Recap of my 8 week periodized raw squat routine w/ 500x2.

[xXNBSxKuRaMaXx]

third set ur stance wasnt as wide??why did u do that?

[hotprofdude]

I am inspired...I've really never seen better form...I've read everyone's comments, so I'm not gonna go on; but I want to ask you: what's the best advice for someone like me who's trying to hit 315 x20? How many sets per week? I'm only doing 285 X 6 now...I'm 6'2, 230.

[klassakt311]

why the hell do u wanna do 20 reps, thats muscle endurance not strength/power..

[hotprofdude]

OK...gotcha...I'm doing sets where I end up at 315 X 5 right now...knees bent parallel to the ground...how can I get beyond5 reps? I work hard in the gym...can u just recommend a regimen for me? just curious what you'd recommend...

[kindred21101982]

why the wide stance? Should i do that? I dont know much about squats im new to them.

[URmomsAcumDUMPSTER]

Y such a wide base?

[chrisclark88]

Seriously man, your squat technique is perfect...I am training myself to squat just like that haha, good job man, keep up the good work

[lewisflight]

you've got better form than 90% of the people ive seen do workout videos. Your a machine with those reps.

Thanks a lot.

Nice, I see you posted this about 7 months ago, so what are you at now?

[ottorotciv]

Nothing drastic, but I've made steady progress. I hit 525 raw, paused, off a parallel box recently, and tripled 480 easily (much much easier than the triple at 475 you see in this video) about 2 weeks ago. In the coming weeks I'll be going for a triple at 490.

great sets. no playing around. you hit it deep and hard.

I'm not clear on what you did. you did all those sets in a single workout?

[ottorotciv]

Thanks a lot for the kind words. No, those weren't done in a single session. They were done over the course of eight weeks. Most weeks, with the exception of the last two, were done with two top sets of whatever weight you see me using.

[pairunoyd]

ah - Highlight Reels!

Awesome idea.

[Swolegantor]

What exactly was your routine, Im assuming it wasent just one set per squat session (not including warm-ups). what your bw?

[ottorotciv]

It was two work sets for the first 6 weeks. The 475x3 and 500x2 from weeks 7 and 8 were only one set.

[ottorotciv]

Oh, and my by through this was about 235. I've dieted down to 220 since.

[Swolegantor]

nice man. I just started squatting again after hurting my ankle on new years. Double bodyweight is awesome man. Good luck in the future 600 is on its way!

[ottorotciv]

Thanks a lot, man.

[supermochi]
