365 Full Squat

25 sets of singles??? Hahahaha good luck buliding any strength OR muscle tissue with that rep scheme.

[dragns]

@jbandkg100 Thanks for your insights dumbass. You obviously know fuck-all about building strength OR muscle tissue. Fucktard.

[jbandkg100]

@dragns and you obviously don't?

[dragns]

@jbandkg100 We can always compare education and training background and go from there. Or would you just like to go ahead and admit that everything you know came from Muscle & Fiction, and save some time.

[jbandkg100]

@dragns I just want to know what the purpose of doing 25 sets of singles is. Your not stimulating the muscle at all. And your first reply pretty much sums up you have an attitude problem and most likely an ego one too.

[dragns]

@jbandkg100 I was somewhere in the range of 80% of one rep max. I took 30 second rest periods. Each set would be done, then racked, then picked right back up and done again. In a 5x5 protocol (25 total reps), you're usually in that % range. 5 reps then rest for 2-3 minutes. So... 80% of max. An accumulation of fatigue from insufficient rest periods. How do you figure that you DON'T stimulate the muscle? This was simply an experiment, but I can tell you that I was sore as hell two days later.

@jbandkg100

Good luck not being a pussy training like one.

And explain how singles and working in >80% will do anything BUT build strength.

i thought his form was great!

goodjob

i believe there is no perfect forms.....you just find what fits the best for you

but there is always basics....

what do u think dragns?

[hanbacca]

why are you squatting in the curl rack?

[145bobby]

great form except you should work on the hip drive

remember the old pretend to sit down in a chair then do the exact same thing except upward with a crap load of weight on your back

[dragns]

That's great advice. It's like you read a book or something.

Hint: Just because Rippetoe talks about hip drive, doesn't mean that your hips need to come up first. You can certainly be driving your hips and ascend in one motion.

[145bobby]

Rippetoe is crazy, he's just trying to get people to lift more weight with that stupid form. it's like a goodmorning, that'll end up hurting someones back.

[145bobby]

and i must have been high when i wrote that comment because your form looks great...

[hanbacca]

@145bobby it can and it did hurt my back. fuck that shit. he does not talk about flexibility at all in his book.

[145bobby]

@dragns rippetoe squats wrong..his way will add weight at the sacrifice of your strength and back...

[martin1106]

Thats a lot of reps! Does this work for you?

[basketballvertical]

Can you explain the reasoning for doing a rep scheme like this? just curious as i am kinda new to squats.

[m1kasd]

hits the nervous system more and you get less hypertrophy

[basketballvertical]

So you rest like 50-70 seconds between sets?

Or what?

[YojimboBJJ]

Nice job, good form.
