Title: POLL:10 SETS OF 10 WITH 405 SQUAT, IS IT POSSIBLE????
Post by: The Squadfather on November 05, 2007, 05:57:56 PM
what do you think?

DE SQUAT DAY

11/4/07  leg day....and the sickest squatting I've done in awhile Again I saw someone do something so ridiculously sick on youtube that I had to try it. I saw a video of someone with elitefitness systems do 10 sets of 10 with 405 after warming up and had to give it a go. Now I know this isn't a westside style of squatting but until I figure out why my lowerback feels like someone is stabbing me on my spine with anything above 500 i'm just going to do whatever the fuck I feel like.  And today I surprised even myself.  Now before you guys call bullshit...this squat workout took me over an hour to too with ample rest to make sure I don't gas. I just wanted to complete it in no particular time frame but DAMN it was hard as hell those last two sets.


squats:
135x10x1
315x8x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1

platform speed deads off an 8" box:

135x10x1
225x5x1
315x5x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1

these felt awesome..I had to really really squat down low to pull these  up.

seated alternate dumbbell curls:

30xwhatever to warm up
75x8x1
75x6x1 EASILY! NEW PR!!! workin with the 75's finally! I think all the heavier back work is benefitting fthe bi's...and i'm only doing them once a week on sundays for one exercise.

Anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Remember, your sub-concious mindis very strong, you have the possibility to be 4 times stronger then your concious mind is telling you. Its time you get in touch with your feminine side, and do some power meditation to access the powerfull subconciouness geek.

Are you saying Doc never squatted reps? ::)

Besides, sets of 10 is not exactly "high reps", champ.  Sets of 20-30, maybe.  But not 10. ;)

BULLSHIT.

Charles Poliquin states:
The goal of the German Volume Training method is to complete ten sets of ten reps with the same weight for each exercise. You want to begin with a weight you could lift for 20 reps to failure if you had to. For most people, on most exercises, that would represent 60% of their 1RM load. Therefore, if you can bench press 300 lbs for 1 rep, you would use 180 lbs for this exercise.

So that means this guy can roughly squat around 800lbs? Yeah, um sure thing....::)

10 is VERY high for powerlifting purposes, it approximates to 75% of 1 rm for the regular trainee, and even less for a powerlifer (you probably know/can guess why) who trains primarily in the 1-3 rep range. I would guess that Doc rarely if ever squatted for higher reps (6+).  ;)

My good friend and long time training partner is a 10 sets of 10 with 405 junkie.

We often call each other after crazy workouts.  Of course, whatever the workout was, the other has to do it the next time they train that bodypart.  It's typical male insecurity/alpha male syndrome.

Last summer he called me up to tell me about the leg workout he had.
He went to the gym in the morning and did:
10 sets of 10 with 405 on squats
leg press
hack squats
leg extensions
leg curls

I don't remember the sets and reps for those exercises, because all I could focus on was what he said he did later that day.

He went back to the gym, 5 hours after the first workout, and did 10 sets of 10 with 405 again.
"to see if I could do it" was his reasoning when I asked.


I've trained with many of the strongest people in the world.  I've trained with bodybuilders and powerlifters in every state, so I'm way past the point of believing that in some dungeon somewhere, there lurks a man who's workouts put everyone to shame.  I know what strong is.

That's a crazy workout.
And, I didn't try to do it.  I admitted defeat.

10 is VERY high for powerlifting purposes,

You should keep your mouth shut because you're only showing your ignorance.  PLers don't just train with singles and doubles, though apparently you're under the impression we do.  Every competitor worth his salt incorporates different rep schemes into their training.  You start out with high reps and lower weights and, as you approach the meet, cycle down with lower reps and higher weights.  If you trained at low reps, high weight ALL the time, your CNS would get fried after a few weeks.  A few years down the road when you've had more experience under your belt, you might see what I'm talking about. ;)

GVT is w/ 60 sec rest in between sets though, Im sure wicked took breaks way longer than that. but still, being able to do 405 for 10 sets of 10 would put his squat atleast in the 600's.

Bullshit.  You're saying he did 200 reps with 405, all within a matter of 6 or so hours?  No matter how conditioned your legs are, NOBODY could handle that for ten sets of ten, without experiencing serious muscle fatigue afterward, such that you couldn't even dream of repeating it all a few hours later.

Yet again you show your ignorance (as well as the fact you've never squatted 405...).  405x10x10 would be at LEAST 800.  It would of course take said person a few months to condition the CNS, the joints, muscles etc to take the overload and to work from "endurance" to raw strength for a 1RM...

whats with the hostility? My first post was a joke.. anyway, i know PL'ers periodize their workouts (westside for example) and to my knowledge most keep their reps in the 1-5 rep range primarily. Incorporating different rep schemes prove helpful for the bodybuilder, by hitting different types of muscle fibers..but type II A fibers are the powerlifter's main concern to generate speed and power. I have heard of only a few PL'ers who use higher reps in their routines, most cycle their weights or change exercises to avoid CNS burnout which doesn't necessarily require doing more reps  ;)

You don't have to believe it.  
It's not like I go around making claims on anything.  I've trained with a lot of very strong people.  

The guy I'm talking about is a good friend of mine since we were kids.  We grew up playing sports together.  We trained through high school and college together.  
No one was as dedicated to training and conditioning as he was.  
He's had a rough go.  He's had 3 major back surgeries, with the last one lasting 12 hours.  He has 4 disks fused now, I believe.

