Not a lot but at least I don't have 3 spotters ;D...this is 400

impressive
-
all kidding aside that's good stuff, good form.
-
Used to think you were ok, till these guys showed me the emails of you telling about 300 lies. Now I think you're garbage.
-

Not quite to parallel and you're using your lower back a bit too much toward the end (watch that b/c it can lead to SERIOUS injury), but all in all looks impressive. Good job.
-
hold on...i got one with 5 plates too...
-
good job. maybe your not such a bad guy after all.
on the other hand for a guy on 1 g test/week its really nothing special at all.
-

no he's not using too much back and he's at least parallel on every rep, he's not rock bottom but he's at least parallel.
-
both videos are bellow parrallel...get your eyes checked..I used to squat all the way down...I'm wiser now
-
No offense but that sucks for a juicer. I squatted 335 for 7 at age 18. Maybe it's because your intensity is so mininmal?
-
both videos are bellow parrallel...get your eyes checked..I used to squat all the way down...I'm wiser now
as much shit as i give you i've got to give you props on those, good squat, you're exactly where i am squat wise, this is much more impressive than you claiming 700 on squats and deadlifts.
-

You might be right, I could be mistaken on the depth but it looks like he's a hair above parallel. Not bad at all. Better form than you see from 95% of gym rats.
I saw a bit of back rounding toward the end. Again, not a lot, but it's good to be aware of even the tiniest margins for error because one sloppy set of heavy squats can kill your back forever.
But again, sevastase, good job.
-
why are you wearing a pink shirt?
-
you could lower to 3 plates and go ass to grass.
no need to impress the local gym rats or bitches..
-

Whoa there pal, I was giving you a compliment. It does look slightly above parallel but who cares, you're down far enough.
And FWIW, squatting ATF is better for your knees and overall leg development than parallel or even a bit above parallel... ;)
-

he's more than deep enough for quad growth and strength, he goes far deeper than 95 perent of guys you see in gyms.
-
why are you wearing a pink shirt?
it's actually red...and it's a t-shirt I wore when I was big...it reminds me of where I wanna be...:)
-
I hope u guys like the videos , especially the 5 plate one.... ;) I gotta go sleep now...I :P'm whipped.
-
No offense but that sucks for a juicer.
Whoa you serious, this guy juices? ???
-
impressive bro
it seems like u handled that 405 pretty easily
-
So why are you so skinny then Sevaste?
-
very impressive for being <200lbs
especially the 495 for 3
extra points for being barefoot...lol
-

I'd like to ask the same thing, especially if it's true he juices? ???
-

i will agree with that 100%.
but does that mean its better..
most guys i see dont really know what they are doing. lift to impress and/or dont really make an effort.
-
Wow :o Legs of steel!
-
Gotta admit those were great but then again I never said you didn't have good legs but still you made it look easier then I thought you would. One day I will be there, I just gotta have patience.
-
One day I will be there, I just gotta have patience.
How long have you been lifting?
-
How long have you been lifting?
About 3 1/2 yrs but only about 1yr in an actual gym. I can get about 335 for 8 (in the smith machine) but I havn't gone heavy in a while as I have been using Milos like methods for my leg training. I am also about 205+lbs and 6'0".

does your gym have a power cage or squat rack? Those are infinitely better than smith machines.
-

and of the 95% at the gym less than 50% actually work their wheels...
-
Good squats bro!!
-

Well I don't exactly have a squatting body and my legs are slightly uneven. It's enough though that I don't feel comfortable going over 3 plates off the rack or going all the way down with more then 2 plates. I don't know for sure though I havn't really tried in a while, like I said I have been doing more of a Milos style leg day and ocassionally go light out of the rack.
-
i am impressed as well. props.
-
cant hate here >:( that was decent
-
A GETBIGGER THAT ACTUALLY LIFTS WEIGHTS???
-
very impressive for being <200lbs

