I duno if u guys'll laugh or something, but at 5, I remember "overhead pressing" my bolster which was about 1KG.

Then at 7, I was busy playing "Police and thieves", and when we caught one "thief" we'd beat them up (like pretend la)

At 9, I was climbing coconut and mango trees in my grandma's old house, and falling down deliberately on the doggie kennel just to frighten him (Dog's name was Maximillian, so we call him Maxi).

At 12, I think my brother and I were fighting daily over everything and we'd have our mom chase us with a rotan. (Yes we attempted to hide that rotan, every single time)

At 13, I joined taekwondo and progressed pretty fast. 1 year, 2 double promotions.

At 14, I joined a gang and did nothing but talk trash and arm wrestle and fight. Oh shit, those were the days being chased by a gang yielding parangs and finding sticks to whack ppl back. Damn lotsa blood those days.

At 16 I quit and joined and finished off my taekwondo training, together with a lot of push-ups and multiple training methods.

At 17 I joined a gym, and never went again. I did breakdancing instead. I decided it was fun to do knee drops and spins, and ended up fracturing my right knee cap. Smart!

At 18, I did free running, le parkour and injured my shoulder when I did a backflip (Never recovered)

And 19 and 20, weightlifting.

Man.........what is wrong with me??

Oh squatting issit?
say lar....

190lbs? Good good, take your time, don't push it too fast. How was it? Easy?

Yeah! I know!! They're so difficult! Wanna know something?

I found that squatting the bodybuilder's stance, was awful for me. I could go extremely deep, yes......but I didn't enjoy lifting it.It hurt my knee, feeling like it was going to pop outwards and snap.

Then I learned that you can just point your toes outwards, and the pain goes away! I can still go deep, but with even MORE weights, cuz the pain wasn't there anymore. Maybe you can try the same? The other time I did 21 reps of squats this way. It was AWFUL! Lactic acid burning everything, I had to have my friend slap my back a few times to go on, else I'd stopped at 16 reps. 100KG's and above, the game turns a little harder.

Stretch boy....

ATG is good! I like ATG. Makes the guys in the gym, keep tellin me it's gonna screw my knees. But they don't even squat, they leg press.

But too heavy also I scared to ATG la...takut sikit

u can always still do free running.
no big deal.....unless u hurt some bodypart real bad.

Ya know, sometimes, it isn't about how much you squat. It's how much you know. The body/mind works together. It must.

A guy can be born strong, squats mad amounts, but with improper form, bust something important, and become weak. And we all know, you're only as strong as your weakest point. IF that weakest point, is irreparable, you're fcuked.

A weak guy, with ample knowledge, can work to his/her maximum potential, use his knowledge to offset the weaknesses and turn him/herself strong as well.

IF those guys at GOLD's can squat heavy, with that form, great. I ain't stopping you. However, I'd rather point my toes outwards, it tremendously helps the comfort and solves just about every knee, ankle flexibility problems.

Remember,I'm not a bodybuilder. Principals differ.

I'm more to strength maximization and martial arts. What use is 215LBS of muscle but having a 165LBS down you to your knees in a fight?
Yes, I've done this. I wasn't even 165LBS that time. I was only 140LBS. Mass x force=power.
Too much mass x too little force= Badawi playing golf.

That's the 165LBSx5

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7193114106414560272

That's 225LBSx3

King, this is 4 u.

i think we should just see what it looks like first...

don't generalise everything king says to be stupid, or whatever he does to be wrong.

it' kinda hard to believe someone can actually pop a vein squatting. might be something else that caused it.

yes yes yes!!!!
I was at the gym in my campus yesterday (got chased out after a while, cuz I wasn't a member and it was member hours, stupid eh?)

Did benches for fun with;

185LBS x 5
205LBS x 3
225LBS x 1
245LBS x 1 1/2 (Biatch yeah!! PR'ed without even noticing it!)

It was actually a miscalculation! At 225LBSx1 I told the guys to remove the extra 10lbs plates....but I pointed at the weight rack. So they assumed that I wanted an extra 2 plates, and racked it in.

I went to talk to a friend, and paid no attention to the extra weights and just benched!
So I did 245LBS and went past the lowest point, but got stuck about 5 inches away from my chest. So I lowered it again, pushed even faster and got past the sticking point! I are happy!!!

This was after a math test and no food too. Hehe!!!!

i iz happy

It's no big deal, until you bench at least twice your bodyweight. Yet it was a nice feeling....still too weak, too weak.

that's cool. 400LBS is squat in malaysia's a pretty good standard wei.

nope
I'm still sitting at a 265LBS front squat and workin to get it up every week. Now still have that "newbie gain" on front squats actually. It's goin up like lightning man. 155LBS to 265LBS in 3 weeks! (Okay, that's thanks to my back squat, but still!) Gonna squeeze sumore.

Back squat was at 315 for a rep the last time I did it, which was a month and a half ago before my knees gave me shit. 400lbs squats don't seem so easy, I think the deadlifts will definitely reach there faster.

Is there actually a carryover front front squats to back squats ah? I need to know, cuz I heard there is....but I dono how significant the amount is.

No, i'll be happy with 365lbs.
there is probably no damnned way i can hit 400lbs unless i go with smolov. which would make me broke, because i would need to spend a lot of money on food and probably supplements.

unless..............someone intends to supply me with bcaa's, whey, nitric oxide, creatine maybe, leucic and stuff...hehehehe, then i'll gladly do smolov and hit 405lbs this year:P (wah so proud and cocky sial me! *SLAP SLAP*)

nothing

i dun use even protein anymore. ran out of everything.
so now protein shakes=milk with oats.

I don't mind u noe
cuz i will be coming up to kl in about 2 weeks
but how come you bought muscletech? wasn't it extremely expensive compared to the otehr brands?

wahahah!! LMaO!
I hope jones is saying he wants to get creatine to get that strength effects yadayada, but still intends to take protein, in other forms

don't worry, you'll get it next week
rest well, eat well and don't hit urself so hard about it....

Redo 97 .

Erh....
135LBS for 6 , 7 reps on a strong day.

Usually I do MP's, after all my main workouts and oly lifts are done. So just like about 2-3 reps and I'll be burned.
