The other day there were these two guys who looked like high school kids. each was about 150 about 5'8". they were pressing 135 which wasn't too bad for how they looked. They thought they were strong and i was wearing a zipped up thing and i'm 5'11" 180 so I don't look like any kinda beast. Anyway since I have problems I'm always looking at people in the gym trying to size them up to see if they're bigger than me. Of course I knew those 150 guys were smaller than me but I've got muscle dysmorphia so sometimes I'll see someone 20 pounds lighter than me and think they're bigger. They thought I was looking at them because I was impressed with their strength. I was doing a few sets of leg press and was pyramiding up. my last set was with 3 plates of 100 and a plate of 45 on each side. The two of them just stopped to watch in awe... I felt good.

I don't work calves... I'm blessed

That incident was a while ago. 2 months. i just did squats today for the first time in like 3 months and I could only do 225 for 4 reps. my legs are definately weaker but not as weak as my lower back. the good thing is that when you are getting back into squatting your poundage goes up by 15 pounds every week.

.... I could only do 225 for 4 reps .... when you are getting back into squatting your poundage goes up by 15 pounds every week.

given 35 weeks left in 2006, by new year's eve you will be squatting 750 for four....

gibberj2 · « **Reply #188 on:** April 17, 2006, 07:16:37 PM »

no man you go up 15 pounds a week until you get to the weight you used to lift before.

triple_pickle · « **Reply #189 on:** April 17, 2006, 07:19:18 PM »

what was your max squat then?

gibberj2 · « **Reply #190 on:** April 17, 2006, 07:24:00 PM »

255 or so... 4 reps

triple_pickle · « **Reply #191 on:** April 17, 2006, 07:27:45 PM »

brutal poundages! this is so totally sweet and inspiring! do you mind, sir, sharing your leg workout? it would be so cool to squat as much as you do!

Outstanding work. Perhaps you should have pissed on him a little while he was trapped.

hell the guy could probably use the electrolites

Perhaps I can enlighten you.. Gibbler likes to warm up with sissy squats because he says that that defines the glutemus muscles much better then those lunges his personal instructor prescribed to him. Then for his real set he prefers to go for 4 really hard reps 225pounds around his waist but the real kicker is that he does them all with the squat suit around his neck for support after long and grueling setions Dr. Boninghisass, who wouldn't be "exhausted"?

Alexxx you are no sarcasm. what you're saying doesn't work in being funny because first of all i never claimed to be strong and secondly i never talked about your lifts. i only speak of your dilusions of having never been in contest shape or competed but claiming to be a future mr. olympia. go pour man gravy over your steak dinner... if you can afford steak.

gibberj2 · « **Reply #195 on:** April 17, 2006, 07:57:48 PM »

listen guys my goal for the end of the year in squatting is 3 plates. my ultimate goal is to be ripped at 195. my goals aren't so crazy and i am realistic... if you guys see my progress thread in the natural board you'll see i was the skinniest guy ever to pick up a weight. i used to do barbell rows with a 5 plate on each side.

Hey gibber, keep it up bro. At least you're honest. The funny thing is your probably lifting the same weights as many of these chode-chompers who are calling you a monster.