AGREED!
-
MONSTER BB.com belt!!! ;D
Looking good, keep up the good work!
-
Rat Mcbat hahah great name
-
quick reps, so you made it look fairly easy. mile above || regardless. ;D
-
very impressive especially for being bare foot.
-
Weight and form are very good bro. But your legs and calves are still very thin. Now, if you are already doing 405lb for reps but your legs are big, how much weight will it take to make them grow??
I see this a lot at my gym. A skinny guy with great strength but limited muscle mass. I feel kinda sorry for them because let's face it...if your legs aren't big using 405 what can you do? Use 605? nah. Just stuck with skinny legs for life. Sorry bro :(

Agree.
Very good squats, both vids. The 500 is above parallell however.
IMO, it looks like seva is used to handle lots of weight, the walkout is a piece of cake.
sevastase: have you ever tried squatting without a mirror?
-
Good job!
-
Not a lot but at least I don't have 3 spotters ;D...this is 400
hey I'm impressed -- you actually did it and did it well!
now where's TA's 112x225???

his legs and calves are far from thin, are they Coleman or Cutler sized, no, not by a country mile but who's are? he has good sized legs though.
-

Man I miss old school metal plates like that. My Gym got rid of all of them a year ago and we lift rubber plates now. I miss the clanging sound... music to my ears.
Good squats.
-

Ass to ankles, just like in Jail my friend... Otherwise, good deal!

PROPS ON THE SQUAT! NICE TO SEE SOMEONE WITH GOOD FORM MOVING BIG WEIGHT!
I do have one question though, for all the flapping your gums do and as big as you are, why are you only putting up 405 for only 8 reps? Need to spend less time talking shit on the pc and more time busting ass in teh squat cage. Loved the vid though. I'm going to use it as an example for those looking for a vid on how to squat properly.

WT, you should post a vid of you squatting. You put up some pretty damn impressive numbers. Mad props, mate! 8)

I can def see him doing 700lbs weighing 40lbs more, and being juice to the gills.

No one I know one and we have camera nazi's at our gym. >:( I caught some shit for using my camera phone trying to take some form pics of my bent over barbell rows to make sure I was hitting it right and I got the speech. I said "I don't need a speech...just warn me not to do it again so I can get on with my workout please!"
I did post some pics though in my workout log if that satisfies your curiousity.
on a side note. If sevatese is a powerlifter when it comes to squats and does numbers instead of reps, he can easily hit 600 or better in a few months time.

Damn for real? Why would they have a policy against taking pics of yourself while lifting? Gyms in New Zealand are much cooler about that kind of thing. 8)

Yep. They've got little plastic signs PROFESSIONALLY PRINTED put up on the mirrors and on the pillars of the buildings as reminders. Re fucking tarded if you ask me. But then again I'm not sure what could possibly happen if you took pics or had a short vid of you lifting. I do know however in the business world for something like that to happen, someone would've had to have done something to cause such an uproar. Like some girl getting pissed cuz some shortstack decided to take pics of her ass on the leg curl machine.
-
::) FAKE PLATES
;D
Nah, quite impressive

LMFAO! Very true!

Looks great. In the past I used depth as well as weight to impress...ass to grass with only a few inches clearance. It caught up with me. Not a necessary or fun injury. On the other hand...no risk no reward? Nice video though.

I don't like the mirror....I find it distracting...I'll film it next time from a side view to show u that is bellow parrallel . the angle of the camera makes it deceitful...oh well..

I stopped at 8 to save some energy for the 5 plate set.

Makes perfect sense. I do the same thing. I didn't realize you had a five plate set til after I posted that. I thought that was the big show you were bringing. 5 plates to the ground, that's a big squat in my book. :)
-
I'll play devil's advocate here, although I would like to make PERFECTLY CLEAR that those videos are very inspirational and represents the art of TRUE LIFTING.
But, i would like to adress something that came up in another post.
As good as Seva's lifts are, i don't think they are causing a lot of damage in his quads muscles, hypertrophy wise. His assertive about saving some energy for a heavier squat - 5 plates - sums it up. As good and strong that lift was, he made 3 reps only. That's NOT growth inducive. He would reap much better benefits taking his sets to ABSOLUTE failure with slightly higher reps, getting a spotter behind just for the sake of safety and to get green lights to go balls to the wall and not run the risk of missing a rep or getting stuck. In that sense, i think 3 and a half plates each side or possibly 4 plates like he did, BUT taken to absolute failure, for about 4 or 5 sets around 10 or 12 reps would TRANSFORM his legs all around.
In my book, judging by the way he structures his sets, he's more concerned in getting his numbers up and/or getting stronger. If the goal is maximum growth, change the attitude, or at least change the structure and direction of the program and start to rotate slightly lighter days with a bigger volume of sets taken to failure, more reps and less weight.
Having said that, CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE AWESOME LIFT AND WORK ETHIC. We know that is not easy at all. Props!!

