(SQUATS) Whats a good amount of weight?

[hydrajack2]

ok...so it's 4 plates a side and then a fiver on each side. still would look funny to me doing it for reps.

Never seen a 50 lb bar...who makes them? Olympic has the 5' and 7' model. the 7' holds up to 1500 lbs and weight 20 kilos (44lbs) they don't advertise a 50 lb bar. any gym I have been in only carry the Olympic style...can u tell me who makes the 50 lb ones? Just curious

I hate those bars. Most of them are too thick to get a good grip on them. Feels like i'm trying it grip a coke can.

Thanks for nothing presser!!! now what do I do when I reach the 1500 lb mark on my squat and can't find one of these bars to hold it????
lol j/k

hey, there isn't anything wrong with being a girly man......

my gym as 2 bars like that, as well as a whole set of free weights that have a lot larger handles. It just feels akward when trying to grip them, because it feels like it's putting more strain on my forearms to hold onto the bar.

Bros i have a powertech work bench, so there is no need for a spotter. the weights i used were 4-45' 4-35 4-25 =420 im not even counting the bar set up. some of you thought i was free squating. i dont think my girlfriend could help me out if i got stuck. remember safety first. just kidding (no im not). got to go soak my tired ass in a tub of flexall 454.

Wondering if im doing ok. squated 420 tonight for a easy 10 reps . im weighing in around 192lbs now,

BULLSHIT! I weigh the same as you and I have trouble squating 315 for 10 reps.

whatever bro , i work out for myself no one else. why would i lie i have nothing to gain by doing so. You say bullshit, thats funny. If i was going to lie which i dont i would have said i just squated 600lbs or something like that.

 

[midwtchamp]

the way I look at it is...if you can squat double your body weight and then some you are doing good...I am 170 or so and I can run sets at 350.....so I impress my own self and pat myself on the back!
