Squats The Challenge

[TTT]

2 challenges in one month.

Challenge the first..

Body weight on the bar, squat till you can squat no more.

high bar, low bar, whatever..

each squat must break parallel (which means your hip crease when you bend, must be below the top of your knee at the bottom of each rep)

if you want to go Ass to Grass then go for it.

Challenge the next

Body weight x 1.5 on the bar, everything else the same.

Video from side so people can see depth.

Don't hurt yourself

Don't dodge this challenge.. at least do one of them.

If you can't squat your own bodyweight on your shoulders... STOP EVERYTHING!!!!

Put down your iPhone

Put down your designer microfibre towel

Walk over to the squat racks and squat the bar many time.

Add 5kg each side. place bar on upper back and squat many times

Continue doing this until you need to lie down for a while.

then lie down

then get up

then do 4 more sets.

Pick up your iPhone, micro fibre towel, your bottles of pre and intra workout drinks, full up your post work out drink bottle and drink it.

get home and eat many many animals and stuff animals eat.

go back in 2 days time and do it again.

repeat for 3 months.

challenge for the ladies? I don't know many girls who can squat their own body weight for reps

[TTT]

Yep sorry...

Forgot to include our fairer members like Action Dan, Leesh, Jeppe and Manuel Kasko.

for the ladies, bodyweight x 0.75 for reps as the light option or bodyweight for heavier option.

I wouldn't even attempt that at the moment anyway given know where my back/ankle is at, also EADC

Thank you and carry on.

Raw squats? Belts?

[TTT]

only joking Dan.

Since most people won't have access to wraps or a squat suit, lets say raw.

But if you have and want to use a belt and have one, then go for it.

I'll give this a go in a fortnight after states is done.

Trust me I'd like to squat more, just don't wanna fuxor something. Still hunting for a rack.

I'll watch this thread for info though, should be some good tips on form going around etc.

Really? I thought you trained at Elite Physique in Canberra. I saw 15 do it there at the last comp, only a handful were PL'ers, most were Crossfitters or physique competitors, a few went 2 x bw

Canberra has some very strong girls

In for this, even though my squats suck! Videos coming soon.

Any rules on time between reps Tolga - e.g. can't stand there for more than 5 seconds without a rep?

[-FIGJAM-]

might give this ago.

dont expect i'll get many reps out compared to others here but hey we will see. Weighed in at 67kg so I'll attempt at 70kg cause i'm a big kent like that.

not sure how to upload the video either

[TTT]

Birds - stay up top to breath out and in, then down.... towards the end you might need to stay up top a little longer to take 3 or 4 breaths so do it if you want.

Do what you think is right instead of looking for ways to cheat.. lol

I'd say your hands/shoulders and lower back will be fried before your legs give up anyway so resting in standing position to wards the end will be hard anyway.

FIGJAM - upload vid to youtube

link it here.
