Squat and General Activity Update

Walter Sobchak is literally a shaved lowland silverback gorilla.

He is a homicidal pansy and his 130 lb girlfriend could kick his pasty ass.

He’s a queer biscuit with gravy !

Hi Wes 🙋‍♀️

Don’t you have an “OFF” switch?

Go Google how to put on your knee wraps and stop causing a commotion.

[chaos]

Wear a T-hirt...preferably with no bra....LOL...and put chalk on the bar and chalk on the area the bar rests on,on your t-shirt also....it`ll help but just a bit.

LMAO!

135 lbs of powerlifting terror !

Why would I squat in my socks ?

Because walking on a gym floor barefooted is fucking disgusting?
I'm still waiting for the vids so we can do a form check.

I don’t go barefoot in the gym, you Ass Tampon !

I got some good downhill mountain biking videos but I’m also having GoPro issues. First I had an SD card issue and now I got water behind the lens somehow ?

Please tell me you know how to fix this, so I won’t have to start calling you CaliShitzo ?

Ass Tampon.

Wearing just socks allows your feet to "feel" the floor better to get your drive right, IMO. I wore Chucks for years and still do except for squats and deadlifts. Send the downhill vids!
Go pro issues? Throw it away and start over. I think the 9 is waterproof?

I never squat...

Hi Vince 



I never unracked more than 405 for a grunty 4 or 5 a couple of times in the 'Year of Sustanon'

I actually found that pumping sets of 315 x 20/15/10 were more than enough to blow me up initially in the first few years

Then I really got into front squats wearing those thin surf shoe things - never really went back to legit squats

Placing a 2 X 4 under the heels or even a couple of 10 pound plates when squatting decreases range of motion at the hip and improves the range of motion at the knee,which helps to recruit more quad muscle fibers.

I used to deadlift in gymnastic slippers/shoes or those flat soled black karate shoes.

Could never entertain the idea of squatting in socks......could be why my quads looked like shit.  '

surely you understand that is not the actual speed of my reps.I just thought it made a funny picture

The one thing I learned about quads is they respond a lot more to volume than other body parts. My speedskating friends never touch a weight and yet they get huge legs.


This is typical of how big these guys legs get:

HOLY SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111

My quads did respond better to higher reps and more volume.

Going too heavy forces you to concentrate more on form so you dont get fucking killed.....plus IMO, you need that mind/mucle connection which you cant get when using a ton of weight.

I dont mean to say you should use baby weights......just a disclaimer.

Actually a cycling friend of mine decided he wanted to sprint faster so he did sets of 50 squats with a 100 pound barbell. He fucking blew up. I never saw anything like it. He did set after set. I could never do that- I'd go insane!


I do think it's all about generating huge amounts of lactic acid.

Wes what did you leg workouts look like when you were training for a bodybuilding contest.Did you do the non stop giant sets for legs too

OK, so you just out-gayed my use of surf sandals!

I think the same - especially as a taller dude, which is why I kinda stuck at 315 and built up from there.  I remember that Shawn Ray video where he was repping 315 nice and smooth - machine like - and that was what I visualised (no h0mo)

F yeah - you are A+ GB legend

Back in the day there was a Greek kid who trained in our gym.....he did 20  squats with 135.185,205,225,250,then he would do as many as he could get with 200 pounds......kid looked great....name was Jack Kousaris....placed in the NABBA Universe if I recall or he entered it at least.'

He`s on musclememory.com sevreal times but each time his name was misspelled wrong......if you searched alphabetically under the letter "K", you could figure out who he was regardless of the fucking misspelling.

HIS FUCKING QUADS WERE UNREAL !!

That's because it's a gif with low frames, and not a video.

Yes I did for the most part ,.....changed things up often though....at times I would do four  exercises then do squats last to save my back, still felt heavy as my quad were fried.....or I might do pre-exhaust.....anything that was intense.....drop sets, super set, tri sets, giant sets, strip sets,etc. etc.
