Last night squats
365x2
315 4x3
Trying to hit 4 plates for a single by the end of October. I’m dropping weight without trying but My lifts are going up. I’m down like 10 pounds now at 174. I’ve just been working on technique a ton and it’s paying off.

I litteraly have no motivation to go squat.
My max was 365 @163lbs and that was Dec 2016.
Now I can only put up 325.
Been slacking and can’t get motivated to get back into it.
What are y’all sets looking like?
Oh and I use to do high bar.
Working on low bar squats now. Feels like it’s gonna roll down my back lol.

Bruh, you can’t just jump back into heavy and hit close to your old max. You might be just as strong but your cns is gonna freak the hell out.
Hit a 5x5 at the heaviest weight you think you can do the whole way through without changing it.
Next week do 6x3 heavier but same concept
Next week 6x2 heavier
Then the next week see how you do at a max attempt or maybe the heaviest double you can do.
I hit legs every time I lift but squat only once or twice a week.
I only squat high bar. Low bar feels terrible to me. Maybe one day I’ll learn it but high bar suits my body type better.

First time doing squats in about two years felt pretty good now I’m just focusing on trying to get perfect form any suggestions?
Question do anyone get marks on the top of there shoulder/trap I noticed it today and when I do shoulders it looks like female scratch marks but I kno they aren’t and kinda have me puzzled.

.Ironically, if
mplsdunk
could squat low bar comfortably he would already be putting up 405.
I squatted high bar exclusively for my first 8-ish months of lifting until I rolled the bar forward over my neck when trying to max out on two separate occasions.
After that I said 'eff this' and been squatting low bar ever since. 1RM went up like 60 pounds just from that.

Man idk. It just feels so off to me. I’m more quad dominant so if I got my hips as strong as my quads it might feel less like a heavy *** good morning.
I should learn it. My buddy is the same way. He’s way bigger than me but has the same frame and proportions. He can hit 585 on high bar but can’t squat low bar very well.
High bar squat and deadlift is my lift. Bench is my enemy.

I was pissed yesterday. I tried for new PR on DL. 515. Got close to 3/4 of the way up and felt a pop. Thought it was something in my core but ended up being this pin in my belt lever. Popped it back in and tried to press the ends back together for a 2nd attempt but barely broke the floor. Oh well

Speaking of belts, found this website that lets you customize colors and embroidered messages on your belt. Definitely copping from here sometime soon.

I've had one of their 13 mm lever belts for almost a year and I love it. They're incredible, US-made belts at a (relatively) low price. Plus, their customer service is second to none.
Also, be sure to check out their backup IG @pioneerglm if you're interested in the factory seconds/returns for even lower prices (but all still have lifetime warranties/great craftsmanship).

What exactly are the belts for? Yes, I have no idea what I’m doing at the gym yet.

To stabilize the spine and reduce the stress on your back when lifting heavy weights

IF you're bracing properly. Had to add that in there.
The belt is more of an enhancement to what your core already does when you use it properly.

I’ll add to the belt topic.
I also have a pioneer belt. It’s a great belt. I got the single prong 10mm.
I’ve had it about 3 years. Still in great shape, will last a lifetime.
I just got a plain black belt and it came in a week I think.

Can't decide between an actual motivational quote or something funny to put on it.