Good work Sevastase! :)

excellent post
Thanx, man!! Appreciate it!

Sevastase,
Props bro. Great lifting. I notice Squadfather has tucked his tail between his legs in this thread. He claims to squat 495 for sets of 8, yet he refuses to post a vid to prove that claim. Until he posts a vid, it's all bullshit lies. You, on the other hand, have scored some major points on Getbig with this video! :)

I've always been a big fan of backing up any claims ... However , those videos got nothing to do with leg developement...they're more of an ego trip.

Good stuff. 8)
I just wish Squadfather would now back up his supposed squat claims with a vid. He won't do it, though, because he lies about how much he actually squats.
Ironic, isn't it? All this time he was criticizing you, yet all this time you are actually much stronger and have more lean muscularity than he does. 8)
-
good squat.. not quite rock bottom..
but good nontheless
-
Brutal romanian accent, epic "save our ears and put damns collars", nasty 90's "it's a beatiful life" playing in the backgroud.
But pretty good for a guy with a small frame like yours.
-
Why aren't more of sevastase's posts like this, less bullshit and more Bodybuilding. I think i may have seen a pic of sevastase somewhere around here ;D and he does have good legs! Great lifts and a good thread 8).
-
I'd like to ask the same thing, especially if it's true he juices? ???
I've been juicing for 5 weeks dude...hold on...muscle doesn't grow like bamboo...it takes a little time..even with muscle memory ...clean I was doing 315 for 10 reps. U gotta be carefulwith the weights because only at 18 u have rubber joints. As we get older we injure more easily ..at least I do.
-
Good lifts, plates look fishy though. They are grouped in there with bumper plates on the Floor. At my gyms powerlifting section we have plates that look like 45's but are actually 25's, so the power/olympic lifters are still using weights with the same size overall diameter. You'll see little queers put 4 on each side and bench it to make it look like they are big benchers. They are metal and clang when they hit each other but the bar doesn't bend like it would with 405.
Sevastatse, I'm not saying you used fake plates, just pointing out the possibility. Good work.

Brutal envy, epic self hate.
Excellent work Sevatese! Don't listen to all the 'guys' complaining about not going to the floor - they looked great to me! Keep up the good work!
-
very good squats, like some people said, a lot better than 90% of people you see normaly in gym.
good work! very strong
-
another jailhouse expert ::)
HAHAHAHA in jail they don't do bent over rows they do "lawnmower pulls" HAHAHA they are some of the stupidest trainers in the world but some look fantastic for being morons.
-
Great video! You handled the weight very easily on both sets.
-
decent video, but when are you gonna give up the pussy squat and put out some videos doing leg extensions?

I was expecting this from a fitness model such as yourself . This is Romania so the gym has 124 different plates olympic, makeshift , whatever , those plates are 20 kilos a piece ...there are also 15 kg plates , 25 kg plates ...and so on. maybe next video I'll weigh the plates on camera so u won't have any doubts . ::) U outweigh me by 100 lbs or so u said i'm sure u can squat 500 easily right ? for more than 3 ...right?
-
Great video! You handled the weight very easily on both sets.
Thanx chris...I'll try to put a video of benching and deadlifting too . I'm a powerlifting fan even though I rarely go heavy (at least what heavy is for me ) nowadays...only to impress dballin on the internet :P.
-
you could lower to 3 plates and go ass to grass.
no need to impress the local gym rats or bitches..
Don't forget though, the lower you go the more stress you put on your knees. For a four plate squat his form is good. All kidding and ranting aside, props to you for that lift Sevestase.
PB

