fault, some days the poison is harsher than others
Like 2 months on SS, 3 plate within 6
>tfw blessed with squatting power
you could be me
I didn't hit a 1 pl8 bench until 3 years of lifting
>what are different people and their different abilities
Real talk: about 18 months. Hit 405 a few months ago after six years lifting. Not strength focused though.
>be 155 squat 325
>"advanced"
>fat
W-what? Every fatty i know can squat fucktons despite having pathetic bench PRs. Its us skelllies that take a long time to get a decent squat
never gonna make it
For 5 reps? 5-6 months starting at a 130 pounds
5 months
cope
took me like a month to get to 1pl8 and i was 120lbs when i started lifting
That better be 138lbs at 4 ft, you dyel
I squatted it my first day in the gym after 4 years of rugby and track
I started out as a skelly coming out of track and cross country so I'm pretty satisfied. I dont need the approval of random person in an Italian Grape farm forum to know ive improved.
My BMI is normal for 5'5. Manlet memes aside as I said I don't enjoy bulking. I used to weigh 146 but my job requires constant cardio and being on the sun all day, combined with the fact I just got over having strep throat which kept me out of the gym for two weeks.
I didn't mean to post that pic but I'll include my stats.
Back squat 205x10
Deadlift 225x10
Bench 140x10
Ohp 60x10
I do dumbbell press and Arnold press instead of the normal barbell, I just used the number of dumbbells weight added together.
That better be kilos
Sedentary fuck (me) day one lifts
Height 190cm weight 84kg
Squat like 50kg
Bench like 40kg
Overheadpress struggling with 30kg
Deadlift 100kg with shit form for 1rm(i have ape arms)
Now training for 2.5years
Squat 140kg 5x5 any day i would walk into gym 170kg 1rm
Bench 110kg single (again ape arms and neglecting the lift hard, keep the frequency niggas)
Deadlift, 5plates sumo for reps
Now slightly weaker due to involuntarily cutting (cant afford food and im fat)
My bodyweight didnt chabge whole lot, im 90kg as of today
Idk if I will be able to.I have a bent back, the bar doesnt sit even on my shoulders and my hips twist when I push up. I can do more than 1pl8 but my legs feel all fucked up afterwards, one thigh is all sore.
Within 4ish months. Swam a lot on a team so that might’ve helped.
Thats a meme unless you were some sprinter of sorts
I would even argue tripling my squat 1rm made me noticeably weaker in endurance (cycling) altough i feel like breaking the bicycle if i want to accelerate fast.
The carryover between one and another is just not there past very noob gains
I was 15 years old, unless you mean kilograms then I have no idea what it even means
hang in there bro im also dealing with shitty imbalances, they take a while to correct and its a painful journey but we will make it
Anyone ITT if you are a Male and it took you more than a month or you still cant do 225 you NEED to reevaluate your form. Take a video, ask a friend, or even hire a PT for one session if you have to. Your form has to be very wrong if you cant do 225. That is all.
I could do it on the first day, but it almost took me to snap city
This. I have no idea how it would take any man longer than a month if he's consistent
>Bear in mind
I started as a mega skeleton lanklet, 135lbs at 6'2". My first couple months in the gym I started squatting like 70 lbs. Before that I was a computer nerd that just sat around on my ass all day for years though,
It took me over a year to get to 200. I ended up injuring my knee before I ever got 2pl8 and these days I just squat maintenance sets at like 175 in my garage where nobody can see my shame. Back squats are my personal hell.
That being said I can OHP 135, bench 200 and pull 3 pl8 so I'm not too upset about the squats. I kinda wanna pickup a hexbar thing so I can do those instead but I'm having fun trying out front squats these days.
No more than 6 months, 2pl8 squat is one of the earliest milestones you'll reach.
Its just your form was and is still shit
Many such cases
