why do you want to start squatting again?  i thought you wanted to be a bodybuilder?

[warez4gold]

too many RC videos

what are RC videos?  yes, i think you should keep squatting at least once a week.  why not?  squats are great. 

[warez4gold]

it can blow up your obliques, over develop your glutes, causes lordosis, back snaps etc

[ProudVirgin69]

Just do 2 plates max, you'll be fine

[ProudVirgin69]

like pump reps, no locking out


20 or so?

Yep, 10-20 reps.  If you keep rest periods between 30-60 seconds, 2 plates gets HEAVY

[warez4gold]

try 3-5 sets of 10-20 reps.  you'll be done!

[Max B]

just do leg extensions, leg press and hack squats brother. no need for regular squats if u must do them do front squats

[the trainer]

i hope i wont snap my shit up

did 5x140kg today, pretty easy


see how i feel tomorrow

I salute you halo time to put down the pussy leg workouts and do legs ronnie coleman style.

[ProudVirgin69]

how many sets?

i would do squats, and then leg press and that's it for quads

Til they're smoked bro....you must listen to the instincts you've carefully honed over the years.

If you can do 5 sets of 20 with 100kg, pump-style and 60 second rest periods, you are a strong fucking bodybuilder.  Plus the satisfaction of watching a fat permabulker struggle with 5x160kg, only to look like shit, is highly satisfying

[ProudVirgin69]

5x160kg with locked out knees is easy stuff

however i suspect it absolutely destroys your bones over time

Idk what's 4 plates in metric, 180kg?

Long story short, light weights are the secret

[Icelord]

Squats on the smith are ok
the regular stuff I avoid, don't get a great pump with it and it hits my knee tendons hard for some reason
leg press and hack squats leave me so jelly I can barely limp to the car
sticking with that

[ProudVirgin69]

BUT

while 100kg is hard as hell in the way you described

is that really going to build size?


just for theory question, in fact leg deosnt need too big, just wondering

You raise an excellent point, one that i fear will never be answered conclusively.

If you want to squat without widening your waist or injuring your joints, do it in the manner described.  For maximum size.............fuck if i know 

[Mawse]

I still do them, but nothing like I used to as a fat power lifter

3-4 seconds down, pause for a second, squeeze up, don't explode - flex the quads to get out the hole.

night and day.

back up to 405 for 4 this style and it's harder in some ways than 545 the old way.

What do you think about needing heavy weights for maximum size?  Or can someone get pro size legs with 315 and enough drugs

shit, have to ask someone with pro-sized legs that question

315 for 4 sets of 10 done the way I do them should be plenty stimulation. Are they 'better' than fast squats? Who knows, they are safer though, and safety is really the only thing you can control. The rest is drugs and genetics :x

I used to train in the same gym as wong hong the ''Asian sensation'' here and I think he never went over 275 for squats, his legs were huge

very true. legs do not need heavy lifting to grow. En France, I used to train with Renel Janvier and Thierry Pastel. neither went over 160kg, ever.

It has been scientifically proven that you make more gainz by watching platz videos.

[oldtimer1]

I would say the over whelming majority of guys doing the squat short stroke it so they can load up the plates to impress. Some of these guys would be stuck if they truly sank all the way down with 275lbs.  I just saw two guys using 405 and they were barely bending their knees. They were calling them half squats but I would call them 40% range of motion squats. They would have been better off using 225 and sinking it in a controlled manner.

Every day is leg day.
