Big day for me - squat video
|
225 for 5x5. I know a lot of you guys squat way heavier, but a year ago at this time I couldn't have done 225 for 3 one time. Something satisfying about putting 2 plates on the bar.
Check it out,

This is just one of the sets of 5. I wanted to check my form and have a little proof.

yes. not counting warm up. In this case it was bar x 5/ 135 x 5/ 185 x 5 then work load.

loosely following starting strength. I think 5x5 is pretty standard and it has gotten me this far. I know it is common to switch to a a 3x5 if you are starting to stall out, but I am not there yet. I want to do a 1 rep max soon. Last time I did it it was 235... lol. I think I can beat that.

I do
edit: as the weight gets heavier I will start to taper my warmups. something like
bar x 5
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 1
workload 5x5
more edit: My rest in the warmup is minimal, just enough time to add the load to the bar. in between the 5x5 load I rest 2-3:00. I set a timer (that is the beeping you hear at the beginning of the video).

Dude, you banged through those 5 reps no problem. Nice job I think you got a lot more in you in the coming months.

looked pretty solid bro...
better form than me, but at this point i'm like fuck form, and just lifting some heavy ass weight...
you should easily be able to put up 300+ for 1... those 5 went up like butter...

And in ten years, your body is going to be like "Fuck you, too."

I wouldn't rush towards that, you banged the 5 out pretty solid but 3 out of 5 were quality. you did manage to stay on your heels through the set so that's a start. Just need to work on your torso strength so you're not so far forward. I had to do 231x5 today with 200m row sprints right after each set. I wish I got a video of me trying to do that first set without warming up. It was pretty godamned hilarious.

Nice job OP. I was so stoked when I hit that mark too. Unfortunately I tweaked my back at 235 and never got back to it.
5x5 is a lot too. Even SS only says 3x5 IIRC.
