What is your relationship with Squats?

[MuzzyP]

You miscalculated. The final set is actually 215.

The coli told me seeing someone squat more than 315 or bench 225 was rarer than a non-racist white person.

If I survive my heavy set, my back off sets will be 215 actually.

That's rare? I've seen that in every non Planet Fitness gym I've ever been in. Not sayin' it's the norm, but definitely not rare at all.

This thread is actually pretty tame compared to what a usual fitness thread looks like on the coli. Go look at a fitness thread in TLR and you will understand

I'm messing witchu. It's only rare on thecoli.com.

You musta missed this gem:
The Likelihood That You See People Squatting Three Plates Or More Or Benching Beyond Two Plates At Your Gym…

Lol. I'm still practically new here and have missed the classics.

Oh, I got you:

1) Calisthenics are better than weights for everything. We got dudes benching 405+ just off push-ups alone.

2) As soon as you bench 225 you should start a thread to commemorate this vaunted achievement. You won't bench more than 300 natty, unless you're @Luck or @BenchPressPapi.

3) Deadlifts are for cacs. Barbell squats too, apparently.

4) Make sure to take advice from posters that are weaker than you are. Listening to strong people is not how you get stronger.

5) Preworkout is a placebo. Seriously. Caffeine being one of the most researched supplements means PWO doesn't actually improve your performance. Same thing for creatine.


Some reading material for you (the blassics ):

Who here can't bench above 300

225 bench press for reps all natural

If yoire bench pressing over 300 lbs get in here...

Is that home squat rack they're selling at wally world any good? I saw it yesterday and almost bought it but I decided to see what the POWDA(TM) Boyz got to say about it first.

I need something where I can get it in at home cause I'm not gon be at a gym anytime soon.

 

[Swirv]

I love them, but they hate me

I always swear them off after I throw my back out, but sooner or later, I come back

Few things:
- #POWDABOYZ™ is defunct. Never mention that name again.


- That's not a rack, that's a squat stand. If you happen to fail there are no safeties to help you. It costs less money and has a smaller footprint [takes up less space] than an actual rack. I wouldn't cheap out and grab one of those. I'd get an actual rack that can be bolted down if necessary. If money is that tight, a gym membership is still cheaper over time for a minute.



- Something like Body Power Deluxe Rack Cage, Accessories, Safety Bars, Floor-Mount Anchors
^this is still pretty affordable and will have moar utility. (It's 300 bucks from Wally Mart.)



I'm not a home gym gang member (or even affiliated) but the pros of a home setup are pretty meh to me outside of rona quarantine.

Every now and then. Its related to an injury I got years ago, nothing to do with squatting.

 

[TheKongoEmpire]

I'm not out here trying to squat no damn 400lbs though!