I really enjoy training, and enjoy pushing myself.  The only person I've trained with that I could never beat was him.

no man, what are you talking about? 800?! that would put 405 at 50% of 1 rm... purely going by percentages it makes no sense that this would translate into an 800 squat. Practically speaking this may be the case for a pure powerlifter, but wicked trains higher reps for squats.

 On the 405 for 10/10, yes, I think some of the www.Elitefts.com guys could do it, most of them have totaled Elite in powerlifting, so it's not impossible. Also, if the clip is available, perhaps someone could post it? That way we could see depth, if they were geared up, etc....

Carefull, BB, according to "haider" a powerlifter only trains for low reps and couldn't come anywhere close to 10 sets of 10 for any weight. ::)

haha did you guys read what i actually wrote along with it and the other parts of my training log? You guys crack me the hell up. I did all these to parallel depth and no farther. I wanted to do the workout i saw some dude do on youtube. My squatting days are different from westside training because the right side of mylower back hurts when I walk out anything over 500lbs latey butnot when I deadlift. That entire squat workout ALONE..not including the deadlifts..took over an hour to do. That's alot of rest considering it takes about 30-45 seconds per set to do it.  With a belt and wraps squatting 405 for sets is easy! And tomorrow is max effort leg day but i think i'm going to pass...i'm still having trouble walking after all that.  :-\

AND YEAH THAT'S WHERE I SAW THAT WORKOUT! it was on the elite fitness youtube account! that dude puked all over the place! But he was going to the floor and didn't take near the time between sets I did. I just wanted to finish teh workout...just to see if i could. I think I averaged about 5 minutes rest between sets.

meltdown :D Not really sure where the attitude comes from, but you're just being an arrogant prick cuz I stated an alternative opinion. Maybe your ego's too fragile and you think I'm here to question your authority on the subject. Still, I ignored the insults and tried to reason with you, but you continued with the insults...not that I was ever arguing with you in the first place :-\ Funny  that you would bring age into the argument when you're not acting very mature yourself.

Still, I ignored the insults and tried to reason with you, but you continued with the insults...not that I was ever arguing with you in the first place :-\ Funny  that you would bring age into the argument when you're not acting very mature yourself.

what do you think?

DE SQUAT DAY

11/4/07  leg day....and the sickest squatting I've done in awhile Again I saw someone do something so ridiculously sick on youtube that I had to try it. I saw a video of someone with elitefitness systems do 10 sets of 10 with 405 after warming up and had to give it a go. Now I know this isn't a westside style of squatting but until I figure out why my lowerback feels like someone is stabbing me on my spine with anything above 500 i'm just going to do whatever the fuck I feel like.  And today I surprised even myself.  Now before you guys call bullshit...this squat workout took me over an hour to too with ample rest to make sure I don't gas. I just wanted to complete it in no particular time frame but DAMN it was hard as hell those last two sets.


squats:
135x10x1
315x8x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1
405x10x1

platform speed deads off an 8" box:

135x10x1
225x5x1
315x5x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1
405x1x1

these felt awesome..I had to really really squat down low to pull these  up.

seated alternate dumbbell curls:

30xwhatever to warm up
75x8x1
75x6x1 EASILY! NEW PR!!! workin with the 75's finally! I think all the heavier back work is benefitting fthe bi's...and i'm only doing them once a week on sundays for one exercise.

Yeah it is possible and one hell of a workout. I would have some reservations about the actual depth of them however.

If you had a clear head about it you'd see that I don't really disagree with you. That's not something I can make you do, but can hope for. You have a nice day, try not to heckle the younger kids around here  ;)

whats with the hostility? My first post was a joke.. anyway, i know PL'ers periodize their workouts (westside for example) and to my knowledge most keep their reps in the 1-5 rep range primarily. Incorporating different rep schemes prove helpful for the bodybuilder, by hitting different types of muscle fibers..but type II A fibers are the powerlifter's main concern to generate speed and power. I have heard of only a few PL'ers who use higher reps in their routines, most cycle their weights or change exercises to avoid CNS burnout which doesn't necessarily require doing more reps  ;)

this is correct. whether for speed or maximal effort, it's pretty rare any PL's go over 3-5 reps on a main lift. they'll hit a 1-3RM on heavy day and then do 8x2-3 for speed on another, but unless they're doing something specific like a deload week they're not often gonna aim for 10 reps to a set. exceptions might happen when it's an exhibition just to see, for example, how many reps they can get with X plates on something (Bolton pulling 800x8 or Wilk's 495x8 bench spring to mind)

however, i'm gonna spring a guess that 405x10x10 would be impossible for most mortals.

hahahahaha, exactly, don't forget the 8 singles with 405 deadlift standing on an 8 inch box immediately after that. ;D

got 500 for 2 easy singles today after box squatting today too btw...give me a month...and i'll try to pull 600 on video off it too. I think that will be about as long as it'll take for my body to adapt to the movement.

you're mainly talkin' westside here, right?  I was referring to Coan's famous peaking program.  The "older style", pre-westside PL peak progs tended to allow more of a place for 10 rep sets (though usually not higher than 10 from what I know of) at the start of a cycle.

For what its worth..when I trained with Makkawy years ago, Vince Gironda had him doing 10 x10 dips one day, and 10 x 10 chins next day. Did these workouts by themselves in evening after doing normal workout  for that bodypart (chest or back) earlier in the day.

yeah but that's 10 sets of bodyweight chins or dips not 405 fucckin' pounds on the barbell squat, anyone in decent shape can do 10 sets of 10 on chins or dips but try doing 100 reps with 405 on the squat and tell me if you live to see the next day.
