Bro he absolutely yanked that bar off of you for the 305 😂 spotter must’ve been pulling your leg saying he barely touched it. That being said GREAT 275 bench my man that’s super impressive and great form and went very smooth
@@andrewgarfield9898 What are you on? It's early intermediate strength. There are so many people stronger than that. There have been several people who have contributed 1000 lbs to their total just through the deadlift.
Eh it is more common than you think. Squat is more technical and requires more, different body mechanics. I pushed waaaay ahead on my squat but when I first started wanting to get serious, I could bench 135x10 and squat 100 lbs like 2-3 times with crap form. That was when I was 16. Now I’m 35, I can hold a 100 lb kettlebell and front squat atg with it for 25 reps no belt or knee wraps. When I was 24 I could back squat 425 for a max without a belt or knee wraps. But that is hard proof you have to put in the work. To be honest too, let’s say you can bench 315, prettt damn good and you can squat 315 also with perfect form, I’d say that is still great especially if you are some average dude that goes to the gym. Ain’t gonna win you competitions but you’ll be healthy and strong enough to do most things in life that require physical activity.
@ColinMurray Bro please try the low bar squat instead of the high bar squat. I feel like you’d gain an additional 20 pounds on your max immediately. You’d be able to rep 315 for two or three. Idk how to explain the intricacies of the low bar squat but there’s plenty of guys here on YT that have content on it. Great vid!!!
For me, a fellow ginger of slimmer stature, it was a game changer. I think with your body structure you’d get better leverage and feel a lot more comfortable under the weight. Love your content brotha 🤙🏻
@@colinmurrayYT Lol, do not do low bar squats, terrible advice. Not only are they less atheltic and look worse, but you are going to be leaning further forward then you are already.
Idk of anyone has said this but if you have weak hips, you should train them instead of stretching them with something like the Sus Machine. Stretching is for flexibility
sick video love the stuff you put out. please put the kg equivalent when ur talking lbs bro some of your viewers have no idea what you're talking about unless they google every figure you mention. also you have long legs so squats are gonna be your nemesis unless you put something under your heel to elevate it as someone with long femurs myself making that minor change skyrocketed my squat numbers.
That is an impressive journey and you're pretty good at benching and deadlifts for someone who isn't doing them regularly! Yet, I've been to the club and more and after a few years, I got arthritis in my AC joint. I've ruined it at some point by progressing too quickly and I've had several cases of back pain after squatting too much. This is why I'm mostly doing calisthenics now (36m) for every fitness in addition to running, cycling and swimming. I confess I have done one strength workout a week with weights to maintain despite getting lighter (which is intended, because too much weight during running is a hindrance, even though I'm below 10 percent body fat). But I just do 3 sets of squats at about 250 pounds and level it at that - ass to the grass though to keep my hip mobility Ps. Partial reps with low weight at the weakest part of the movement helped me and the Hepburn training style with 10 sets of 1 rep with just a little less weight than your max
Start squatting in the ROM that’s comfortable for you, and add some leg lifts, adductor/abductor machine, and glute medius strengthening to your program. The squat is the stretch, your mobility likely suffers due to weakness
That bench bounces of you with zero pause , we can see your ass leaving the bench and the spotter lifts the thing half way up. Also the only club a powerlifter would want to get into is the 1 ton club.
Hey man could you do a video on the hip stretches? And just your work on the squats, I also find myself really struggling with squats and would be interested in seeing your take
Idk if you posted the wrong clip for bench but you definitely failed that, the bar was going back down before the spotter touched it. You probably have 295 though
i say what also couldve helpped with the squats is doing negatives with the 315 or starting at he bottom and just pushing the weight up instead of the full motion of the squat
I would appreciate if u could drop a vid in regards to good squat technique bcuz whenever I try to squat it also just feels like a lower back workout 😂
This isn't really powerlifting training. If you wanted to try this again my recommendation would be to do it over the course of 60 days. Do two 4 week blocks and go from a light weight week 1 to a heavy (but still sub-maximal) weight week 4. Then start over from week 1 (ideally with a heavier weight than the previous block). There are a ton of free powerlifting programs so you could run one of those. Ideally on your PR day you should also do your PRs in the order of 1. Squat 2. Bench 3. Deadlift, as it allows time to recover between squat and bench
master the body weight, mobility matters. You articulate well. That said on the incline leg press machine I can max 24 plates(45's). I stop at 16 plates now. I'm in my 70's. six pack etc. Thanks Colin, greta channel.
What's your take and thoughts on high rep basic bodyweight calisthenics! Like k boges..! Would love to know your thoughts and even better if you try it..😅
I’ll have to try it before I have a real opinion but I never do those kinds of workouts. I feel like it’s way better to add weight than to go crazy with reps. Might be a cool video to try it out tho thanks for the idea 💡
You did not make that 305 bench! Come on man. You are expecting too much progress in just 30 days. You should be setting progressive goals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and do updates once a month.
When trying a heavier weight on the squat, instead of taking it all the way down, try training partial range of motion, working deeper and deeper, until you can take that weight all the way down?
Guys is there anyway I can improve on my compound lifts Bench: 165 Squat: 275 Deadlift: 275 BW: 177 Height: 6 foot Age: 16 Also I have been training for a year and a half
Get someone to teach you the proper form then start with your bodyweight on all lifts. Do 7 sets of 3 reps, add 5 pounds to every lift every week and do that until you can’t add anymore weight. After that, cut volume to 3 sets of 5 reps. Add 5-10 pounds when you can.
I'm gonna be honest, this is way too "bro science" lol. Stretching isn't going to give you stronger ligaments, it gives you more flexible ligamenrs. Repeatedly trying to lift the same weight that is way too heavy for you isn't going to give you stronger muscles, it's going to give you injuries. Weight training is about progessive overload. You need to lower the weight by a lot and then move up with the 2.5 lb plates, 5 lbs at a time. That will give you stronger muscles and ligaments slowly over time. That's the only way to do it. Did you look up a single training plan? Cuz it looks like you just applied bro science you heard on tik tok and just went at it. I'm not trying to be mean, this video could just be really dangerous if people try to follow your example.
Powerlifting is maybe the #1 most insular community. 1000 lb club is sick but all these mfs saying “the form on that,” “I wouldn’t count that” assumes you’re competing at their standards. Sick to see how much you’ve grown regardless of the haters!
Bro he absolutely yanked that bar off of you for the 305 😂 spotter must’ve been pulling your leg saying he barely touched it. That being said GREAT 275 bench my man that’s super impressive and great form and went very smooth

Lmao this made me laugh. I agree, you got this man
bro I was sitting here thinkin the same thing
i wouldn't count that bench, but i appreciate the hard work you're putting in
I think u posted the wrong clip for the 305 bench
bench spotter got a nice back pump from rowing the bar
The 1000lb club is fascinating because of how differently each lifter reaches it.
There is no such thing as the 1000 Ib club. It’s humanly impossible

keeping up the calistenics and then powerlifting is a cool combo! Well done btw!
8:01 who in the world would count that Bench? :D Your numbers are impressive, but that bounce + spot are so far off from a good rep...

Aren’t you sacrificing all the ground you gained with weighted callisthenics?
Not really I'm still strength training but I'll probably have to cut weight a lil

Yeah it’s epidemic sound

I started doing back squat, deadlift and overhead press (not bench) and I've been seeing gains in strength & muscle mass.
Bench didn’t count amigo. You also totally faked not getting that 315 squat the first 2 times for dramatic effect.
