Jordan Houghton Squat 370 for 14 reps

Final week of my first run of 5/3/1, 370 for 14. Little high, but I'm completely ok with that.

nice work man, I happen to be using the 5/3/1 myself. 14 reps is a great number to hit when using the 5/3/1 especially on squats! What week workout was this for you?

As for depth its constantly a guessing game sometimes, you only looked a tad higher at most but looked deep enough to me, depth truly matters most in competition, but in training its ok not to always be picture perfect.

This was my 3rd week, i set my maxes pretty conservatively so i could keep progressing, and for some reason i actually got more reps the 2nd and 3rd weeks than 1st on squats and deadlifts. how long have you been doing 5/3/1?

oh wow 14 reps on week 3, now thats crazy! I barely break 10 reps on week with 95%. i have been using the 5/3/1 for about 5 cycles now about 20 weeks total, it has really helped me on my deads and squats.

Nice, yea idk ive been putting on a lot of weight the last 3 weeks so i guess i just keep getting stronger, i really think 5/3/1 is gonna work well for me. what kind of improvements are you seeing?

[muzimuzi]

wow, I was about to consider dropping my working weight on squats cause I had a pussy fit, but after seeing this video, I will stick with it and man up!

Good video man!

Box squat went from 365 to 465, and deadlift was down to 430 but went up to 500. Squat was 425 and now I hit 470.
