(SQUATS) Whats a good amount of weight?

[PUMPINSTEIN]

Wondering if im doing ok. squated 420 tonight for a easy 10 reps . im weighing in around 192lbs now,

 

[Swolen]

Are you being sarcastic

 

[footballcat]

Umm i can do that like 2 times, damn good job

 

[PUMPINSTEIN]

no im being serious, i felt like i could have done 500lbs, but the last 3 reps my legs were a wobbling . felt like i was gonna throw up afterwards.

 

[footballcat]

sounds like you worked them hard. How do you fell right now

 

[Taz30]

That's an okay amount i guess. I weigh 410 lbs and squat 192.

 

[PUMPINSTEIN]

what do you mean bullshit ! footballcat i felt kind of sick right afterwards , but after i showered and eat i feel better.

 

[PUMPINSTEIN]

bros i was just looking for some honest feedback because all my friends just do upper body stuff and i have nothing to really go by.

 

[Teph-lon]

no one else does squats in your gym u can compare too?

and like Swollen said: are you being sarcastic? lol

ez.

[superchicken]

as long as they werent baby squats and you actually went parallel thats very good at 192lbs.

 

[MacGyver]

I hear ya SC.....there are guys at my gym that do 4 plates a side, but I would lave to see them even do triple plate paralell.
But there is also a big difference if you are 6'2" @192lbs or 5'6" @192lbs.

 

[PUMPINSTEIN]

no guys i work out at home, im 5' 7'. so nobody to really compare too. I go down to parallel. this was the only time doing legs that i could feel my legs burning. if i can walk by next week im going to try 500 lbs. also ive been working out for about 16 years.

 

[RF426]

You've been working out 16 years?! With that amount of experience you should have known that 420 @192 is pretty good.

Smells fishy, but good job (just in case this question was caused by a brain fart).

Have you ever thought about powerlifting???

[highlandgamer]

Damn bro, your in Ohio, better get into some powerliftin with those kind of numbers, Plenty of competitions right around where you are at there in Cleveland.

nd yesthat is a good squat. I am going to attempt a PR single tonight with around 440 and I weigh 260. You do the math.

Pump. Yes 400+ for 10 when you're less than 200 is very good. Matter a fact you got me beat. Currently I am stuck at 405 for 6 and I am 250. Since you're in Cleveland drop me a line. I can hook you up for some free passes into World gym. Lotsa big boys in there and a fair amout of power lifters. You really shouldn't be squating that much without a spotter anyway.

[cassiousclay]

the best gains I get from squats are when I go about 70-80 of max...and go deep...i mean to the point where my ass is almost hitting the floor....

 

[hydrajack2]

No flame intended at all...but my question is this... how do you squat 420 for reps? i mean, how did you choose that weight?

because if you have the bar at 45 lbs and 4 plates a side, thats 405. 420-405= 15 lbs. so to me it would look really funny to see 4 plates a side plus a 5 lb and 2.5 lb weight added to each side. if it were someones max, maybe so. unlees your gym has collars that weigh like 7.5 lbs each. most i have seen are 5 lbs or the wire ones at like 8 ozs.

anyway, not a flame, just the amount of weight doesn't make sense to me.

but what do i know?