Not to be picky, but if the plates are 20kg and the bar is also 20kg u are squatting 396 not 400

LOL, but seriosly squatting in the 300's while on one 1g test a week is nothing impressive at all
-
We're all praising his form. For all we know those could be fake plates or a strip of 25lb plates that are the size of 45's. A lot of Euro gyms have that. Either way his form was good.
-
I don't mean to be a skeptic but what's with all the clanking in that video? Those plates are hardly moving but it sounds like a cacophony of cowbells in there. I've squatted for years without clips and it never makes a racket like that. What gives?
-
Yep, Impresssive.
-
Not trying to hijack the thread - but yet running the risk to do so! :P - here's rock bottom squats, 3 plates/side, 20 kg, although not with an olympic bar.

the difference between 140 kilos and 220 kilos is that with 220 kilos on your back u won't get up . :D

I wouldn't expect different form you, pig boy. Believe me, they are VERY 20KG REAL. They were on my back, so I must know......
And by the way, if you read my first post in this thread commenting about Seva's videos, you would know taht i could care less about how heavy is the weight on the bar, as long as my HYPERTROPHY PURPOSES are met, and sound , good form imposes itself over how heavy i'm lifting.
I'm sure you'll be much more confortable about flaming someone as soon as you post clear, high definition training pics, not shitty, blurry ones shot with $ 5,00 cameras! ;)

hahahahah, damn dude sounds like i touched a nerve, all i said was that those look like 25 pound plates and you go off on a rant, hahahaha, that's a sure sign that i'm right, that's ony 195 pounds.
-

Have you ever seen that Platz's video where he's squatting 5 20 kg plates perside, for 20 reps? Someone please, post a link for that video on youtube.com so everyone can see it. Seva, you'll see that is perfectly possible to get down THAT low with 5 plates a side and 'actually' GET UP !!!
-

you put 315lbs on your back without a rack?
if those are legit standard weights (they are usually thinner then olympic) the would be much bigger then that...but whatever, i think you saw 20lbs instead of 20kg

Dave, why don't you shut up all the haters and just make a vid of YOU squatting? Why do you always criticize people instead of just manning up and posting vids of yourself? ::)
-
Hey, squad, didn't hit a nerve at all. I have thick skin, otherwise i would not post on the getbig, and for 3 years, now. I only said taht because i have been reading your posts and i'm familiar of your way around here. You are always very fast on your feet to criticize others and make fun , etc, and that would be ok in my book IF, and only IF, you could back up the checks your fat mouth write, that's all. Until then, you are one of those who should not flame at all, because you certainly can't do better than your 'victims'!
And for those that are saying those are not 20 kg plates, if you watch it closely, you would see i am not using an olympic bar. Hence, it should be perfectly clear that those are NOT OLYMPIC PLATES. That doesn't mean they don't weigh 20 kg. Their shape are the only difference, they have a smaller diameter than as olympic weight and their central hole is not olympic, it's smaller too. Notice how thick they are. This is to make up for the smaller overall size of the plate to meet the 20 kg weight.

I'm not the one criticizing everyone else, now am I? ;)
BTW, why do you keep following me around and responding to EVERY single post I make? Doesn't that smell of desperation? ::)

Fair enough, you can think all you want and make a fool of yourself. I will keep squatting those 'fake' 20 kg plates and keep reaping the benefits, while you will continue to post on here 24/7, 365, 24 hs a day and still showing off those blurry shitty pics of yourself and proud of that, attaboy!

That's right, keep doing what you're doing in the gym. It speaks volumes about Dave that he literally posts on this site from morning til night, non-stop. No way this 'guy' has a real job. We saw from his pics that he lives in substandard housing with 1960s decor.
-
yea the pics squadfather posts you can't even hardly make out.I mean how hard is it to have someone take a picture of you.
-
Isn't that funny how everytime squadfather is on the spotlight suddenly he disapears? Why is that? Wonder why... ::)
-
I don't mean to be a skeptic but what's with all the clanking in that video? Those plates are hardly moving but it sounds like a cacophony of cowbells in there. I've squatted for years without clips and it never makes a racket like that. What gives?
And the plates are "ringing" at a higher pitch which indicates that they are of a lighter mass, therefore a higher resonant frequency. Just like a small bell dings at a higer pitch than a larger heavier bell when struck.
If they are truly 20kg plates then sevastese is pound for pound one of the strongest people on getbig. Impressive lifts if legit.

