Cleverer than YOU Member 1228, 1046 posts | SuperSteel101 said:More Sqauts today .... Week 1 Day 2 Crazy Squat Routine 3 x 10 20kgs 1 x 5 60 kgs 1 x 3 80 kgs 1 x 2 100 kgs 1 x 1 120 kgs 5 x 7 135 kgs Day 2 of this routine in the bag. I must admit my legs were stiff and sore as hell today, I actually wasn't even able to hit depth on my first warm up set using only the bar! Ended up doing an extra long warm up and tons of stretching and to my surprise the top sets felt really easy, it was simply a case of mind over matter and ignoring the pain in my legs. Pleased with this, more squatting on Fri and I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm determined to get good at squatting! That's horrible volume, worked out I would have to be doing 165kg for my 5x7 to be equivalent to you, think I'd be too lazy lol! good luck withit should be interesting to see what you get at the end, plus with all those reps I'd defo expect larger pins too! | ||

Thanks mate. Yeah without a doubt the soreness is due to a lack of recovery, the higher reps on Mondays session really took a toll as I'm not conditioned to doing them on squats again as yet. Thing about this routine is you squat 4 days a week, so I've just got to suck it up and get on with it even if I'm feeling sore lol. | ||

Lol yeah it is horrible volume, but I figured I need to really push myself and do a heck of alot of squatting if I am to get good at it, hope it works lol. Also yeah it'd be good to have bigger stronger legs to go with the guns haha  | ||

I'm not doubting that you will feel sore,4 times a week is hard core,just doing them every 4 days for me is enough but always worth trying. | ||

Yeah mate, I must admit I do like the sounds of your approach to squatting, definately something for me to look at in 4 weeks time. Funnily enough my legs feel remarkably less sore now than they did before todays squats, hopefully they won't be agony again tomorrow lol! | ||

I normally train in the morning and then feel some uncomfort in the legs at the night time and the day after too. | ||

(By this I mean doing floor press, 2 board bench press, close grip, incline bench press etc). Upon returning from injury all I could bench was 140 and within a pretty short period of time I was back up to 155 and feeling stronger than pre injury. So I'm gonna stick with this approach a while longer and see how I get on. At some point I'll no doubt return to a regular bench intensive approach, but not just yet lol. | ||

Week 1 Day 3 Crazy Squat Routine 3 x 10 20 kgs 1 x 5 60 kgs 1 x 3 80 kgs 1 x 2 100 kgs 1 x 1 125 kgs 7 x 5 145 kgs Speed Bench Press 1 x 10 20 kgs 1 x 5 15 kgs 1 x 5 60 kgs 8 x 3 80 kgs This was tough today, my legs were very very sore! It was just a case of ignoring it and grinding things out, I got all the prescribed reps and sets so pleased with how I battled through. Zero days rest and more squatting tomorrow, it's gonna hurt but I'm looking forward to it! | ||

Sounds like it will just over train you. Yeah you do go into a state of overtraining, but it is intended. It works on the principal of super compensation (or something along those lines lol) whereby your body is forced to adapt rapidly. It's a well known routine and lots of people seemed to have used it and got great results, I'm gonna stick with it and see how it goes, I like a challenge and a bit of pain haha! | ||
