Depends on how low I have to go.., if it were a power lifting competition my squat is awful... I have a messed up back from football and can't put much weight on it... My body is pretty proportionate, but I have naturally think legs. Ya, a lb hammer doesn't seem like fun, that's more endurance than strength..




My chest is far superior to yours, maybe your core is stronger than mine though... Well, your core is def stronger than mine lol.


i bought a 3 month pass to a gym back in 2008 i lasted about month and a half
it bores the fuck out of me and my neck these days i couldnt handle it anymore

o ya im not talking deep squats, im talking gym weight. Like when you go to the gym if you're reppin 185 for sets on the bench you better not be squatting 135... i seen that shit too often before i got a gym at home.

Biggest thing that gets most guys their first time on an anvil is that you should lift the hammer and then let its weight do most of the work. Most guys are pulling up then pushing down like they're doing speed situps or some shit and their forearm turns to glass before the forge is even fully hot. My first day i used a light ass hammer and still got my ass beat by that anvil.

we'll you should do deep squats, much better for your hammys. but i was just speaking to the squat-bench relationship by saying your regular squat should be higher than your bench.

in truth squats should be as varied of a lift as bench (incline, decline, max, min, dumbell, etc). Most serious lifters for athletics i've come across tended to do deep squats, regular squats, and box squats at least. I always used box squats as a warm up ot between long rest sets on non-leg day to get the lactic acid out from the previous leg day. Works well for that and with the box right there even if your legs fail it just looks like you're sitting down lol.

Only squat that matters is regular deep squat... That will add all the size to your legs that you need... I do wide base squats as well, gotta hit them glutea to get a bubble butt for the females, then I do hang cleans (just so I like a monster to the noob lifters).

In high school my bench was 315 | squat 355 | deadlift 465 ... Now it's like 360 bench | 315 squat | 405 deadlift... Lol

for the beach yes. for sports fuck naw.

i lift 3-5 days a week now and i have a beer belly. I mainly lift so that i can defend myself and avoid injury from the physical things i do. if i stopped lifting i think my back would go to hell inside of 10 years to the point of needing surgery.

All the extra stuff isn't necessary, box squats are for pussies who don't want to do another 4 sets of deep squats. I do front squats though. Those are useful.
For sports I did way more lifts for legs back then than I do now, but they were forced upon me.

sounds to me like you're lifting program is about as dynamic as your character selection on east. TBH man you should try some dynamic programs, i bet you'd shatter a lot of lifts you thought you plateau'd on.
