Id imagine your in a decent surplus with good sleep quality to recover from this

how much do u squat now 1000 kg ? :P

Squat god! Squat god! Can’t spell legendary without legs, squat god!

You sound like bubba from forest gump 😂😂

Been squatting every workout for nearly a year, now. I had to simplify my variety with my barbell squats due to fatigue, as well. I wear wedged weightlifting shoes so I took out elevated heel squats. I do pause and tempo when working on control and stability. Helps immensely with activation and connection. I do have a fondness for Anderson squats but my current gyms do not offer the correct racks for those. The most difficult aspect to me is mental. On my non-leg days, I auto-regulate and do one or two working sets first, then continue with my planned workout. There are days where I do not want to squat but then I see the squat rack and my mind shifts into battle mode! My entire body just gets primed for my workout after that! I FREAKING LOVE IT!

Did your quads get thicker or more defined?

As a wrestler I too have a grudge with the bulgarians

I started an Upper Lower Split at the beginning of the year. For the last couple of years prior I must've had less than 2 colds a year on average. I had about 5 or 6 "colds" within 8 months of starting this split. Lower days were sometimes so tough that I felt dizzy mid-set and normally I am an energetic person. The very important point that most of these "just work out more bro" videos miss is that people have lifes outside of the gym. I do physical labour 7 days a week, I also like to go cycling and doing other sports, I'm not patting myself on the shoulder, I simply want to stress that you can go too hard and should adjust your training to your life outside the gym or the other way around if you're that serious about it. I would usually do 4 working sets of heavy squats (rep range varying from 3 to 8 normally but I would also do 20 rep back squat sets sometimes which are excruciating) followed by 3 sets of fairly heavy RDLs 6-12, I started out following up squats with usual deadlifts (heavy), which is the perfect recipe to destroy your energy levels and get CNS fatigue. People don't talk about this enough, all I see is people pretending that you cannot possibly overtrain but if you're serious about lifting and also have a life to live that involves more than recovery and chillaxing you'll find that the point at which your body breaks just a little comes sooner than you think. For the last 2 months or so I've been listenting to my body more, start of August I even took a week off the gym and I think that helped me a lot. I really dislike deloading and so far have found it to be quite ineffective and it's probably far more sensible to simply regulate intensity and volume whenever you feel a bit off, it's not easy to tell especially if you enjoy the gym a lot. So far no more colds or similar, I would love to try squatting more often than twice a week but it seems it might not be the best move in my current situation.

What was your squat at the beginning?

@@russellmuscle7434 my max was 330

@@drewmeyer9679 I got all the way to 440 then fell back, im struggling around 370 right now

@@russellmuscle7434 I’d say take some time off.

Hey dude i am suffering from knee pain. Any advice? Also did you become stronger after this year of squatting every day? Cheers

@@vienna0810 I am not a physical therapist so I can only tell you what is working for me. I would always advise to seek out a medical professional for any underlying issues that could be exacerbated if not healed. Avoid any further damage. First things first, toss out any ego and reset your squat form. Lower the weight. Reestablish setup, foot/bar placement, and form cues. Proper footwear is vital. No u stable shoes such as running shoes. After conducting dynamic movements, I would hold on to the rack and lower myself into the bottom postion. While there, I would move my feet/hips around until I am comfortable and sit in it for a few seconds unaided. Flex your thighs and glutes to raise up slowly. Repeat a few times and take note of body placement and how your knees are tracking during activation. Shake your legs out and repeat but lower yourself unassisted. Start with the bar and keep everything tight. Control down into the hole, slight pause and control flex up. Do not lockout the knees! Keep the loading on your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. The purpose of moving slowly is to notice any swaying or shifting of your body throughout the squat and keeping your muscles activated. Take your time as your progress with the load. Learn your body again. Strengthen all of the muscles surrounding your knee (quads, hamstrings, calves). Keep it simple. Control the weight. Feel every rep. Focus. Do unilateral movements. My leg days are programmed and are first in the week. My other days are auto-regulated based on how I am feeling. Get in there and squat. Do not concern yourself with a Leg Day program until your knees are comfortable and healthy. TAKE YOUR TIME!

@@rufushughes4331 bro thanks so much for the detailed response. Point taken regarding starting out slow again. I will do a big reset and see how it goes. Much appreciated man!! Btw Do you squat high or low bar?

@@vienna0810 My strength is coming back and feels lovely! Because I took my time, my knees are feeling great! Last month, I did a 1-rep max of 385 and it moved smoothly on film. I had possibly another rep or two but I was happy with it. Things are progressing wonderfully. I should be able to hit at least 4 plates before the end of this year, which I have not done since breaking my foot in 2014. Dealt with subsequent knee issues afterwards, such as multiple ligament strains, tendon inflammation, and joint instability. My knee would give out or shift just by stepping off a curb. None of those issues today!

@@rufushughes4331 that sounds impressive as f. Hope you them 4 wheels a side soon

This is not really training. Its low rep that is training the nervouse system.

Yes, those lower, hard reps do tax the CNS. But fatigue, even if it’s small counts. Recovery is the most misunderstood concepts of growth and strength. It’s why we have deload weeks. Also, when I listen or read about people squatting or benching 4-5 times a week it shows me they don’t understand how the body works. For a natural lifted it’s a recipe for overtraining and injury. Try heavy dead lifting and squaring the next day. Then someone can tell me if fatigue occurs. Of course it’s really about being educated.

edit: squat everyday switched from bs to fs about 3 months ago and stuck at 225 1rm for like 2 weeks now

@@pakiislander8397 what?

Yes, but you should be squatting first anyways, because of the difficulty of the squat, also, try doing a hundred or so bodyweight squats in the morning, the myostatin deficiency will lead to more hypertrophy

Just do 200-1000 Hindu squats a day and have fish oil etc things that increases your knee oil. Your tendons are probably weaker than your muscles...

Diagnose your joints and see what's holding you back. Everyone can hit ATG squats but they need to make sure their hips, shoulders have the adequate flexibility and strength to do so. Things to consider: Can you get your knees past your toes? Are your side glutes strong enough to push your knees out to the side as you descend into the hole? Do you have adequate internal and external rotation in your legs? Do you have a pelvic tilt? Are your shoulders mobile enough to create a shelf with your upper back? There's more but keep working on these and I'll guarantee your squat will start going up.

Sure you do

@@jpilrose oh today I hit 495x5, after hitting 385x2x7 on bench. on a back heel elevated squat, it felt great to hit that hole. Nameen

Leg length differs with individuals. Many weightlifters will have leg lengths that are well under 60% of their height.

😂😂🤣

Squatting is not something you can guillotine yourself with like bench pressing, Dane gives very thought out content and he even brought up the guy who squats every day for like years this is not a video to be demonized and there's nothing to complain about, he also heavily emphasizes on athletic performance for specific sports and mentioned that squatting everyday would most likely become very mundane therefore there's nothing to be hyped about other than the inherit benefits. Young impressionable athletes and just kids in general have a lot of stuff to worry about and imo this video is certainly not one of them
