It’s amazing how Tom platz has mastered the psychology behind repping out squats. 5 is manageable reps for most people, don’t process 20-30 reps, bang out mini sets of 5 and before you know it you’ve just done 40 reps

[@Beensock]

He also recognizes when to say 2/3 more instead of five and then when to start saying 1 more. He has so much experience he can tell how close to failure people are better than they can for themselves. He really optimizes how far he can push someone. The real challenge is to find the drive without him there, find a way to put him in your head.

[@mcpartridgeboy]

sounds good on paper but you will know about it loong before you hit 40 reps.

[@bthorn5035]

I havent squated in 20 years due to knee and back issues. After watching this video, I stretched, warmed up, stretched some more, strapped up some braces, and squated till I vomited. Best workout in years. Thank you very much!

i didnt think she'd get 20 she was struggling then at 40 she still looked like she had that little bit more then at 60 it was like oh my god, but even in that moment she didnt look entirely spent. thats the kind of craziness that motivates people even if they can squat 700 lbs or 800 lbs it doesnt matter because most people arent putting the effort that she put into that set of 60. its rare to see women in gyms just grit there teeth and attack like she did, proud of her, really am.

[@djdoc70]

When doing 20 reps, by rep 10 you’re questioning why you are doing this. By 14 you are negotiating with god, by 17 you’re talking to god and 19 god is talking to you. Just delusional and ready to write your will in your head. It is crazy how Tom Platz kept on moving the goal post. I would have died at 20. But these kids clearly didn’t want to disappoint the living legend. It’s an honor to have someone like him yelling at you.

[@wolverinexx2013]

He is ONLY asking the "Five More" reps because at the end of the last rep he knew they had it in them he would not ask for more if he sees it is no longer possible to do at least at the risk of the lifter incurring injury. He did a great job pushing them to the limits. The first guy was a beast he pushed the hardest I could tell.

What an honor to be trained by the great Tom Platz. When he says “5 more!!” , you know he wants more than 5.

[@Neo_Rain146]

Just want to say that using tom’s techniques I’ve revolutionized my squat. I used to hate squatting and it was the exercise i’d dredd doing the most as I’d be making the usual mistakes (leaning forward and buckling knees) but since I’ve employed Tom’s stance and principles it’s now my favorite exercise and I’m squatting weight I never thought I could.

[@MonotoniTV]

How many sets and about how many reps do you do usually? How often do you train legs? I'm a bloody beginner 😂

[@Neo_Rain146]

MonotoniTV For squats which is usually my first exercise I do about 5-7 sets. 2 warm up sets of about 15-20 reps real light and then 5 working sets were I will do 10 reps per set but my last heavy working set I usually try get as close to 10 reps as possible sometime I squeeze out 7 or 8 depending on how I’m feeling that day. Rule of thumb is don’t increase weight on bar until you can complete 10 clean reps with good form. Try follow that formula with every exercise you do, aim for failure on your last working set. For safety have someone spot you on those heavy squat sets tho. I do about 4-5 leg exercises per workout so about 20 sets per workout. I try do legs atleast twice a week depending how my soreness and recovery goes but always remember to stretch your quads, hamstrings after a big leg workout as it will save you a lot of soreness the next day. Get your stance and form right initially and don’t worry too much about moving a lot of weight as that will come in time.

[@MonotoniTV]

@@Neo_Rain146 thanks 😄 I will keep that in mind

[@cccpredarmy]

@@MonotoniTV I'm a beginner myself but FORM is what one should aim for at the beginning. I'd argue that it's better to use lower weights and start training only for form. It should become your instinct. When you get woken up at 3am for squats your form should be perfect. I noticed the most improvement when I fixed my form.

[@sktzoner]

And it's not 2 plates. You count the plates by the number on one side only. Not combined. So they squatted 2 plates not 4. Which means you squat 1 plate. Which in of itself isn't a bad thing. By now you're probably beyond that. And if you are good job. If you're not. Freak it. Good job anyways. You accomplished something a lot of people never do
