STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

I knew that's why you'd be salty

I mean in all aspects of life you can take someone who as trained and/or practiced something and they can perform at the level of someone who has dedicated their life to said thing.

Dont assume that "playing at a professional level" = weight room strong.



Kobe's not squatting 400, LeBrons not squatting 500. Why? Because theyre not dumb and they realize that their bodies are their cash flow and the risks of squatting 400 FARRR out weight the benefits of it.


Squatting 2x bodyweight for an athlete is NOT easy. At all.

 

[awwsome]

Top sets for my DL the other night.
335 2x6

Didn't chalk up and my hand started slipping on the last 2 reps. Going to work on grip strength this training cycle so when I load up 505 that's the last thing on my mind.

My starting numbers for this week were my week 3 numbers 8 weeks ago. Either I originally started too low or I'm slowly getting stronger. Hella forgot how it feels to train beltless too, my back is tight today gotta foamroll this ****

Nice work.


I don't throw the belt on until I'm at 4 plates for DL and 3 plates for squats.

I think that's a little different angle than what I'm saying.

You probably couldn't grab Kobe after game 40 of the NBA season and say go squat 400lbs,

But after specifically training towards said goal, they're closer than most.

 

[stuntman mike]

hard to say with the elite athletes. jon jones came close to parallel on a 500# squat and lebron is bigger than him. he was a d1 wrestler though so i imagine he did weight training from when he was in high school.

Great job man. I need to get to this level eventually. I'm currently at the level of the dude on his phone

Can you blame me though? 

When you do it you can tell me whatever you want.

You're joking right? That was a quarter squat 

 

[jewbacca2]

A football squat is never a powerlifting squat

 

[sgamon]

What kinda footwear you using?

Whenever I squat I always basically just focus on pushing my hips back towards my heels and that usually keeps me in perfect form.

I'm almost 100% sure it's the shoes I'm wearing. Right now I'm using the adidas tubular runner for the gym but they're horrible for squats since the heel is so elevated
But most of the time my feet are flat it's just the lighter weight squats which are my warmup sets that I have trouble with

 

[lucho]

Ya'll making me want to go max out squat right now haha

I was wearing adidas kobe 1s to squat. Terrible . Ive since ditched shoes completely and squat in socks, but since i have poor ankle mobility i put my heels on 5lbs plates. I do mobility exercises on non leg and DL days. Might have to cop slme squat shoes at some point but im waiting to find a decent price with cheap shipping.

Thats why Im saying Bron will not hit no 500 squat to real depth! hahah

If you gave Bron a short period to train for it, he would crush it

 

[sgamon]

That first guy definitely did a quarter
Might have to record myself so y'all can help me on my form. I think I'm doing fine though I just need flatter shoes.
Would a pair of janoskis be better? They're pretty flat like vans

 

[23kidd]

I didnt know we were talking full ASG squats lol

 

[Barbados Slim]

@Soundview  sorry if you answered this already but what was your BF before your cut? 

 

[soundview]

Power shrugs are one exercise I stand by as far as using your wholee body to jerk the Weight up. My traps were always sore the day after.

Might do some tonight.

Yea that's not gonna work fam.


Get some Vans, Chucks or just go barefoot.

@Soundview
 sorry if you answered this already but what was your BF before your cut? 

It was 17% supposedly. I'm guessing 15-16% if it's 12% after almost 2 months.

This is a pic of me before cutting. Way earlier this year. I guess you can guesstimate it.

Seconds pic I was flexing my abs too lmao.
