My squats are not improving. What do I do? I am sure my form

>change rep scheme
>add volume

Something like that

>>37653569
Other shit to supplement legs? Leg press, extension, leg curls?

If you're a "shit squatter" that means your form isn't good. You probably don't brace very well. Look up Chris Duffin's squat guide to learn about bracing and staying tight. It will improve your squat and all your other lifts as well

>>37653594

How come my overhead press and deadlift are good then? Aren't bracing essential for those lifts?

>>37653569
>Can it just be possible for someone to be a shit squatter?
Sure, but that doesn't mean you can't fix it retard.
Deload and work your way back up fuckstick.

>>37653606
Because maybe you aren't bracing yourself properly on a squat. He's just throwing out an idea fuckwad. He has no idea based on the few sentences you gave him.

>>37653610

That's what I am doing you shit eating cunt. Doesn't work. My deadlift keeps going up but my squat is still shit.

>>37653620
Oh okay, then obviously your genetics won't let you squat properly. You are genetically a shitty squatter and you can't do anything about it. There, now you have your excuse that you want, you stupid faggot.

Just dive bomb and catch the bounce, there

>>37653569
In the same OP. Been stuck on 90kg squat for a month while everything else is going up fine, my deadlift is almost 3pl8 and I almost have ohp 1pl8 for 1rm. Tried 92.5 squat on monday and got 3x5 fine, but then stalled today and deloaded back to 85 to finish my last set. Don't listen to these topdog faggots calling you out on shit you're not even doing, they don't lift or they'd actually have decent advice or experience. Just keep working at it, try filming yourself to check your form if you havent already, watch youtube vids, make sure your sleeping and eating right. I think some people are just worse at certain lifts so you have to keep trying at least thats what I'm doing

>>37653569

>I am sure my form is ok

Unless you are able to qualify that statement with video, analysis of that video, comparison with reputable coaching and training resources, then I am inclined to believe that you probably wouldn't know "ok" form if it fucked you in the ass.

This

Studies show that the best squatters achieve total laxity on the squat descent, which allows to to save their energy and propel themselves out of the hole.

>>37653569
Squat on some dick on your rest days, it helped me a lot

Non troll response: if you've got nothing but your own gut to confirm your form is good, it's probably not. It's not entirely your fault, your body does whatever it takes to finish the last rep, and it ain't gonna do it with perfect form of the muscles ain't up for it.
Let's start from basics: do you find pressure moving away from your mid foot at any point? Maybe you're leaning on your toes a little on the last rep of some of your sets?

What's your bw, your numbers, and how long have you been lifting?

>>37653938

I can confirm this.

>>37653901
But then you're only doing half the squat. No point increasing the weight when you can't perform the entire lift, especially when youre working for strength. The only time you should do that is in a comp where you need to get the weight up however possible.

ye I need more strength on my erectors. hard to keep my breasts up while I'm hinging at the hips.

>>37654047

Then I'm sorry, but you might just be a genetic deadend. Try rock collecting maybe?

>>37654029

i doubt there's data that actually substantiates this. it's entirely possible that concentric lifting under more weight is more beneficial towards gaining strength versus emphasizing eccentric at lower weight

Three of those were me. One where I offered a solution, one where I commented on his stupid response, and another were I replied to his stupid reply to my first post. This might come as a surprise to you, but people can comment multiple times in a thread. When it matters is if someone is pretending to be multiple people. Welcome to 4chan, pls leave.

>>37654194
>t's entirely possible that concentric lifting under more weight is more beneficial towards gaining strength versus emphasizing eccentric at lower weight
But how could it be? If you can lift x but not y, wouldn't it make sense that y requires more strength than x? Unless slow eccentric lifting is just an application of strength achieved by doing heavy concentric, but that doesn't sound right. Not that I'd know, if someone can explain why I'm wrong then I'd be happy to hear it

>>37654374
Yeah but I just thought it was funny how you were using words like fuckwad like the solution was so obvious to a big man like you but then you couldn't handle the fact that your advice wasnt helpful so you just kept calling a fuckstick like that somehow made your years of experience in strength training worth something

>>37653569
The end of linear progression.
This would be a good time to read up on Practical Programming. They go through what steps you need to take to increase lifts now that you are not a beginner lifter. I read it a while ago but completely forgot all the details on how to train when you get to this point.
There is a free pdf version up on google. Just type in Practical Programming Mark Rippetoe and you will find it. Good luck

>>37654453
The solution was obvious because that's one of the main ways you get over a plateau. Stop crying that someone was mean to you, you fucking pussy. Maybe you would get more useful information if you provided more information to everyone.

