[@stevelau7694]

Can't ignore the woman in the back doing 1 arm pullups with ease. I was able to get to 3 reps when I was in the Marine corps and doing pullups very frequently but there's a massive advantage being a man especially in upper body strength

[@mikael4126]

It's good you recognize your upper body strength over women. First guy I've seen that doesn't have a big ego. Nice man

I want a 315 front squat so bad

[@patricklang7162]

Took me awhile, but eventually I got 300, then 305, then 315 and my last PR was 405. You’ll get there. Work for it.

Specificity in your training is key bro if u want ur squat to go up u gotta train accordingly

[@ThaStonedGardner]

Coming back from two major back surgeries and years of opiate addiction, I started at 100 pounds body weight and barely able to lift a bar. Went at it way too hard and had multiple I juries at the same time. I started my whole lifting routine completely from scratch at 41 years old, focusing on form. Been back in the gym training seriously for a year now. I'm at a 275 1rm, 235 5rm, and 205 10rm. Getting closer to being back in the three plate club! I squat 2x a week and test my 1rm every two or three weeks. I've been able to go up five or ten pounds every time I've tested. I don't do front squats as they hurt my back. I do a lot of pause squats, banded squats, and barbell lunges.

[@abellabarbie]

Yes. I squatted 300. Haven't gone for my one rep max yet. It is possible with consistent training. But I also have the powerlifting/sprinting gene.

[@Cas_anova]

No need for one rep maxes. Just work your 5rep maxes and you'll have longevity aswell as strength.

[@bmstylee]

With consistency yes you can. I topped out at 210 kg in my late 30s. It was hard and took a lot of miserable work but it can be done. Now at 44 I'm happy with my 185 kg max.

[@sandrost4243]

People can do so much more than they have any idea with consistency and time. I did 475 @ 146 pounds in competition and drug-free. It took a long time to get there and a ton of discipline, but just about anyone can get to three plates.

[@williamcoachg3228]

Beast! Awesome

[@Thetaterdickwilly]

Stop the 🧢

[@AverageJoe2308]

I'm about 6ft 5 inches, super leggy and can back squat 315 below parallel for reps. I often get compliments in the gym which is of course flattering, but I always follow up by saying that I believe that most people can back squat 315 if they seriously train for it. It's just that a lot of people hate leg day, so they do not commit to a meaningful long-term programme and won’t see the results. I'm sure if I put a gun to people’s heads and told them that I would pull the trigger if they can’t do one rep of 315 in say 5 years’ time then I'm sure the whole gym will be repping out 315! Bit of an exaggeration but 315 is a reasonable goal for most people.

[@kapoioBCS]

315: yes. 405: mmm yes probably. 500: probably not. 600: no.. not normal people. 660: is tren and stanozolol normal? 😂😂😂

[@patricklang7162]

By normal does he mean not on PEDs? I took it as just an average person. I was pretty fit, but couldn’t squat 315, until I could. Then was able to hit 405 eventually. I stopped trying to go so heavy after I finally hit my goal of 405 though. I agree with you analysis though haha

[@kapoioBCS]

@@patricklang7162I think they mean: average genetics plus not on peds, maybe even not dedicated athletes

[@onwilson2]

I agree. I've high bar, ATG, squatted 315lbs+ and I am very normal. I did it with no chalk, no wraps, with just a belt. It takes time and hard work, and lots of grinding.

[@tenr0h]

I squatted 160kg for 3 reps when I was 17 (5 years ago) i didnt squat for a long time and im at 120kg for 3 again, low bar ATG always. Those thin belts only because i didnt like how those thick ones cut into my skin. So yes its pretty possible

[@JacobDurette]

ALL POSSIBLE. DEPEND ON TIME AND BODYWEIGHT. START TRAINING AT 40, NATTY, UNDER 200. PROB WONT SQUAT 500. START AT 15, NATTY, TRAIN FOR 15 YEARS AND YES 500 VERY REALIST FOR A MAN. IVE GOT A WOMAN THAT STARTED TRAINING IN HER 40 SQUATTING 250+ FOR SET OF 12.

[@sambetz3958]

i squatted 315 for 3 the summer after i graduated. i was only about 160, and after i did it i figured pretty much anyone could eventually

[@JsilntParkour90]

I first hit 315 weighing around 165lbs ish on a heavier day. Felt so good.

