personal best for squats?

[deffryn]

What are your personal bests for squats? Today I got 550 pounds for 3 reps, that is my new PR. i felt good on my previous set and my buddy thought i should throw on another 90 pounds on the bar. my goal is to get over 600 some point next year, and I weigh 275 pounds, 5 years ago i couldn't even squat 3 plates!

I did 400 before but my knee is terrible. Squats is good but knees are bad haha

I don’t lift for strength so to be honest my PR is 455 lol.

I do 8x8 on leg days with back and Zercher squats. Typically get up to 455 around set 4 or 5 then work back down to 405 and finish her out.

so one set of 455 for 8 maybe once a month if I can work that high.

Keep grinding though, if the weight moved easy at 3 reps I’d be identical to your buddy and demand a 1 repper at 90 more pounds; if you fail you fail but it’s all progress!

Probably there or there abouts on a back squat. I'm a big fan of Hatfield Squats using a Safety Squat Bar. I've repped 660+ that way

I don't lift heavy like that anymore so I have no idea.

I’ve never tried more than 405lbs to be honest lol

I quit doing squats and deadlifts a few years ago due to my disc issues

None for me. Ive broken vertebraes several times and cant squat and even if i could, i couldnt care less about maxing out... if you are a power lifter then obviously that matters but if not, what exactly does a max do or prove... ? No thanks
