It's probably because you're so used to looking at yourself. A trick i play on my mind is for certain periods I'll cover myself or tell myself not to look in the mirror. I did this last year for about 1 month where I wouldnt look at myself shirtless or anything. It gives you a better perception of your progress. Btw 195 at 5'7 is friggin impressive especially if you're anything around 15% bf or less....Originally Posted by wawaweewa
Sure it's possible. Work on speed/ explosiveness a bit more. The squat is one of those exercises where mass in and of itself helps quite a bit but progress can be had while staying at the same weight. The only thing you should realize is that the stronger you get at a certain weight the more marginal the increase.Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
Squatted a personal best 355 (x2) today and I'm pretty sure I could've done more. I was winding down my workout and I just completed 10 sets of squats prior but I wanted to test my max...I think my real max is around 370 or so. My goal is to get to 4-plates (405) later this year.
Is it possible to improve in squats without your legs getting any bigger? My legs are already huge and I dont want them to grow anymore but I want to reach my goal. Jean shopping with big legs = horrifying experience
btw, even 160 at 5'10" seems kind of skinny. I'm 5'7" and around 195 now. My brother is 5'9" and weighs around 220. When I look at myself I don't really seem myself as 'big'.
