Congrats anon 3pl8 squat is p nice to have under your belt

Fuck I almost never see people squatting 3pl8 at the gym

>>38129032
I squat 2 pl8. And I bench 2 pl8. Legs are for losers.

>tfw finally hit 170 lb squat
First squat PR in over a year. Had an injury/had to stop lifting for a few months/had to deload majorly a few times to fix form/added leg accessories to workout
Feels good to finally start progressing

>>38129216

I finally got a 5pl8 Dl
>still no gf tho

>>38129268
I swear it seems like half the people I talk to at the gym claim that they were able to squat 600 lbs when they were playing football in high school

>>38129322
is it because a 5pl8 dl was 1x bw

>>38129332
My dad swears he could squat almost 700 and bench 400 at 190lbs. Tell him he either wasn't going parallel, is lying, was on gear, or was a world class weight lifter. Probably a combination of the first 3.

>>38129344
naw. bw approx. 205. probably gonna cut to 198 for comps.

>>38128810
>TFW only lmao1pl8 atg.
But almost 3pl8 diddly.
1.5pl8 bench.
80lb OHP.
My shit is fucked guys.

>>38129515
Does 1.5 plate mean 135+(135/2) so 202,5 or halfway to 2 plate (180)

I hit 275 for reps on the squat before starting my cut.
Down to 265 now, sucks.

>Squatted 3.5 plates when I was 16
>19 now, can't squat above 3 plate because of fucked up lower back

At least I can bench a lot, r-right?

>Turning 29 soon
>Lifting 4+ years
>Leanest I've ever been in my life (<10% Bf)
>Hit 315x10,10,10 squat (w/belt) today

I'm making it brehs

>>38130315
The bar is only calculated once, 1pl8 is 135, two is 225, etc. So 180 would be 1.5 pl8

>>38129332
I was in football as a freshman.
90% of people quarter squatted with shit form. Coach never gave 2 shits.
The only thing people were good at was benching.

>tfw nobody gave a shit about my squats

Fuawken ran the fuck out of those guys tho

>>38128810
>only squat 125
>bench is 120

i will never reach the magic 140

>>38130432
what do your legs look like?

>>38130607
Like mutant tree trunks that overpower my waist.

>>38130527
At senior year i was benching 205 for reps but could only squat 245. No one gave a shit either.
Honestly if you just wanna show off to normies just joke about your stats if someone asks. Say something like "i can do 2 and a half push ups"

>Tfw when finally hit 500lb deadlift
>Tfw finally hit 465 Squat
>Tfw finally hit 315 bench
>Tfw gained like 25lbs of fat to do it so it's not even impressive anymore because it's only like a few pounds more than I weigh
>Tfw can still do 15 dead hang pullups though

>>38130756
Is there a term for this? Its like a version of body dysmorphia except for your athletic performance.

>>38130854
All those lifts at my current weight of 260 with a beer gut are mediocre at best dude, downright laughable. Ask boardshorts he can confirm

>>38130905
You can lift more than pretty much anyone in a commercial gym and you can do 15 pull ups which means you have a fair amount of relative strength as well.
Stop being a fag.

>>38130919
That's all fine and dandy minus the fact I have coworkers who weigh 220 who got me beat by like 5lbs here 10lbs there etc etc. But then again I probably am lugging 40lbs of solid fat around whereas they're actually ripped

>>38130940
EC stack and HIIT unless cut.
You've got everything in place, you just need to make some calibrations to that pussy magnet.

>stalking around Twitter to see how old highschool friends are doing

>stalk some more
>find his little brother's Instagram
>video of the squat
>1/8 ROM aka knee bend
>shake my head and am severely disappointed in others around him not teaching him proper form because now he's making a fool of himself online

Never trust a highschooler when they talk about their lifts. Because needless to say, it's probably shit.

Also one question - how much easier is it to move heavy weight when you have 1/4 ROM or 1/6 ROM? I see videos of it all the time but then realize even unracking some of the weight these people "lift" would be quite heavy. What would a 4pl8 knee-bend "squat" translate to if they were hitting depth?

>>38129203
Lol, hit the bench faggot i bench 3 pl8 and cant even squat 2

>>38131116
I remember in high school film class some guy said he hit 225 bench for reps. He was really skinny but i thought hey maybe hes one of those guys with insane relative strength so i bekieved him.
Anyway couple months down the road i see him with a noob that hes teaching how to lift. At the end he puts 165 on the bar, struggles to half rep it 4 times and leaves.
High schoolers are the biggest e-staters.

"Achievements" on squats and deadlifts don't really count.

>tfw 5 discs two years ago

>>38131585
How can you slip 5 discs? Isn't that like breaking a breadstick by holding at each end and it breaking into 6 pieces?

>kept trying to squat for a year
>knees oddly sore, hip joints hurt, low ankle mobility, saps my energy for later lifts
>ask people how my form looks

"doesn't look quite right man" "knees shouldn't be hurting man" "you should go lower I think" etc. etc. etc.

>tfw stopped squatting
>full of energy for other lifts
>squatting made up for by deadlifts and back extensions

>>38135090
This

Squats are a meme. So are deadlifts

excuse me new faggot here. what does one plate weigh in this sense? I don't know of this standard.

>>38135202
45lbs/20kg

>tfw struggling with 1pl8 squat

>>38135202
a "pl8" is 20kg, but when we're talking in the context of 1, 2, 3pl8 and so on it means 60kg, 100kg and 140kg respectively.

>>38135161
>>38135090
Faggots.

>>38135409
I get very out of breath after a set. It doesn't feel right. Does anyone else get this?

My front squat is as deep as the plot of evangelion seen through the eye of a retarded weeb who know nothing else , but my back squat even without any weight or light weight can only go parallel , I'm beginner garbage tier ( 82 back , 68 front ) But I really wanna substitute the back for front in my SS , Can I do it if i don't care about min maxing my progress ? Or is the extra weight the back squat can add really necessary to carry over to dead-lifting ?

>>38136165
Rom = range of motion

>>38136213

how does 1/8, 1/6 and so on apply to ROM?

>>38136239
Only doing 1/6 of the range of motion , aka only doing a shitty squat where you just go 45° instead of parallel or even worse one where you just slightly bend your knee

>tfw 10 kg of the 1 plate OHP