I was expecting this from a fitness model such as yourself . This is Romania so the gym has 124 different plates olympic, makeshift , whatever , those plates are 20 kilos a piece ...there are also 15 kg plates , 25 kg plates ...and so on. maybe next video I'll weigh the plates on camera so u won't have any doubts . ::) U outweigh me by 100 lbs or so u said i'm sure u can squat 500 easily right ? for more than 3 ...right?
Calm down tiger, I was pointing out the fact that at my gym there are olympic plates that are lighter. I never discredited your lifts. There are guys all over youtube that are 405 benchers now. I was just pointing out the possibility. Feeling guilty?
And where do you get that I weigh 100 lbs more than you? The last time I checked 240 - 180 = 60.

it's called Logging Off and Enjoying Life Outdoors, try it sometime you'll like it, the direct sunlight might hurt your eyes at first but you'll be OK after a few minutes.

Let's see, you've logged no less than 800 posts about Sarcasm since July 1st, spend your weekends and every weeknight/day on this site following him around this forum, melting in pm's and claiming to be Kiwiol. Yup, you really are pathetic. Good to see you're starting to realize it.

Nice to know that you have the decency to actually leave he basement from time to time so your mom can clean it better for you. :-X Although she has been complaining about those skid marks you have been leaving on your toilet bowl.... :-[
-
I have seen the video and it's quite inspirational might I add . You however are not him . ;D . Sorry , I had to 8)
Sevast,
Your 5 plates is a good lift with good form. That's good strength for a 180lber. Obvious to me those plates are 45ers.
-
good job. maybe your not such a bad guy after all.
on the other hand for a guy on 1 g test/week its really nothing special at all.
trust me bro...Their are tons of guys out there that use a gram of test that couldn't even get under these weights...For this guys size...These lifts are impressive...Not only that, he looks like he could get 5 more reps easily..

impressive analysis ...I'm speechless. 500 X 3 at 210 is not that impressive trust me. I've seen much better .
-
We have similar 20kg metal plates in our gym so I believe him, and they make the same ringing sound.
Very impressive lift with great form. Keep up the good work.
-
I thought I'd show evryone that swimmers train hard... ;D

Sevastase, how tall are you and how much do you weigh?
I love how everyone says it is a "good lift for your size". 5 plates completely raw for 3 easy reps is excellent for ANYONE irrespective of drug use or size.

Thanx chris...noone else noticed that I don't have kneewraps and I'M barefooted . I weigh 2oo lbs at 5'11" .

good lifts spermastase. + the reps are very smooth, as they should be! good strength, but to add mass listen to gh15 and shoot for the high reps on legs...medium weight and 12-15 reps!
squat
legpress
leg extensions
-

I like how you can unrack and walkout 500lbs like it is nothing. Even a bit of a calf raise there at the start to really test your balance with 500lbs on your back. Just amazing!!

good job sevastase. im surprised fatty hasnt accused you of using fake plates and having someone in the background making the noise of the plates hitting eachother.

who the fuck are you. most bodybuilders with huge legs know that it takes alot of reps to really work the quads...medium weights 12-15...even 20 reps per set. high volume for the quads. Of course sometimes you can go low reps for the quads..but 80-90% of time...do the 12-15 rep sets and pump that blood into the quads.
for hamstrings..use slightly lower reps.

Calm down, Seargent, whatch the BLOOD PRESSURE......I was just kidding, beacuse I , too, advised about lowering the weight and increase the intensity, reps and sets to Seva (refer to my first post in this thread, page 1 or 2).
Now get back to count your BPMs....

hahaha go fuck yourself, balthazarian whore.
for calves use both high and low reps..and remember that the seated calf raise is not needed. ;D
spermastase, still forcing pills down your gfs throat?

