The Squat Thread - Push to 1,000,000 pounds

[Eric62]

^^^ Thank you rasczak. I hope you start posting on this Squat and the Deadlift threads. We need some girl power

Wow, Eric! Those are some great lifts. I saw your 700lb deadlift in the other thread. Raw strength right there. Keep it up!

LOL - Technically "single ply polly"; But I do appreciate the kind words, and encouragement.

135x5, 205x5, 255x5, 255x20 = 8075. 20 rep squats are brutal.

Heh, dude, I couldn't squat 545lbs or deadlift 700lbs with a rocket strapped to my ass, so congrats on two awesome lifts.

I want to thank the OP for this thread, as I need every motivational kick in the ass possible to reach my goal of Squatting 600 at the USPF Powerlifting National Championships (Master 45-49 Division) July 4th.
From May 16th:
135x5
225x2
315x2
405x1
495x1
545x1 - http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=dqt9jp&s=5

3200 + 119980 = 123,180

Nice bar speed, Eric. You've got more in you in competition for sure. Best of luck on 600.

Thank you - ALL

My Orthopedic surgeon says that as long as I don't twist my knee (I have to keep it tracked straight over my foot) my micro torn right ACL won't get worse - as both ends are anchored firmly. The pain is caused by arthritic swelling against the inside of my knee cap (happens in both knees, the right one is just way worse) - which the cortisone is supposed to minimize.

I'm 99% sure after the WPF World Powerlifting Championships November 11-15th, I'll never Squat again. So between now and then I need to accomplish what ever I can in 3 lift Powerlifting meets. After that I'll concentrate on single lift competition - Deadlift only and/or Bench Press only meets. I'll limit my leg training to 10 to 20 rep leg presses with feet high on the platform, minimizing knee stress.

Thanks for your concern, and well wishes
