If you can bench 275 at 165 you have some solid strength there. Just remember when squatting to drive your knees out and maintain a fairly upright torso. A stronger squat will translate to a stronger.....everything else.

High Bar Backsquat: Bar is on traps, torso is maintained upright throughout the movement. Low Bar Backsquat: Bar is placed lower on the shoulders towards the bottom of your shoulder blades. This is a powerlifting style squat. With low bar squatting your torso is shifted forward more instead of maintaining an upright torso like the high bar back squat. Typically people can do more weight with low bar squats because you utilize more posterior chain due to the forward lean. If you have ever watched Layne Norton lift he has a classic low bar squat that properly demonstrates the forward lean of the torso. It is all dependent upon your goals. If you do crossfit then high bar backsquats(and more so front squats) will translate better to the movements that are prescribed in workouts. Low bar is great for lifting as heavy as possible. Really though everyone should try both squatting types, just understand the differences between them Last edited by The Chaddening; 03-11-2016 at 11:31 AM.. |

Other big things to improve squatting:
1. Before even touching the bar, inhale and maintain a rigid torso by tensing abdominals. 2. Keep your head up, dont look at the ground. Your spine should stay neutral throughout the movement(and your spine includes your neck). It can help to find something on the wall to focus on throughout the movement. 3. Drive feet slightly out(not duck feet though) about 15-20 degrees. Drive your knees toward your toes. If you come out of the squat and your knees are pushed together(look up genu valgus) you are asking for injury. 4. Squeeze your butt. 5. Complete the movement with speed. The longer you are under tension the more difficult it will be. 6. Once you reach the bottom of your squat, shoot out of the bottom. |

Very good numbers. Yeah I feel like if you use straps for a deadlift on anything less than 600-700lb you are kind of a pussbag. 220 press! My max strict press is around 175. Had shoulder surgery a few years back and my pressing isnt great.

I completely agree on straps, I feel the same way about wrist wraps/belts/knee wraps. I much prefer to have proper form and good grip strength than just pushing huge numbers. I know my squat should easily be 455 and deads should be at 545 but had a similar back injury last year and haven't been the same since then. 220 ohp took so much fucking work, the last 5 pounds to 2 plates are killing me, I also believe it's more mental than physical tho. Been on vacation for the past three weeks with zero gym, gonna come back hard next week. Need to break some PR's.

I switched to sumo about a year ago and haven't looked back since. I have a weird body frame and conventional never felt natural, I've lifted some pretty heavy weight with the conventional lift but never felt as natural as sumo. What about you?

I haven't done a lot of Sumo work. I do crossfit/olympic weightlifting now so sumo doesn't translate as well to the other lifts that we do. It seems you can for sure pull more weight with sumo since the pull is shorter. Seems like pretty much all the well known powerlifters out there pull Sumo so there is something to be said about it.

I competed in strongman for 6 years which of course we would train a lot of powerlifting, but also a lot of functional strength stuff similar to crossfit (albeit our weight were heavier and time limit shorter). I retired 2 years ago, but here are some of my best lifts back then:
Deadlift: 700lbs (grip and rip, belt & chalk only) Deadlift (18"): 750lbs Bench Press: 440lbs OH log press: 330lbs Atlas stone to 52": 410lbs Yoke Walk: 800lbs for 80' Farmers Walk: 335lb per hand for 80' in 17secs My favorite events were carry medleys with tire flips, sandbags etc. I would compete at a bodyweight between 315-335lbs depending on the events scheduled. I still train some of lifts, but can't put the time into training and eating that I used to. One of the guys I used to compete and train with got his pro card a few years back and just did a 1000lb deadlift at the Arnold recently! Medley 410 stone load Deadlift training, my partner Jay was a riot

Thanks man, I do miss it, but nowadays my training is very light. Lucky to get to the gym twice a week. Injuries TNTC (probably more damage from football), but no one thing that is too problematic. Just want to stay in good enough shape to be able to club race / HPDE with my BMWs. I walk around at 290lbs now.
Jerry Pritchett is from here in Phoenix area. I was somewhat competitive with him in 2009-2010, but he took it to a whole new level.

just went through and went for new maxes last week. Been a little over 1.5yrs since shoulder surgery (labrum repair) and I still dont feel comfortable with a lot of the clean/snatch movements to put any kind of real weight on them. Im almost back to my before surgery Bench and Squats, but Deadlifts still lacking about 50-60lbs.
Deadlift: 465 lb Back Squat: 405 lb (with knee supports, about 285 without them and a lot of crying) Front Squat: 295 lb Bench: 315 lb Squat Clean: - Power Clean: 225 lb Clean and Jerk: - Power Snatch: - Snatch: - Body Weight ~190s depending on how much i drink the night before. |

The reason for the low number is a) mental and b) physical. I tore my knee up about 7 years ago snowboarding and never got it properly fixed. I have done more without any kind of knee support in the past, but it rarely ends well so i dont push it |

Bench - 260lbs tap-n-go
Squat - 375lbs high bar below parallel Deadlift - 465lbs conventional 5'11", 27 years old, 180lbs I believe my true max on squat is somewhere around 385 and 495 on deadlift since I hit 455x3 3 weeks ago. Will need to retest again soon. Down to try new things in lifting, oly lifting is top of my list, strongman and crossfit next. Need to work on my front squats, those choke me the fuck out. |
