180kg squats x3

Postby Will on Tue Feb 17, 2009 9:54 pm

180kgx3 squats for you. Had a bit of a mare putting it back on the rack! No belt or anything else - bar sweat and tears

Sorry about the sideways video I always forget that my phone does that!

Any comments appreciated. :)

Nice! It didn't look too tough either.

I would like to see them ATG? :)

Yeah I'm a bit wary of going too deep with those crappy L-Brackets just in case I do fail - I'd feel more confident on a power rack. At least I get to parallel unlike a lot of other people at the gym! Sorry about the angle :oops:

Cheers Scott. I was proper dead it was sheer will and determination that made me push that little more! I'm trying to get up to 200kg, and I will do it, but slowly but surely. I think it looks easier than it was - or maybe I'm just putting myself down :oops: I did have a huge leg session today so I guess I did have quite a bit more in the tank as you say!

In my experience things can indeed actually look easier on video than they feel.

Glad I'm not alone on that!

As an aside, my back looks quite big in the vid - quite happy with that! :mrgreen:

IMO it looks like you need to go a fair bit deeper to hit paralell (hip crease in line with knee), the reps looked very fuckin easy though, looked like you could of got like 20 lol.

Strong lifting.

Yup, I always think parallel is best if you aim to get the hip just below the knee. That will definitely pass in a lifting comp (right?).

ATG would be good too ;)

Fair comments, I could have gone lower, I set the L-Brackets to be so that I was below parallel, and I didn't quite touch them I admit - the angle doesn't help, but yes definitely should have and could have gone lower but it's so hard to judge on that shitty rack thing they've got. Still reasonably happy - will try that weight after less sets next time and see how I get on, maybe put the brackets 1 notch lower.

I think you are brave man going for those squats with that less than secure set up. Be really cool to see what you could do with access to a proper power rack.

Good effort for such a dodgy rack there.

You tell him Ash!
Good lifting Will, even if you were an inch shy of parallel, you still got good depth. You made it look like easy weight.
