Title: Can you squat 20 reps at 225/ 100kgs

Managed 18 and nearly passed out after. There are some funny Levrone videos of him getting people to do 20 then puking up.

Yep - and I had to work up to it at first because it felt so hard! Very little carryover between doing 6 rep sets to 20 reps sets. I was doing sets of 315 for 6 at the time and figured I could easily bang out 20 at 225. Umm - nope, lol

I have for fun we sometimes do shit like that to get up for leg day 20 not an issue but doing 315 for 10 is hard I get to 6 or 7 and that's rough weird

In my day we'd rise at 5 AM, squat 225 for 20 before breakfast, then walk 8 miles barefoot to the one-room schoolhouse in a sub-zero blizzard dressed in dungarees and a thin flannel shirt, no hat or gloves.  After school it was a long walk home, then tossing hay bales on the farm until sundown. After a meal of beef from a fresh butchered cow and homegrown vegetables, we then did our homework by candlelight, writing with a piece of shale on the back of a flat shovel.  Then off to bed to do it all over again the next day.

You are all pussies.

I`ve done 20 reps with 250 while weighing around 160 pounds or so.

No fun at all but it will test your mettle for sure.

Worked up to it in a few months of doing squats at 19 when used to squat to parallel and focused on higher reps, at some point I started to squat as low as possible and pause in the hole and only ever went up to about 2 and a half plates a side for multiple sets of 5 and could never have done 20 in this manner and my cardio sucks balls now to boot I’d likely die going for 20haha

225 x 20 I can still do - Though I need plenty of air for those sets Now.

I bet,Front Squats are always a bitch on breathing ability and just plain hard to do becasue it`s hard to get in a proper "comfortable" position to do them.

Can't remember ever trying to get that high, but some posters have mentioned front squats.  One Summer I put a lot of effort into getting the technique down and could pump out quite a few @225 - best my legs ever looked and I'm certain it was those front squats...





Oh, and the Parabolan - mustn't forget that...

right now? prolly not

when I was 18 (in HS) I did 225lbs for 32 reps (record at powerhouse gym, Joliet, IL) for 200lbs and under :) had my name on the wall - proud moment for me


the book super squats (Ironmind catalogue) changed my world.

i can do one rep of 360 now, used to do two sets of 185kgs, 407lbs

to do 20 you need to fly through the first 10 and only start to lag at 15 or so, otherwise you just run out of oxygen in the blood and too much muscle pump

Post by: rocket on November 08, 2019, 02:36:35 PM
Not sure if I could, but it all comes down to gradually conditioning yourself.  Squat isn't the exercise to decide to spontaneously challenge yourself to do way more reps than you normally do.  You have to build up to it.  As soon as you unrack that bar, you're on the clock - regardless of whether you go fast or slow.  It's an uncomfortable feeling.  Sort of a rising panic. 

I would estimate that you need to have a 190-200kg 1RM to do that weight (your results may vary).

Post by: Joschka on November 08, 2019, 08:38:49 PM
I've never been a particularly strong squatter.  I think the most I got was probably 12-13reps on 90kg/200lbs at a body weight of 75kg/166lb, and that was doing back squats; I've always hated how my back and abdomen felt when I did them.  I've only just started doing front squats in the last few months; I don't really feel it all that much in those 2 areas, but so much more in the legs.  They're so uncomfortable, though.  It took me about 3-4 weeks just to get the technique right. I never really like to go past 10 reps squatting as I always feel I'm going to pass out, and this feeling is exacerbated for me when I do front squats.

For me, the squat was the best exercise ever.  I've got some personal bests in leg movements (squat, inverted leg press, leg extension and leg curl) that if I had not done them I would never believe them, LOL!  And Platz, while a contemporary of mine (time wise, mind you as I was never as great a bodybuilder as he was!), was not my inspiration. 

That would be J.C. Hise and the powerlifting men I trained with decades ago.  Good seeing you, brother!
