Can you squat 20 reps at 225/ 100kgs

[Hypertrophy]

I squatted my ass off using every scenario you could think of and still made shitty gains.......... if any at all.

Back in the day it was drilled into our heads that if you weren`t squatting,then you weren`t training.

My back is fucked today...........thanks Weider,Hoffman,Rader and Lurie !!  LOL 

When I switched to a hack squat machine my legs started growing like crazy and my back thanked me for it!

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

Aging Sucks.

19 with 420 ................GEEZUS bro that`s fucking insane.

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.

Comfortable & Front Squats Just Never go Together Least Not For Me. !! 😂

[Taffin]

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...

Yep. Mainly hack squat now.

[Bevo]

One member on here I think the scott said he could do 500, 20-25 reps, while drinking milk

[J. Richards]

315 x 20... in my 20's....  30's was 225 x whatever the day brought... 20 was the usual goal.... but what a great pump.....   50's.... none,,, resorting to the leg press... short rest between sets so i still get a good pump,,,, and don't throw on a ton of plates and regret it

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

some years ago was managing to do 20reps at 120KG twice a week, costs in the short term but the feeling of achievement is amazing and while lifting absolutely nothing else matters or comes to mind

[Equalizer]

How about 37 reps:  

[Virgil]

It's been a while but I bet I could, I'll give it a try this week

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.

building great legs is something you do when you have youth on your side

[wes]

I couldn`t do diddly SQUAT these days !

[Cableguy]

I used to do 20 ass to the floor reps with 225 when I was 155 back in the day. My legs were always large and strong. I wish my upper body matched!

[tommywishbone]

Yes sir. 225 X 20.  Affirmative.

[mong]

Drop set  360 6..320 6...260 6...210 7. Ended up in hospital. Exercise induced headache  er.....there was no headache but couldn't walk for a few days unassisted. Not sore legs just groggy.  360 for 16...goal was 20. Came out again 360 got 15. At that point sed fuck it! There ain't no 20 here! Always ass to the ground. Now? Ha..don't ask.

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

[Beefjake]

24x 245lbs  and 15x 290lbs @ 185

All time best.

[MAXX]

240orbust claimed 405x20

Yes - very machine dependent. I use an angled wide stance as opposed to feet together- and don't feel it at all in my knees. The moment I try something like Platz did my knees ache for days.

[Hulkotron]

Squatting has never been a strength of Hulkotron's, highest I ever got was 200 for 20.  Weighed about 175-180 at the time.

No, I don't want knee replacements in 20 years, or screwed lower back !.

[joeygym65]

I did 225 for 42 reps. Had to sit down and just breath for 30 minutes after.
