 Member 5727, 17 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 180470.0 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq | Back in June 2013 I learnt about daily squatting and the strength gains associated with it. I read much about it and decided to have a crack at it. I'd just finished year 13 college and had the summer free, so why not commit everyday to the bar? I'd pick a set/rep range, something like 5x5, 3x5, 10x2, 6x3 (6x3 was my favourite) and simply squat 6 days a week. After 1 month I shot up from 110kg to 130kg. Not to shabby for 1 month? For reasons I can't really remember, I got side-tracked, lost focus of my goals and gave up... So now 2 years later I've made pretty much f**k all progress on my squat...And that brings me to this. Having reminisced the gains I made, I feel more motivated than ever to get back into the swing of daily max squatting. Being more knowledgeable on the subject, and having put together what will hopefully be a better game plan, lets see if I can push the kilos up a bit more! Things to note: I am a high-bar, atg, olympic style squatter. Adidas Power Perfect II shoes. Predominantly beltless. Best backsquat 170kg @88kg with belt and SBD knee sleeves. Current stats: 92kgBW, 5'11", 20 years old. | ||

Member 5554, 190 posts SQ 212.5, BP 150, DL 245607.5 kgs @ 97kgs UnEq | Interesting log. Are you not a bit screwed if you fail a lift while doing very high frequency training? Also your squatting in the future | ||

Member 5727, 17 posts SQ 170, BP 120, DL 180470.0 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 03.06.2015 @ 20:41 PM by Josh0 Went to see the GP about chronic compartment syndrome and when I said it developed from squatting she asked "what's a squat?"lol...okay. Anyway I've been referred to a physio but it will take time as I'll be on a waiting list. In other news, it's been 7 days since I last squatted and the pain as calmed considerably so I did some front squats (for the purpose of using as little weight as possible while still being challenging) 100kg 5x5 - fairly easy. clean grip. leg press 2x20, I don't get pain from this so I thought I might as well use it for now. | ||
