Master the Squat: 5 Tips to Hit 700lbs Naturally!

[@aidandunn3690]

If I don’t squat 700 after this I’m blaming you

[@GavinAdin]

If I don't squat 800 I'm blaming you for blaming me

Bruh haha​@@GavinAdin

[@panos9277]

There is no way this guy is natural though

[@Ryguzapi]

​@@panos9277natural enough to pass the drug tests

[@GavinAdin]

@@panos9277 I am indeed natural. Although my federations drug testing is pretty hit or miss in terms of frequency of testing, I must say I’ve been tested a ton of times both in competition and randomly at my home lol. Granted I know that doesn’t expunge any and all chances that I could still be using stuff but, my drug-tests are the only “hard” evidence I can give you. Everything else is me just telling you things I know to be true, that I hope you believe.

This comment means a lot to me, thank you. Someone told me I wasn’t providing enough value in my content, and they were right. So going into 2025 it’s a mission of mine to flip the script and make sure I provide as much value as I possibly can. Grateful you took the time to watch!

[@Kaindlathleticsystem]

One of the best videos to recap the important points.

[@breadenjoyer7986]

[@Unknown-hk1cg]

Appreciate you and the team Gavin. I'm 3 years deep in training and on the cusp of 600 and getting ready for the journey into the 7s, thanks for inspiring, informing, and everything else

[@GavinAdin]

that's amazing!! I remember the first time I ever truly hit 600 was at my first nationals back in 2019. I had a mental block with 600 so I had to take 612 in competition haha. I'm excited for you man, best of luck with training!

[@shuvamchakraborty262]

Thanks for the content.I think we can break the Accessory work into : 1)Specific Accessory Work-Like for squat specific accessory can be Anderson squats. 2)General Accessory Work-Leg Press can be general accessory for Squats.

[@ragazoub]

Nice video, I guess you’ve already encountered injuries, how did you dealt with going back to that movement? For exemple, I’m scared of loading a 70kg deadlift bar

[@AustinMoore-dl4qw]

This is what I need right now. Do you have any advice for someone like me who has been randomly experiencing knee pain during my heavy squats? How do I get rid of it?

[@superbean8110]

Im no Gavin. But doing wall sits during my warmups helped me.

[@GavinAdin]

Tricky situation. First, try to assess where the pain is, what kind of pain it is, and how you ended up here. Take a look at your previous training, think back to any specific moments when the pain began, which movements exacerbate it, etc. Next step would be to use that info to diagnose the issue, though honestly I would see a reputable PT or doctor in conjunction with drawing your own conclusion. After that it's just a matter of creating a gameplay to both heal and improve symptoms. Knee TKE's are a great exercise for general knee discomfort, but tbh it really depends on what's going on. What feels like your knee could actually be your IT band, for example.

[@JM-kr9bi]

Can I get a copy of the e-book?

[@JesseLifts23]

I'm interested on reading the mindset ebook

[@GavinAdin]

@@JesseLifts23 what’s your email?

[@Istoppedaging]

Not sure if you'll agree with this, but this is from personal experience. I try to space out my steps hours away from my heavy squat day. So if I train at 5:30pm, I'm doing cardio around 11am and then again some time either after or before my last meal, but usually after. I notice when I do light cardio right before I squat, my legs "feel it" and I'm 33. Idk if it's because I'm getting older haha Thank you for the tips though. Still trying to increase my numbers because I love this shit!

[@GavinAdin]

100% agree. I always do my cardio after I train, and I try to have it be as spaced out as possible ESPECIALLY if I'm doing a full 40 min

[@Istoppedaging]

@@GavinAdin I know that's right haha You're an inspiration man. I'm sure you get told this a lot, but we're all rooting for you brother. 🤝

[@danielabraham4596]

Man this video got me so juiced

[@GavinAdin]

AHHHHHHHHHHH

[@Lift4Christ83]

Now that I have a great coach (at 41 years old, try not to think about what could have been), I'd like to hit a 501 squat someday in the future. Also may have a shot at the 40-44 year old WR deadlift at 198 lbs in 100% Raw!

[@GavinAdin]

@@Lift4Christ83 dude YES. No doubt in my mind that it’s beyond possible. Dave Rick’s is 60+ years old I believe and is still squatting 661+

[@Lift4Christ83]

@GavinAdin Yeah, Dave is a monster! The WR deadlift at my weight class is 672 as of now, and the guy was 48 when he pulled it, so there's a chance I'll have a shot at that too!

[@zzzspxro]

[@romet4517]

Won't the walking/cardio tire you out before a squat/deadlift session?

SMART MAN

step count is the key to squatting 700