[@Cas_anova]

315 at 165 is good bro!

[@ChadWilson]

I am 53, weight 185, and I consider myself to be normal. I can BS 315 lbs for 5 reps. Though, I have been told that actually puts me in the 1%. It has taken me about 5 years to get to this point, I will note.

[@behrad9712]

Thank you 🙏

[@d_page]

After almost 10 years of inactivity, i came back to the gym and it took me about 3 months of general preparation to get a modest 315lbs at 83kg/bw. Far from +200kg for reps, it is 100% possible for anyone getting the work done.

[@PlumpyDelicioso]

Novice question: is the bar weight included when you say “315lbs?”

[@rojman4872]

Yes sir. Bar = 45 lbs + 270 lbs of weight (6 x 45 lb plates) = 315 lbs.

[@Oyamanosolo]

I'm 165 lbs. I started to lift at 31 (never did any sport before), started also wrestling at 33. I'm 34 now and I can do 315 lbs squat high bar ATG for 5 sets of 5. Yes 315 is really reachable for anyone without health issue.

[@MixedMartialHelp]

I pretty much only squat SSB now after double shoulder surgery, I miss doing low bar squat it was my favourite! After surgery I couldn't squat a 20kg bar though so it didn't matter lol

[@magnusemeritus]

I am normal person. I squat 315 just fine. Even 335. I am training to become more than that.

[@GraysonAugustine]

Im a normal, non athlete, no drug using person and I squat 565, deadlift 650, and OHP 285.

That’s a sick shirt!!!

[@AM1media]

JayLib shirt! 💥💥💥

[@adriansanchez4875]

as a guy who used to workout at home, mostly push ups, pullups , DB stuff and completely skipped legs It took me just about a year to hit 315 for 4. Keep in mind I started at just 95lb to learn the form and then worked up to 135lb for working sets and kept going up. I would say I'm not a naturally strong person, I never played sports, unathletic, and naturally weak.

[@ballagh]

At 57 and mainly training for paddle sports at the moment my back squat remains around 155kg on a good day. I think the best thing I ever did for squatting was starting with a heavy 10 and building up over 8 weeks (once a week) to a set of 20 at the same weight. Probably made me stronger at the time but the main thing was drilling in decent technique. Everything then builds from there.

[@drhjhulsebos]

I tripled 210kg there then got a big hug from my 7 year old.

[@bmstylee]

Congratulations. That's a massive lift. My best was 210 for a single and it felt awful. Never got beyond that.

[@danielorozco2297]

I'm only 63kg, just recovering from a fracture in my arm where I needed a metal implant and just now transitioning back to heavy lifting. 77.5kg for 8 reps.

[@sixofsix]

All of you folks saying “I can do it, so anyone can do it” are missing the point of the question. Saying that is exactly like saying “if you just put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything”. These are common sayings that sound great out loud but don’t mesh out in real life. You CAN’T do anything just putting your mind to it. If that’s the case, put your mind to it and run a faster 200 than Usain Bolt. Just because YOU can squat 315 does not automatically mean everyone else can.

[@SuperAwesomedude20]

instead of front squat on the impulse day, what if I did ATG split squats instead? Do you do all of your OLY variations on impulse day?

[@eden.e8863]

I can’t wait to hit my 70kg high bar back squat goal! I’ve plateaued at 57.5kg/ 60kg for 4 months now!! I’ll be taking on this advice to push through it🫶🏾

[@Alexey-gp7vc]

read about GZCLP, focus on your form and speed, rest 3-5 min at least, work with RIR 2+

[@hanskazan7403]

Plateaued at 57.5 kg squat for 4 months lollll a 70 kg back squat you can get in a couple weeks with stronglifts

[@eden.e8863]

@ i’ve been doing that but then i tank out really quickly. As in i wouldn’t stay consistent to go to the gym. Which obviously contributes to the plateau too. So i’m trying to find a balance that pushes me without pushing myself so hard that I need so much time to recover physically and mentally

[@ENetArch]

I squatted 4 plates at 40. I would still be doing 4 plates, but suffered an athletic hernia. Now I'm down to 2 plates +.

[@AmorFati777X]

sports hernia? I had one of those. Gotta find a doc who actually knows how to fix them and they arent exactly easy to find.

