yep yep yep. the difference between a dumbass maxing out a leg press, and a guy squatting respectable numbers, is that the squatter is an impenetrable walking machine from dick to traps while the leg presser needs 3 takes to sit up in bed in the morning. do your squats and deads people, the further your muscles are from your core, the more useless they become if your core isn't up to par

Frankly? I am weaker than you, so my advices maybe are not so valid as others but I try help. You said, that you have heart a lot about bigger risk of injury after 40. Therefore you fear it. I say more warm up sets and your body will have less injury potentail than younger. What I mean warm up sets? I mean sets with 1 or 2 reps in the range of 40-70% of your record. At 40% your body (especially nervous system). What I know 7-10 sets is apropriate. What concerns the main training if 455 is your pinnacle it is very strenous to do it all and all again. I mean when you train for strength you should have some reserve. Maybe you should go off the weight and start form 400 adding 5,5 pound per session. Moreover, you should stop doing that exercise and replace it by front squat or another. It helps to make your body more responsive to your main movement. I dont know how much your adductors and abductors are. It is very important especially in the intermidiate phase of squat. Finally, there is sich thing as structial balance by Cherles Poliquin and another guys (but by him is the most popular, probably). For exemaple the proportion between your front squat and back squat (ass to grass, what I know) is ver important. The streght of hamstrings to quad is crucial (not only for strenght but also for injury prevention). I hope that I helped and not made you sleepy ;) .

@@ggrthemostgodless8713In the terms od ohp I amstronger than you. My personal best is 210 (95kg). My the best routine is 3x1, 3x2, 3x3; 2 minutes of breaks between sets. Ones I did with the weight of 90-100% of my max than I drop the weight about 5 kg on 2s, and then 5 on 3s. It is very streounes routine escpecialy on your nervous system so do not overdo it. I do not know whether it helps you but what I have observed is that when you want progress in shoulder press you need to with weight to 90% or above. Just even for one set. And as I said in squat statement your structure balance is very important. Biceps, rotator cuff. You should have them strong enough to balance the weight. 210 is for me know my ceiling beacuse I have problem with one of my stabilizers in rotator cuff (I dont know the name of muscle (I am not native speaker) but it is above shoulder blade) in my right arm.

I imagine I could have hit a 500 1RM, but I've never loaded so much that I had to struggle because of fear of having to bail out of one at a small public gym without a decent spotter. There I rarely saw even 2 plates on a bar on any lift, so it wasn't really in a good environment to go all out. Now I train at home and concentrate more on bench.

@@Ganpatthealth hey thanks for the reply. It turns out i just need to manage intensity and my carbs. Before i went hardcore and didnt even consider recovery. Now i am doing much better and have been making the best progress on squats with much less volume but still decent intensity.I would say squat is my best lift. I deadlift more but squats feel ,more comfortable. The tension headaches are pretty much gone but will sometimes surface at the end of my leg extension sets because i still tend to push myself hard. they go away after a minute or two.

Been kinda close to 500. 475 lbs felt awful and scary as hell but I got it...... and haven't gone near it again.

Same here. I've squatted 485lbs/220kgs multiple times for singles and it always feels awful. And yet somehow I can do 410lbs for 10 and 440lbs for 6. The math isn't mathing LOL

I can squat and almost never use glutes, requires a lot of activation and then mobility work for me to be ready

14:09 What exactly did he say THERE?? he speeded his talk a lot right there, and I caught "hips" wider, hingey (?), [mumbles]... this is the slow descent I do, that's why I care, and he spoke faster at this particular point The auto captions do not say it.

"That's generally gonna be people that are a bit wider, a lot more hip engagement, you get a lot more control"

@@elizabethciortuz8715 Thanks... he tends to JOIN words at some points, ""hipswideralotmoreengagement...control"" It is great info but if he would just keep the same pace and enunciation more evenly. Thanks a lot.

Hit 500@170 in my 20's. I'm 50 now and trying to come back. Anderson squats for 5 progressive singles after a traditional 5×5 got me there. Currently trying the Hepburn method and having great results
