EasyFit Ville-la-Grand: Squat up to 3@240kg X3 sets in waves

[Down2Skip]

What kind of program/methods do you follow , and s/b/d max?

Strong!

You need better shoes! And look at your heels, they come up a little bit. This is not a hate comment, I can barely lift 130 kilos so I am not trying to be a smarty pants.

@tutunaru True true, that was pointed out. These shoes are far from optimal but no excuse. If form is perfect, it shouldn't happen anyways. Got to work on it!

[FrankyTheWop]

do you get a lot of people staring at you when you workout at a regular gym? Every regular gym has one guy thats freakishly strong that everyone is scared of.

[chezkenny]

@FrankyTheWop Honestly here most people just use one plate at most (unless they are 25lbs' or less...) so they stare at me no more when I do 250kg than someone who lift 120kg... They just don't see or understand the difference.. haha.

[dt76028]

you'd probably benefit from a heeled squat shoe since your heels are coming off the ground.

[chezkenny]

@dt76028 very good observation. Well I think it's more a technical mistake than anything. Because I have shoes with heels but I'm very uncomfortable in them. But you're right those shoes are not the one I wear usually. But anyways I need to concentrate on this next time. Thanks for pointing that out.

[LEGGENDARYO]

You definitely squat better than Bolé, good job man !

[chezkenny]

@LEGGENDARYO Nan déconne pas! J'ai même pas réussi à faire une seule série à 220... J'ai fait de 210 direct à 240 sans passé par la case tribunal/prison... Imagine la précision, 220kg pile!!!!! C'est malade ça! Moi je sais pas faire.

[freaknick250]

Watching your vids for a long time.Great technique,great physique and workout load capacity.You seem to have lift almost everywhere man.You change the places/gyms where you lift very often but you don't seem to ''lose your groove/rythm.'' Awesome level of strength and i like the fact that you're a ''quiet'' lifter..you know..no drama or psyching, haha.Keep it up, you should compete more often.Stay injury free and keep it strong!

[chezkenny]

@freaknick250 thanks bro! I really appreciate a lot what you said. Although I do make progress, I stay "quiet" and cool mostly cause I know that a lot of people are still much much stronger than I am. No excuse. So if one day I deadlift 850, or Squat 770... I might get crazier but until then... I prefer a more down to earth approach! haha

[freaknick250]

@chezkenny haha i see man! The small dog is the one that barks most... Being humble and patient is the way to do it. Keep it strong man :)) Btw where are you from?..I have seen you speak francais/french, somewhere else i have seen you in Italy if i am not wrong..You are actually a resident of the world,haha :) Personally i hate travelling around or doing big changes in my life lol

[chezkenny]

@freaknick250 Haha. Yeah I'm Greek, but I live in Switzerland/France and my girlfriend is from Italy so we were there for vacations. Where are from?

[freaknick250]

@chezkenny Are you kidding me bro!!!?? I am also Greek!! I live in Athens hahaha :)) That's why i have seen you wear Papaloukas basketball jersey or sth like that!! Damn man! I got a big smile on my face. Do you speak also Greek?? Take care bro!

[chezkenny]

@freaknick250 Orea!! Y mitera mou ine elinida, para zen milo poli cala... Actually I hade the jersey custom made, it's number 4 but with name "GALIS" behind!! Nick the Greek is my all-time favorite player you know!!! Peace

[freaknick250]

@chezkenny Haha, i thought it was a recent jersey and as i remember Papaloukas wear #4 when he was playing in the national team lol Galis is the best man. I think Galis and Pyrros Dimas are the two all time greatest athletes in Greece. Your..greeklish (greek in english letters) are great.We used to use this type of writing through internet/online. hehe Btw powerlifting in Greece is in an ancient level right now (as everything lol) but we do our first baby steps..Keep it strong bro!!!!

[chezkenny]

@freaknick250 Thanks bro! You too! Yeah those 2 athletes are my favorites (and not only because they are Greek!!) I didn't know about powerlifting level in Greece. I guess I assumed it was good, since Olympic lifting has always been top level. Good to know. But you're right about the jersey! It's a recent one, from last year. I was in Heraklion and I had it custom made there.

[freaknick250]

@chezkenny Very few people know about powerlifting here.People who are interested in strength tend to weightlifting otherwise they become bodybuilders.We have 2 raw annual events taking place in Thessaloniki and we had our first participation in the recent world championship in Czech Republic (IPF) with 3athletes but mostly for fun not for a good ranking, :-P Also, national competitions are not in a high level.It's mostly for fun, no real prizes etc. Keep it strong,i'm proud of you!

[iSK8FrEaK7777]

Very strong! Keep at it man

[chezkenny]

@iSK8FrEaK7777 Thanks man! Yeah it's the first time I do more than one set at 240kg. And it felt pretty easy. Can't wait to max out, probably in 2 weeks in the Squat cause I have to max the Deadlift first.

[iSK8FrEaK7777]

@chezkenny Going for the 700lbs deadlift?

[chezkenny]

@iSK8FrEaK7777 yeah, it's minimum. I'm not going home until I get at least 705lbs!!
