Sounds good stevenmiller


Mon - 3x5 @ 385
Wed - 1x5 @ 315
Fri - 1x5 @ 405

I'll try something like that and try going up every week. The thing is, I don't know when I'm going to have time/energy for jump training. Now I kinda wish I didn't dirty buik and just took it slow but dammit I made great strength progress.

Guess after I lose the weight, I'll work on jump technique while maintaining weight and strength.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Maintenance routine for squats?
« on: December 22, 2011, 04:37:06 pm »
Currently at 405x4. I think I'm about to deload and then go for 405x5 just to get the "unofficial" milestone and put it on youtube. It should also get me at an estimated 455lb 1RM.

Within the next 6 weeks or so, I want to lose around 10lbs of bodyweight, maybe 15lbs. I'm creatine loaded so I know I can lose a lot of water weight so 15lbs won't be much of a stretch.

Anyone know of a good routine to maintain squat 1RM? I'm thinking something like this:

Max: 455lbs

Mon - Work up to 405x2
Wed - Work up to 385x1, drop to 335x8
Fri - Work up to 405x3

395x4 today at 207lbs bodyweight (at time of squat with clothing on)


Est max is 440lbs. Highest it's ever been.
2.125x bw squat! Highest my ratio's ever been as well.

Can't wait for 2.255 sometime before the summer.

Actually... would be cool to rep twice my bodyweight for 4 reps. I think that'll be my next mini-goal. Should take me no longer than 8 more weeks but there's no telling how badly I may stall in the future.

And it was a hook grip you retards, a favorite of steroid users because their grip/forearm strength doesn't increase as rapidly as their lats/traps/legs. The more you know

You grip better with a mixed grip.

Holy crap I can't believe Hickson used to post on our forum and keep his TRAINING LOG here. Where has he been?

Are you doing any dynamic work to keep your bar speed that high? Or is that just how you always do your reps?

Nope, no dynamic stuff. Unless you mean dynamic stretching beforehand, yes. But the only thing I do is my warm-up which may explain it:

135 x 5 (controlled)
185 x 5 (controlled)
225 x 3 (explosive)
275 x 1 (explosive)
315 x 1 (explosive)
345 x 1 (explosive)

Now of course, after the 275x1 the weight is too heavy for me to be really explosive, but all that matters is that I actually push 100% with all of my strength. I do this for my work sets as well.

Also, read this thread on pushing with 100% effort and being "explosive" even with heavy weights http://www.adarq.org/forum/lancests-performance-blog/articles-and-write-ups/

I never even knew my depth/stance combination was weird, it feels so natural to me.

I remember when I first started squatting the first two years I used to squat much wider and my toes would point out a lot. Somehow over time I just got more used to keeping them closer and pointing forward more.

From today:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yai6mosC9Bs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yai6mosC9Bs</a>


In 5 weeks, I went from:
335x4 at 204lbs, to
385x4 at 208lbs.

This was my squat schedule:

Mon - 1x4 (88%), 2x7 (77%)
Wed - 1x2 (88%)
Sat - 1x4 (88%), 2x7 (77%)

Every time a Monday or Saturday workout came up, I added 5lbs to the bar.
I've done this successfully for the past 9 workouts in a row.

I've read a lot about how mixed rep ranges are supposedly the best for gaining strength, and I have to say, my gains here are actually better than my gains that I had on smolov jr out 5 weeks.

In smolov jr, I went from a 335lb max to 385lb max in 6 weeks.
In this rep scheme, I went from 335x4 to 385x4 in 5 weeks.

That's one week less and the 50lb gain is on my WORKING sets, not max, which means possibly 55-60lb gain on my max.

creatine monohydrate > whey, so get those first if you haven't yet. good luck!

Really? I never knew that. I know about the peri-workout benefits of creatine, but not about the recovery and growth benefits. Time to google some stuff before asking on this board...  ;)

I cannot believe the amount of people getting into crossfit at my university. Mind you, I go to a Division I school and I see these huge guys on the varsity teams getting into crossfit now. Wasting my fucking time, taking up the power cage to do 65lbs push presses and squats.
