my turn, criticisms are most welcome! its far from perfect, long way to go. on another note, the 5 reps seemed easier than last time, probably from the GVT squats or form change, i dont know. either way im happy my strength level hasnt gone down ever since i started gvt.

100kg x 5 squat. did 105kg x 2, and 105kg x 3 after this set. lost balance on the third rep, weight got too in front on the way up.


60kg x 8 squat, last 2 reps stayed in the hole for a bit. this was the burnout set after the 105kg x 3


previous video of 80kg x 8 for comparison, i think the angle here quite similar so easier to compare

good strength mike

you form for 100kg is good
mine was stuck at 100 kg poundage for 5-6 reps but doesnt looks steady form like you in the vid though

very nice hip drive. However, when you do lock out at the top, try control your body movement a bit mate, you're almost bouncing with the bar on your back.

Nice form mike. Even at the 100kg squat.

mike you ever try front squat?i am doing it for half year
hits the quads pretty well
me gusta

Nice squats! Very strong too ! And also great technique !! 

Coming from the squats king himself. I'm pretty friggin honored haha. Thanks man!

Here goes nothing, BTW, TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME, i tend to be a little loud psyching myself for the lift. Empty gym FTW.

And no it's not a full deadlift, it's a partial deadlift, I mentioned why I do this instead of a full dead in my workout journal, it's just a personal preference of wanting to concentrate on my back rather than go full ROM and involve my legs.

brah, strong lift there, but as all the brahs just mentioned, the "walking back" move is kinda dangerous... 1 wrong footing and you might lose a leg or something... for me, if im doing partial DL, i would do it in a safety rack... no point doing it outside and u have to go all the way down to pick up and all the way down to release it...
btw, first time saw ur face 

The rack is basically an extension of the smith machine. If I put the safety pins , it won't even be lower than my knees. That's why I need to reverse walk a bit

you are 1 strong mofo (moon walking with 400 pounds barbell... MJ, beat that!!! oh wai.....)

Compared to you guys, especially dark, i'm nothing. I gotta catch up a lot of my physique and my poundages

brah, you wouldnt believe how light i train... my body just responed well to training... tats it...

i just dont get the hip drive. is it you move you hip up first? if like that, you will use alot of your back muscle when lifting the weigh up into straight position. Why do you need to do hip drive?

I notice there is some difference to mikehuan squat between 80 and 100kg. the 100kg position, i can see that at 100kg squat, his lower leg is straighter or nearer to pependicular compare to floor. which is better

I train light too man. It's just some of my lifts are strong( relative). I'm thinking of just cutting down and not bulking back up. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to fit my legs into pants. I'm naturally big sized. Believe it or not. Big boned. As mythical as that sounds.

your the meso+endo guy... a very good platform to start with...

im the ecto+ecto guy .... i have to do twice the work u did....