>>37654018

5'5, 55 kg, almost two years now but I lost a lot of gains to cortisone.

62 kg OHP
85 kg bench
145 kg deadlift
80 kg squat

>>37654948

>80 kg squat

Wait, no. 90 kg squat.

>>37654948
>62kg ohp
>85 kg bench
>90 kg squat
this doesn't add up. at all. are you sure you're doing the math on your bench and ohp correctly? how is your OHP so strong relative to your bench and your squat so fucking weak relative to both.

>>37653569
just do some 5x5 strength training and your squats will improve in no time buddy

>>37654948

Eat more. You're too light for your height.

/thread

>>37655048
Squat is not related to OHP and bench. Squat form is bad and bench form is bad is the most likely culprit.

>>37655088
They're all related in a sense that they should all develop at a pace relative to the others if they're all done properly and with equivalent volume.

2:3:4:5 is roughly the ratio of ohp to bench to squat to deadlift.

>>37655068
this
to be honest with you

>>37655112
Yeah in that sense they ideally should be related. But that doesn't identify form issues so much as high deadlift and dramatically low squat.

>>37653569
>I am sure my form is ok
Unless you can post a video of your squat I am 100% sure your form is the problem.

>>37655160
Either way I would be extremely surprised if someone sporting such novice numbers in the bench and squat managed a relatively impressive greater than bodyweight overhead press.

>>37655048

If you haven't noticed my squat is weak compared to everything else. I can do 5 chins with 20 kg for example. My squat is just shit.

>>37655068

I did Texas Method the last summer. The 5x5 squats almost killed me.

>>37655084

I am eating enough and gaining enough weight, and my lifts go up. Except my squat.

>I did Texas Method the last summer. The 5x5 squats almost killed me.

Everything of yours is weak, except mysteriously your overhead press.

The average lad will take a year to hit 2pl8 for 5, leave off bruv

>>37655457
>having standards this shitty

fucking kek

I'm in a similar place as OP. My other lifts are improving, but I can't add weight to my squat. I seem to have issues squatting heavier. I can do 70kg (155lbs) x 8 no problem but then fail to do 79kg (175lbs) for a double. I always record my videos to make sure I hit depth, so it is really strange to me that I am doing 155x8 but failing 175x2.

My other lifts at my ORM:
97kg / 215lbs deadlift
56 kg / 125lbs bench

Body weight is ~48kg/105lbs

The accessory lifts I do for lower body are leg extension, weighted hyper extensions, weighted hip thrusts, and cable kick backs. Sometimes I do ATG pistol squats with weight.

Are there other accessories I should be trying? Right now I am on week 5 of candito. I've made gains in all areas except my squat with this. Is there another program that I should be trying? My power lifter friends tell me that my form is fine, so I'm not sure what to do.

>>37655506
I will never understand why there are folks on fit who insist on bragging in every thread possible

>>37655539
A fucking year to squat a measly 2pl8 for five? Are you fucking joking? Unless you're 45kg SKELETON and malnourished as fuck i cant see how it would take longer than 6 months with proper training and nutrition fuck sake

Just brace your core, dive bomb and catch the bounce.

Fuck.

If you don't know what to do when you can't improve, get a fucking trainer. A good strength coach isn't even that expensive, just ask around and vet people first, you don't want to pay some turd who thinks that just because he has muscle definition, can bench 275, and took a 3 week credential course that he can suddenly teach people how to lift weights.

if you add 10lbs a week to your squat starting with just the bar youll be over 2plate in ~5months

a lot of beginner routines actually increase by 15

My squat went from 50kg to 100kg in the space of a couple months and I started as a DYEL not very long ago. Yet my deadlift is only 60kg. I think I was built for squats but the majority of it is simply more volume.

Anyway, do more squats. Literally the best method for increasing any lift is more volume and more weight over time. Nothing fancy or significant about it.

I second this motion. To simplify matters (although all lifters should read this book), just transition to the Texas Method*, which is the next stage of progression after linear progression has been exhausted. The tl;dr of the book is this:

>novice lifters make adaptations ("gains") every session (a la Starting Strength)
>until they can't
>now they're intermediates whose adaptations ("gains") are developed more-or-less weekly (a la the Texas Method)
>until they don't
>now they're Klokov-tier elite and adapt monthly or so

Just make sure it's not your technique. Evaluate and if necessary re-train your squat (https://youtu.be/yWRkBH_q_Ag). If it turns out your technique is solid, then you've exhausted your adaptive capacity for linear progression, so you need a to adopt a periodization scheme, like the Texas Method. All this is of course presuming you're a recreational strength athlete whose primary goal is developing strength, that you're eating right, and that you're getting adequate recuperative sleep.