[@scal7122]

Will this work for the front squat too?

[@christiliy9775]

94 kg 183 cm tall 60 year old man im not fat nor cut but ive gone from playing mentally with lighter weights to just putting 4 x50lbs then adding 2 x 22 plates repeat then 4 x15 then depending another 4 x10 lbs . First 3 sets of 10 are full squats last are 3/4, 4 -5 reps adding ive got l4 l5 spinal injuries but its primarily its just a mind .uck convince yourself you can and you will.

[@michaelschoenfeld6017]

56, lower back arthritis, 3 set of five deep 315. Thought I was weak, feeling pretty good about myself now.

[@PrinceSamurai45]

A 315 squat should be totally achievable. I was hitting a 405 double at 17 and I have long femurs for my height. I just got back in the gym in April after a 9 year absence. Already at 335x5. Dig the Jaylib shirt!

[@elopez1369]

I'm trying to get 405 now. Hit 375 for 1 at the end of October and it felt like I had more left.

[@noway5266]

Same but zercher squat.

[@zezeti2246]

For myself,having long legs ive noticed its better to train in high reps,doing 5x10 at the moment,when i train in low reps for a few months i start to get all sort of joint aches

[@iameladlevi]

Is there a bench press version of this video?

[@SoulRollerFIN]

300 pounds seems quite easy, like an intermediate level squat. I've squatted 160 kilos powerlifting style and 135 kilos oly style after partial LCL/ACL tears. I can probably still do that 135 kilos oly style and I haven't squatted with focus on going heavy in nearly 10 years. Squatting 200 kilos could be possible for me, even oly style, though I am on that long leg gang, but that would require a lot of focus on just lifting heavy, which I don't have time for. Now 300 kilos for me is probably impossible. That's an insane amount of weight to squat even power lifting style. But what anybody involved in sports should be able to do is squat 1,5 times their body weight for reps. It's enough for most sports.

[@philipmartin3902]

Are there any issues with just using a safety bar for back squatting?

[@capnbarky2682]

You miss out on the mobility of holding the bar in a front/back racked position. Barbells are more common than SSB as well, so you're limiting yourself to only squatting when you have access to one.

[@JacobDurette]

NO, Dismiss the previous comment. If back squat are akward to get into position go for SSB. Better to work on mobility while working on mobility and work your legs while squatting ;)

[@philipmartin3902]

@@capnbarky2682 agree on front squats. On back squats I switched to a safety bar bc a torn thumb ligament, and haven't really missed vs safety bar. Only thing I can think of is it could be easier to rep barbell back squats more quickly in a power phase.

[@charlesyenko9166]

DOPE shirt.. RIP DILLA Also can haven’t trained or squatted recently but can still BS 315 cold

Ngl, when I first read the title of this video. I thought you were implying that most untrained people off the street could walk into a gym for the first time, and squat 315.

[@guts8952]

For me it's 200kg squat. After 3-6 months, don't know exactly the time it was years ago, I squared 120kg, hurt my back, nothing serious, but couldn't move normal for weeks. And after that my focus shifted to upper body. Now I want to achieve it but slowly. I train currently 1-2 times a month the squat with 100kg for 3+ reps and will go up with the weight every Month, maybe in a year I achieve it🤔

[@DavidPro-xf9di]

Is the statistics about "100 squats 5 pound strength increase" available somewhere?

[@adamsmalelover835]

Yes. But it will take time. Keep grinding and be patient.

[@kevinyoung947]

Did 315 freshman year of high school no belt always played football as a kid have 5 sons now trying to get it back to 405

[@GregIrwin]

Played football in highschool hit 315 probably around 17-18 the first time after 2 ACL surgeries, full depth high bar, just turned 22 and could squat 5 plates on a good day but have hit 525 It’s 100 doable for the average person if they learn to use depth and perfect form to grow and progressive overload safely (and eat dammit)

The question is more like if normal people should squat 315

[@Pedroppl1]

I have below average genetics for strength, bones very thin on xrays, bad proportions for squat, and did squat 315 ATG @78kg and 1,77m tall. If I can, I think most people can with appropriate strength training.

[@kaiwilliams141]

I haven't actually done it but I did 305 and I'm sure I've gotten stronger. So yes pretty much any average person can squat 315