Agreed. Total waste of time. A combination of 45 degrees leg press toe presses and standing calf raises produces a lot more results.
-
yep..as the seated calf raise hits more soleus and not much gastrocnemius...the standing calf raise hits both. the best calf exercises are standing calf raise, donkey calf raises (machine or porn style), leg press calf raise.

I am sure u can back up your theories with a pic proving great calf developement. ;)

I wrote a few pages back that normally I do much higher reps and much lower reps ..this was just just to issue a challenge to all the keyboard warriors. ;D

Guy you are such a joke. Your ego is so fragile. Sounds like I struck a nerve. Watch the vid.
at about 13 seconds into this you can see that there are diff color plates same size on the ground to the left and right. I guess they just keep the bumper plate with the real weights. ::)
My guess is you are using powerlifiting plates. They are all the same diameter. Ivanko makes them in black and grey range from .5 kilo to 10 kilos ( http://www.titansupport.com/products/dumbells/ivanko.htm ), they are made so people can train for contests or ego lift like you. Have you noticed the large amount of 150lb guys on youtube who bench 400+.
How about you post a vid where you show the actual weights as you load them and go from there.
With 495 the bar should be bending a lot more across your back. ;) ;D 8)

let him try that being off

Not a lot but at least I don't have 3 spotters ;D...this is 400
all drugs ;D
-
all drugs ;D
and fake weights. ;)
-
hmmm i wonder if mike arvilla could squat 135 as well as savetese does 40f ;D
I would bet mikes 135 lb squats would not have as good form as savetes 405!
-
how the fuck can someone bench 405 for a perfect 3 reps...and still have a shitty chest
its not possible...those are probably 25lb plates

he sure doesn't look like he's anywhere near these weights. would be fucking pathetic of sevaste if what dballn says is true..

I believed him at first, but when I saw the bench vids, I was thinking O Brother another Youtube lifter.
The Ivanko plates have been around for a while, guys at my gym put 4 on each side and then walk around with their gallon of water. They are clowns.
-
Plus, five plates makes the bar bend. I was squatting a measly three plates today and when ya bounce a little the bar bends. Heck, you can even make teh bar wiggle a bit with two plates if you try.
Sevates's twig legs couldn't stand with five plates on a bar
-
I remember i walked into my school gym the first time and i see this guy doing standing shoulder presses with 3 plates a side, he didnt weigh more than a buck 50 and i was pretty stunned then later in my work out i see another guy doing the same thing and im thinksing i must be the weakest muthafucka int the gym till i realised they were doing a combined total of 40 kilos. i can up sevatese one and post a video of me doing 6 plates and no belt.

Exactly 5 plates makes the bar bend while on the rack, let alone your back. Plus when you rerack it tends to move the whole squat rack.
That is why he uses these:

He's also annoying :P

Thats alot of weight. I would suggest slowing your descent & spending more time in the bottom position. I assume you are a bodybuilder. You could develop even more muscular legs if you controlled & engaged the weight more, just like any other exercise.
You are powering thru these too fast. That being said, you made alot of weight look pretty easy. Good depth too.
-
you could lower to 3 plates and go ass to grass.
no need to impress the local gym rats or bitches..
Isn't it true that some people flat out can't squat to the floor because of their bone structure? I thought I read that in a Muscular Development (I think the one with Desmond Miller on the cover). The absolute lowest I can go is that of a baseball catcher's stance.

Yeah, I can't go much past parallel, my ankles just dont bend enough. I put ten pound plates under my heels to go a lil lower, but still not as low as some. Unless i break my ankles somehow n make the tendon longer. :P
-
Got to say that that is pretty impressive given your weight and height.
Also - got to agree with you on the bare feet policy - I always found that squatting without shoes gave me alot more power up thru the heels and limited the amount of lateral movement that trainers tend to allow.
As far as those people who say the weights are fake -why would you bother (rhetorical).
Good lift - a little fast for me personally but then having said that I got injured badly doing them slow anyways so to each his own.
Inspirational stuff.
-
Those were good lifts, BUT are those 45lbs/20kg plates??? well,,,,,,only you will know for sure ;)
